Kali Bichromicum 421 In women patients of Kali Bichrome, the uterus related ailments aggravate during the summer. The menstrual discharge becomes acidic and causes burning. Periods start before time. Kali Bichrome should be remembered to treat the passage of thread-like strands in the milk while breast-feeding. If the milk tends to clot , then Phytolacca would be the best remedy, which is also useful in the treatment of vomiting during pregnancy. Kali Bichrome is very useful in the treatment of permanent loss of voice. Kali Bichrome is very effective in relieving wheezing due to the retention of sticky phlegm and constriction of the trachea and upper respiratory passages, commonly seen in asthma. Kali Bichrome is also useful in the treatment of whooping cough. The catarrhal complaints of Kali Bichrome become worse in the wet, wintery season. The patient develops diarrhoea in the summer during the rainy season. He feels comfort lying down in the bed. The phlegm is greenish in colour and contains blood clots. Both Kali Bichrome and Kali Carb are very useful in the treatment of tuberculosis of the lungs. Potassium salts are very deeply related to the formation of cavities in the lungs and coughing of blood in the sputum. In Kali Bichrome, like Kali Carb and Ipecac, there is a feeling of chill over the back. In Kali Carb, this feeling is confined only to the lower part of the back, while in Ipecac and Kali Bichrome it stretches all the way up to the neck. The rheumatic pains aggravate on movement, like in Bryonia. The pain is worse in the morning. On getting up and walking, the pain gradually dissipates. Rest at night offers relief, though by morning, the pain becomes concentrated in one area from where it then scatters on movement. All sorts of skin diseases may be found in Kali Bichrome, such as eczema, blisters and boils. If skin conditions are forcibly suppressed with some strong ointments they may affect the mucous linings of the intestines. Therefore, in a patient exhibiting symptoms of Kali Bichrome, one should desist from external use of medicines. Antidotes: Arsenic, Lachesis, Pulsatilla Potency: 30 to 200.
