Kalium phosphoricum Anhang

[Dr. Ajit Singh]

Roger Morrison: the Kalis are fantastic remedies for making bits and pieces of puzzles. Kali-p. is a very underutilized remedy, because it is hard to know exactly how to prescribe it. There are not very many good keynotes for this remedy and yet it is very good for many cases of collapse; more often in mental collapse than in physical collapse. This one of the prototype remedy in 'chronic fatigue syndrome'

(or chronic fatigue immune-deficiency syndrome). And even in the (chronic fatigue) it does not cure, many time Kali-p. will do a little bit of good at least. If the cause of the fatigue is mental exertion, it is a first hand remedy to be tried. ANXIETY + fearfulness often a component of Kali-p.

KALI-P. is a most misperceived and misused medicine. The laymen have been prescribing this medicine in decimal potencies for almost all sorts of nervous and mental symptoms with little benefits. Dr. J.T. Kent: described this and other tissue remedies in detail and has advised to explore the curable powers of these medicines if properly understood and prescribed strictly on homoeopathic principles.

I have many times used this medicine in potencies when indicated with desired results.

Kali-p. both acute and chronic remedy. In acute cases it bears repetition and in chronic cases single dose is the rule.

It is chilly; antipsoric and psoro-syphlitic. Thirsty. Polychrest.

Flies into a passion and can hardly articulate. Clarke.

Irresolution: Starts at something, then drops it to try something else; then returns to first task.

"Very much depressed at night; irresolution."

Chilly: < Cold.

Tendency to perspiration, esp. on face and head. After meals or from excitement.

There is one peculiar symptom in Kali-p.: > better at once if they eat, but they fill up very quickly and then feel very uncomfortable. They often crave ice-cold water. (Blackie)

Thirsty.

Sankaran: central feeling is, 'I am not loved by the very family (or group) on whom I depend for support'. These feelings arise in a mother who is looking after children all alone for a long time while the husband is away. She suffers nervous breakdown, i.e., aesthenic reactions. She becomes edgy and startles on least noise.

Another such situation may arise in a businessman who feels that he is not being supported by his partners and has been left to face all the odds alone.
