Kalium Bichromicum is a homeopathic remedy extracted from potassium dichromate. Allergic reactions have been observed in people who regularly handle products containing potassium dichromate, such as paint or cement. However, thanks to a homeopathic process that consists of diluting and energizing the chemical strain, the Kalium Bichromicum obtained from potassium dichromate is completely devoid of any toxicity. This homeopathic medicine is generally indicated in the treatment of ulcerative lesions on different parts of the body. However, its field of action is very varied since Kalium Bichromicum is also indicated in the treatment of several other pathologies.
Gastroenterology
Kalium Bichromicum is used in the treatment of inflammation of the stomach lining, not only for a background treatment but also as a preventive measure. This homeopathic medicine also treats peptic ulcers as well as certain digestive disorders such as dyspepsia. In addition, its scope of action extends to the treatment of oral aphthoses that hinder the digestion process.
Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
The homeopathic doctor prescribes Kalium Bichromicum to treat mucopurulent nasal discharge that is yellow or greenish-yellow in color, causing coughing fits. Patients suffering from this pathology have thick rhinorrhea, adhering to the mucous membranes and accompanied by some traces of blood. By decongesting the sinus, Kalium Bichromicum treats, at the same time, maxillary or frontal sinusitis.
In ENT, Kalium Bichromicum is also used to treat inflammation of the uvula in order to prevent a throat infection. Its field of action therefore extends to the treatment of oral infections such as ulcerated canker sores, which are deep and accompanied by foul, thick and viscous saliva.
The use of Kalium Bichromicum is recommended to treat ear infections accompanied by pain that is concentrated in the back of the external ear canal. These ear infections are also manifested by the appearance of viscous and very thick secretions in the ears.
Gynecology
Kalium Bichromicum is used in gynecology for the treatment of greenish-colored purulent discharge coming out of the vulva. These discharges, called leucorrhoea, are thick and are caused by a fungal, parasitic or microbial infection.
The healing properties of Kalium Bichromicum also make it possible to treat ulcerations of the cervix, which are most often accompanied by yellowish discharge causing some irritation to the vaginal walls.
Dermatology
Kalium Bichromicum treats different types of eczema, especially eczema caused by regular contact with cement. This homeopathic remedy is also indicated in the treatment of skin conditions due to streptococci, such as impetigos. In addition, the healing properties of Kalium Bichromicum treat varicose ulcers as well as punchy ulcerations in the mucous membranes and/or skin.
This remedy heals skin lesions on the back of the hands, palms, flexion folds, and forearms. These lesions are usually oozing and crusty or sometimes dry and fissured.
Rheumatology
The analgesic properties of Kalium Bichromicum act effectively in the treatment of several types of rheumatic pain, such as elbow pain, which is a pathology better known as "tennis-elbow", or pain related to tendonitis. This remedy is also recommended to soothe sciatic pain and lumbago, especially if these pains are concentrated on the left side of the pelvis. Finally, Kalium Bichromicum treats bone pain, particularly in the heel spur and heel.
Kalium Bichromicum is one of the analgesics indicated to treat headaches, whether localized such as migraines or generalized such as headaches. This remedy also treats localized, erratic, sudden onset and end pain, whether joint or not.

Dosage in case of gynaecological pathologies
To treat leucorrhoea caused by a vulvar infection, it is recommended to take 5 granules of Kalium Bichromicum twice a day.
