We are almost at the end of my series on the Schuessler cell salts and this week I would like to introduce you to Kali sulph. This cell salt personally helped me a great deal during my pregnancy, but let me not get ahead of myself.
First, a few basics about Kalium sulphuricum:
I most often think of Kali sulph when someone tells me they feel as if they are in a tight, stuffy, enclosed space – for example a classroom, a hospital room or a small, cramped office.
Whenever there is a strong craving for cool, fresh air, whether because you are ill (e.g. asthma) or due to environmental factors, Kali sulph helps with the transfer of oxygen from the lungs into the blood and on to the body’s cells, making breathing easier.
Kali sulph can even save marriages from breaking up! There are many couples where the man prefers to sleep in a closed, warm room, while the woman longs for fresh air and an open window (and in her sleep always turns to face the window).
Kali sulph could be their salvation and is cheaper than two separate bedrooms, don’t you think?
Depending on the severity of the symptoms, Kali sulph D6 can be taken hourly. When the sensation of being stuffy and confined also fits the person in general – as opposed to acute symptoms that are, for example, temporarily triggered by environmental factors – I would recommend taking the remedy twice daily.
Now I’d like to write about my own experiences with Kali sulph. When I was pregnant with my third son, I was literally carrying a lot. This particular son was a real chunk and weighed a full ten pounds at birth!
I'm not a particularly tall person; on a good day (and standing on tiptoe) I can only manage about 1.53 m. And when you squeeze a big baby in there… well, to cut a long story short: my internal organs had very little room and in particular my lungs felt compressed. I had trouble breathing.
My solution? I often lay on the floor at home, right in front of the sliding glass doors which I had opened a crack, and breathed in the cool, fresh winter air.
It never occurred to me that my homeopathic remedies might be a better answer to this problem. I just accepted it, after all I was small and my baby was rather large.
That brings us to the heart of the matter: sometimes we are so involved in something that we don't really understand what is happening with our bodies and therefore cannot properly assess the situation. This happens to each of us; I am no exception.
In my case you can't automatically say that the large baby was the cause of my craving for fresh, cool air, but it’s a fair assumption. I was simply too close to judge the situation properly.
When it finally became clear to me what was going on, I took Kali sulph D6 as needed. I still enjoyed the cool, fresh winter air, but Kali sulph took away the feeling of not getting enough oxygen.
(And don't worry: like any wise mother I regularly remind my son of what I went through when I was pregnant with him. It's always good to have the upper hand!)
I warmly recommend the Schuessler cell salts for your home medicine cabinet. You never know when you might need them! In my series on the Schuessler cell salts you can read up on their uses at any time. Here are the relevant links:
And as always: spread the word!
