The repertoire of homeopathic medicines includes mineral salts known as Schüssler's salts. These salts, which bear the name of the German homeopathic doctor, Guillaume Henri Schuessler (1821-1898), are twelve in number. Among these Schüssler salts that have been introduced into homeopathic therapy is Kalium Sulfuricum or Potassium Sulphate or Potassium Sulphate. It is crushed with the powder of this salt, which is the result of a fine grinding. To do this, it is mixed with lactose during the preparation of the remedy.
Depending on the preparation process, Kalium Sulfuricum exists in the form of a decimal trituration (D). Developed according to the Hahnemannian process for the manufacture of homeopathic medicines, it is also available in Hahnemannian Centesimal (CH). In the first case, after crushing, it is diluted ten times, to obtain the first decimal trituration. In the second case, the homeopathic dilution is carried out a hundred times for the first unit. Then each dilution is stirred during the dynamization process which aims to maintain and strengthen the properties of the remedy. In short, Kalium Sulfuricum is a highly energized salt and therefore a homeopathic remedy that is used in the treatment of several pathologies.
