Kali muriaticum, one of Schussler's salts, twelve tissue preparations used by Schussler in his system. No trials have been conducted with this drug. The symptoms given in the repertory are taken from clinical cases and from descriptions given by Schussler. However, the overall picture of the remedy is not very reliable and focuses mainly on pathology.
In addition, it should be noted that the picture of Kali-mur is often confused with Kali chloratum, since these medicines are very similar, although they differ in many ways. Kali muriaticum is one of the few remedies that I have always been extremely surprised to discover. It can be considered as one of the "big" medicines in homeopathy. Somehow it overlaps with a lot of the big drugs like Nat-m and Kali-c.
Therefore, I do not understand why Kali-m has not yet found such widespread use in homeopathic practice. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the picture of this medicine is not well studied, or we are simply not accustomed to it yet. In the meantime, Kali-m is rather a minor medicine, but in this case it is necessary to explain the fact that there are quite significant differences between Nat-m Kali-m.
Kali- Duty, obligation. Closedness. Optimism. Work, tasks. Family
Muriaticum- Self-pity. Care. Upbringing. Mother. Attention. Self-absorption
Group analysis
Group analysis reveals the main theme of the remedy: the responsibility to be a good mother and take care of one's family. The situation can develop in a family where the eldest daughter must help her parents from an early age in raising younger brothers and sisters, becoming a second mother for them. A variation on this theme can be the opposite: if it is my responsibility, I must take care of it in the best possible way.
This is the situation in many third world countries. Children there are considered as a help to elders. It is believed that it is necessary to have a large number of children; this even develops into an obligation. The responsibility to raise and educate children later transforms into the belief that when they are barely grown up, children will have to provide for themselves. Another variation of this remedy is when the patient's mother is very obliging and diligent.
She perceives the need to take care of children as a duty, which she performs selflessly, with complete dedication. She lets the children play while she does all the chores herself. It is also possible that the mother believes that the children are obliged to help around the house; everyone is given certain commands, which everyone must carry out without delay.
Happening
A 55-year-old woman presented with complaints of insomnia. She wakes up at 3 am and can't go back to sleep. She has to get up to drink a glass of warm milk, after which after half an hour or an hour she falls asleep again. Sometimes she wakes up again between 5 and 6 am. Insomnia began after the birth of my sixth child. The patient took birth control pills for some time because she did not want to have any more children. They caused her depression and frequent tears. For this reason she was prescribed Valium. Sleep disturbances intensified after problems arose with my eldest son. He broke off all relations with her and her husband.
My son had homosexual problems and even underwent psychiatric treatment for this. He often blamed his parents for making a mistake in raising him, although he never specified what exactly. Due to lack of sleep, the patient feels tired and exhausted throughout the day.
Another complaint is sciatica. I'm worried about nagging pain starting in the left buttock and radiating to the back of the thigh, tibia and big toe. The pain increases with exertion, standing, walking slowly or shopping, and decreases with walking, cycling and sitting with a straight back. Lying down and warming also relieve pain; cold makes it worse.
The pain began in 1984, after carrying heavy weights. Sciatica and insomnia reinforce each other, the patient often wakes up from pain, and the pain, in turn, worsens with insufficient sleep. Hot flashes are also a concern. Pain in the stomach, worse from coffee. Nausea, worse from chocolate. Sometimes there is a cough that lasts a long time, worse at night, worse when talking. Accompanied by tickling in the trachea on the left.
The trachea is painful, rough, like a steel throat. A small amount of sputum is coughed up, either clear or greenish, with a dense consistency. At this time, the urge to vomit sometimes occurs.
History: In 1980, she underwent a hysterectomy due to frequent uterine bleeding and anemia. Pregnancies were never truly desired. The first three months I always felt very bad. During pregnancy, renal colic occurred 3 times due to kidney stone disease. Milk came only for a short period, cracks and abrasions on the nipples were very bothering.
General characteristics:
Temperature: chilly. Worse in a draft, pain occurs behind the sternum. Doesn't like cloudy weather. Better from fresh air (2). Loves sea air very much (2). Worse from heat (2), legs seem to swell.
Time: worse at 3 am and 5 am.
Cravings: potatoes, sauce, meat, vegetables, chocolate, grilled meat.
Disgusts: sweet drinks, sour berries, apples.
Psyche: Problems arose with some of the children. Although the patient loves children and does everything possible for them, she always felt that there were too many of them. That's why she never wanted to get pregnant. She feels like she's actually a bad mother. She always performed her duties, but with difficulty and without much warmth. I was always afraid that I behaved incorrectly when children cried. As already mentioned, the eldest son does not want to see either his mother or his father, and she has always wondered what her mistake was. One of the daughters also believes that she was not a good enough mother. This upsets the patient and she cries talking about it. These words constantly haunt her. The woman realizes that she did everything she could, but immediately adds: “You can’t jump over your head.”
The patient is a correct person who respects the laws. She never dared to contradict the laws of the church, although she often experienced such desires. I dream of a party where there are a lot of people. She makes coffee, tea, etc. The guests stay overnight, she makes their beds. Everything seems very difficult, she is having a hard time coping with it all. In another dream, a woman forgets about her children and does not see them for 3 months. The patient is quite smart, can do a lot with her hands, and gets irritated if others cannot do the same. She can be very indecisive, often unable to form her own opinion.
When it is finally decided, the choice most often turns out to be the wrong one. Although in her youth she was always cunning, she believed that she knew about everything better than others. Aging terrifies her: “Another 30 years of idleness.” The patient becomes nervous when she does not know what is going to happen. Marriage: Family life is going well. The husband is caring and understanding, sometimes even too much. He never expresses irritation and gets upset if she demonstrates her irritability. In the past she was never attracted to sexual contact, she found it too tiring, but now she is a little better about it.
Childhood: After the death of his mother, his father was left with six children. He remarried the younger sister of his former wife, and they had six more children. The patient was the third of children from his new wife. Her mother did not show much warmth or tenderness and very rarely caressed her. But overall the care and education were quite good and modern. The girl often had to help around the house. Even when she sewed her wedding dress, she still had to work for her mother.
The central issue of the case is the problems surrounding motherhood. The patient considers it her responsibility to be a good mother. Although it is unnatural for her, she tries her best to be a good mother. It is unbearable for her when someone accuses her of not performing this role well enough. It is in these situations that all complaints arise. In this case, the theme of responsibility is obvious, which makes us think first of all about potassium salts.
Characteristic signs are insomnia, worsening at 3 am, worsening in a draft, sciatica. I have given the patient various potassium preparations, such as Kali-s and Kali-br, with only varying success. The complaints returned again, the mental symptoms did not change. After a few more prescriptions, I realized that I needed to take a different look at potassium compounds. One way or another, they brought improvement, albeit temporary. But which potassium compound should you choose? At that time, I became more aware of the relationship between the theme of motherhood and Muriaticum.
In addition, there are some minor indications of Muriaticum: improvement at sea, from lying on the left side, self-pity. Reaction After taking Kali-m 1M for 2 weeks, nothing changed. Then the improvement began. After 3 months, insomnia decreased by 80%. The patient felt better and became more cheerful. I was able to forget some of my problems and look more cheerfully into the future.
Painting of Kali muriaticum
Main idea: responsibility to be a good mother.
Psyche: They feel it is their responsibility to be good mothers and provide their children with maximum care and attention.
They carry out this task with enviable persistence and can easily manage 10 children. Strictly established rules govern their lives. Often in such a situation, the eldest daughter has to take on part of the housework, becoming a second mother for the younger ones. The mother happily shifts some of the worries onto her daughter’s shoulders, because “that’s how it should be.” Such patients develop a strong sense of responsibility, so they often set too strict rules and restrictions for themselves.
Rules are necessary to keep everything under control, but the price for this is warmth and real close communication with children who see a mother who is distant and withdrawn from them.
The opposite situation is also possible, when this type corresponds to a woman who was forced to do housework from an early age and who considers this terribly unfair. When she herself becomes a mother, she tries to let her children do nothing for a long time, enjoying a happy childhood. She herself works from morning to night, just to protect her children from homework.
General characteristics:
Localization: left side.
Temperature: chilly, worse from draft.
Time: worse at 3 am (3). Cravings: starch.
Menstruation: before menstruation, breasts become swollen and painful (3).
Sleep: insomnia, wakes up around 3 o'clock.

Kali muriaticum(Kali muriaticum) - potassium chloride - KS1.
(Not to be confused with potassium chlorate KC1O).
CHARACTERISTIC
We owe the introduction of this medicine into homeopathy to Schiissler. He wrote about
Kali muriaticum is as follows: “It is found in almost all cells and
chemically bound to fibrin. It dissolves white and grayish-white secretion
mucous membranes and plastic exudate.” This is where the indications for use come from:
Kali muriaticum for catarrh, lobar and diphtheritic exudates and
the second stage of inflammation of the serous membranes, in the presence of plastic
exudate. “When epidermal cells due to pathological
irritation lose molecules of Kali muriaticum, their surface becomes covered
a whitish or whitish-gray mass of fibrin, which, when dried,
a powdery coating forms.
If the lesion occurs in the tissues under the epidermis, leaking
fibrin and serum cause damage in the area of the epidermis that
rises in the form of a bubble. A similar process occurs under
epithelial cells." In practice, this is the main indication
for the purpose of Kali muriaticum.
It has been widely used by homeopaths for this purpose, but I have not heard of
it has ever been tested. Boericke and Dewey in their fundamental
work on tissue medicines is given a diagram of “leading symptoms”, but it
mostly consists of names of pathological conditions, however
contains valuable instructions, and I owe much to these authors for finding
reflected in my diagram. To specially highlighted conditions and symptoms
refers to chronic catarrhal inflammation of the middle ear; obstruction
eustachian tubes; crackling and ringing in the ears. Grayish-white dryish or
mucus-coated tongue. Hemorrhoids bleeding with dark blood, with
fibrous clumps. Diphtheria. Rheumatic attack with exudation and
swelling of the joints.
Kali muriaticum is said to cure cataracts after Calcarea
fluorica had its effect. With its help I cured rheumatism, with
in which the left shoulder and elbow were most affected, with worsening
in the morning when getting up. In Kali muriaticum the action of both its constituents
elements manifests itself equally. It is very similar to Kali chloricum, and
it is likely that the results of the latter test will be applicable to
both drugs, according to Hering.
Among the symptoms of Kali chloricum are: “Tendency towards flushing of blood towards
both eyes”, “flares in front of both eyes when coughing and sneezing”.
Boericke and Dewey point out: “Eyes appear bulging; white tongue,
covered with film; strong, rough and barking cough."
Hering states: "The cough is stomachic, noisy, with protruding eyes."
One of the key symptoms of Kali muriaticum is the color white - white
color of secretion, exudate and formations in tissues. The next one is
viscosity: fibrinous exudate and secretions, blood clots too much
quickly - hence embolism, compaction and dense swelling.

"Lesions of the mucous membranes with thick, viscous, sticky mucus, which may be expelled in long threads." With no other remedy is this sign as noticeable as with kali bichromicum. Comes close to him hydrastis, and may also be suitable lissin (Lyssin) when the mouth or pharynx is affected; iris versicolor similar.
But kali bichromicum causes and cures this kind of discharge when the nose, mouth, pharynx, pharynx, larynx, windpipe (trachea), bronchi, vagina and uterus are affected. And the effect of this remedy is not limited to this; it reaches the formation of viscous films on all these mucous membranes. Then, it causes and heals ulcerations on the mucous membranes. The peculiarity of these ulcers is that they are “deep, as if cut with a chisel, with regular edges.” And I remember several years ago I had one case where such ulcers existed in a woman’s throat. Food entered the posterior nasal openings through the soft palate, and it seemed that this entire soft palate, if prompt measures were not taken, would be destroyed by an ulcerative process. The case seemed syphilitic to me and had already been used for a long time by two doctors of the old school. I gave kali bichromicum 30, and to say that I was amazed at the result (as it was at the beginning of my practice), is to put it mildly, because the ulcers healed so quickly - accordingly, the general condition, which was very bad, improved - that already after For three weeks the patient was apparently healthy, and her suffering has not returned for years, as long as I have known her. I forgot to point out that she also had this viscous discharge, although not as copious as we often see in other cases.
I once also cured a Great Dane who had ulcers in his mouth and throat, and saliva flowed in threads, and he wandered around the yard, as if staggering. Everyone who saw the dog considered it rabid, but I did not share this opinion, since it did not rush at anyone, did not bite, and there were no noticeable suffocating spasms.
Kali bichromicum- one of our salvation anchors in the treatment of diseases of the nasal mucous membranes. And this is not only with acute inflammation, in which the aforementioned fibrous-stringy discharge occurs, but also with the so-called chronic catarrh. In these cases, the patient often complains of strong pressure at the root of the nose, and especially if the discharge that was usual suddenly stops. In the nose, mucus dries into crusts, which, when removed, form again. Sometimes the discharge is thick and green or crusty. Such a chronic inflammatory process can get worse and worse, and even reach the formation of ulcerations that can perforate the entire nasal septum. Such ulceration may also be of a syphilitic nature. In these syphilitic cases, when the destructive process also affects the bones, kali bichromicum may still be useful, although I think you need to contact aurum metallicum or another deeper acting remedy.
Likewise, I have found it to be a good remedy in those distressing cases of chronic retronasal catarrh, where there is a viscous discharge from the posterior nasal openings, or crusts and plugs form in the nose.
The formation of films in the throat with it is a reliable fact as with no other remedy, and when such a film spreads further down to the larynx, causing membranous croup, then no other remedy, in my opinion, is superior here kali bichromicum. I have cured many cases of diphtheritic croup with it, and in recent years I have never given the remedy below the 30th division, since I have repeatedly been convinced that in this division it works better than in lower rubbings.
Kali bichromicum used in the treatment of stomach pain. Vomit is often a viscous mass and, as in the nose, mouth and throat, there may be “round sores”. But before it comes to actual ulceration, we have a form of dyspepsia in which this remedy is very useful. It often occurs in drunkards, especially those who drink beer. Here you feel a strong heaviness in the stomach, fullness, anxiety immediately after eating, similar nux moshata, but not the same as with nux vomike, where all this happens two or three hours after eating, or as when anacardium, in which the pain also appears after 2-3 hours and continues until the patient won’t eat anything again, after which it becomes easier again.
The condition of the tongue during these gastric sufferings can be of two kinds: it is either yellow-coated at the root ( mercurium iodatum And sodium phosphoricum), or dry, smooth, shiny, or red, cracked. The latter type of tongue occurs most often in dysentery, where kali bichromicum sometimes provides good service.
There is also another type of discharge from the mucous membranes, which I did not mention, this is “jelly-like mucus.” This may be nasal discharge, from the posterior nasal openings, vagina, or anus. It is especially common in dysentery. Of course, vaginal (leukorrheal) discharge, viscous or jelly-like, will be suitable for this remedy, which has given very good results in many cases. Exactly the same for lesions of the respiratory organs due to coughs, croup, bronchitis, asthma and even consumption. Apparently, chromic acid in this potassium compound has a similar relationship to the viscosity of mucus, since no other potassium salt represents it to such a degree.
A few more instructions regarding this remedy that should not be omitted. There are special types of pain. They are in small areas, which can be covered by the end of the finger. This happens with headaches. This often happens with migraines. Farrington says: "There are many remedies for blinding headaches, but kali bichromicum"The blindness appears before the headache, and then, when it begins, the blindness passes. Then this pain appears small spots, very strong. Then, the pain kali bichromicum appear and disappear suddenly. This reminds belladonna. Then they fly from place to place, as if pulsatille. There are five remedies which have noticeably wandering or wandering pains: kali bichromicum, kali sulfuricum, pulsatilla, caninum varnish And manganum aceticum. At kali bichromicum the pain does not stay in one place for as long as with pulsatille, and there is no such disposition to swelling. Kali sulfuricum most similar to Pulsatilla in all pain symptoms. Pain manganuma jump from joint to joint crosswise, and when caninum varnish move from one side to the other - one day is worse on one side, another on the other, etc. Then, even with kali bichromicumum alternate symptoms; for example, symptoms of rheumatism alternate with symptoms of dysentery (as well as abrotanum). At platinum lumbar symptoms alternate with general mental and physical symptoms.
Kali bichromicum especially suitable for fat, light-brown faces or for children prone to catarrhal, croupous, scrofulous or syphilitic lesions. Dr. Drysdale deserves great credit from the profession for introducing this truly important remedy.
Kali muriaticum (Kali muriaticum)
This is one of the so-called biochemical remedies, or one of those twelve remedies that, according to Schüssler, can cure all sorts of diseases of the body. It has not been tested enough to know even half of its real value. Its clinical use in divisions from 3 to 30 has shown that this remedy has an undoubted significant price. It is used in the second stage of inflammation or in the stage of interstitial (interstitial) effusion in any part of the body, and, as far as is known, its purpose is not associated with the danger that is inherent kali iodatum, at least it was prescribed in massive doses as a last resort. I have seen how, under the influence of this remedy, joints swollen after acute rheumatism quickly returned to their natural size, although the lesion had stubbornly resisted other remedies for a long time. But I don’t know of any characteristic symptoms based on which one could give it preference over other remedies. It is also a remedy for inflammation of the tonsils (tonsillitis), after the acute inflammatory symptoms have been eliminated aconite, belladonna or ferrum phosphoricum. I have found it very effective in cases of deafness due to inflammation and blockage of the Eustachian tube. At first I gave divisions 3 to 6, but got better results from 24. Many cases of chronic obstinate deafness can be cured by this remedy, if given early enough. By the way, we can also mention here mercurius dulcis as another remedy against these sufferings of the Eustachian tube. Of course, when choosing between these two remedies, other mercurial symptoms should be kept in mind here.
