Kali Sulph. 439

Kali Sulph is a biochemic medicine, which contains the elements of

Potassium and Sulphur. Sulphur and potassium being profoundly

effective medicines, their compound i.e. Kali Sulph, also has quite a

profound action. It affects each and every part of the body.

It is difficult to include in one ch apter the large number of diseases,

which can possibly be cured with Kali Sulph. Everybody should try

to find out which diseases or symptoms can be treated with it. During

a preliminary study, one could feel that Kali Sulph is a panacea for

every kind of disease, yet its nature is not going to be a match for

every kind of illness. Numerous illn esses are described in relation to

Kali Sulph; however, the proper diagnos is of all of them is difficult,

and so would be the treatment. Th is medicine should be studied at

least ten to fifteen times. Despite this, the physician would be at a loss

to comprehend its effectiveness or non-effectiveness, in reference to

the diseases mentioned under Kali Su lph in literatures. The mere

presence of symptoms is not enough because the constitution of the

match is arrived at, Kali Sulph ca n totally uproot even the most

dangerous of diseases.

According to Dr. Kent, this medicine can offer complete cure from

epilepsy, but it is not necessary that a single dose may produce that

effect. Sometimes, it has to be re peated over a l ong time (with some

treatments have to be administered. The difficulty about Kali Sulph is

that there is no given detail about the kind of epilepsy amenable to

Kali Sulph, because complete proving has never been done with that

importance to Kali Sulph. Had the proving been done, it would

obviously be known what kind of epilepsy should be treated with it.

Under the present circumstances, we can only say that if an epilepsy

In addition to skin diseases, Kali Sulph is also useful in the treatment

of diseases affecting the mucous membranes. It is said that some

patients of Lupus can be totally cured with Kali Sulph. Similarly,

malaria going out of hand can be treated very well with Kali Sulph,

provided it fits the constitution of the patient.

Kali Sulph must be used in the treatment of chronic catarrhal

conditions, especially when the discharge becomes green.
