SBL Kali sulphuricum

Common Names: Kali Sulpha, Potassium Sulphate, Kali Sulph, Kalium Sulphurica

Overview

Kali Sulphuricum is a homeopathic remedy made from potassium sulfate, a key substance that helps transfer oxygen within the body, particularly to the skin, mucus membranes, and respiratory systems. It aids in the regeneration of the epithelium, especially when oxygen supply is insufficient. It is commonly used for respiratory, skin, and digestive conditions, particularly when there is yellow mucous discharge and during the later stages of inflammation.
