Kali bichromicum

Who hasn’t had a cold once in a while? Rarely a year goes by when we do not have some form of runny nose that usually clears in 1-2 weeks or less. Winter is still in full swing, and cold wind can also make our nose to run. You can get a runny nose because of allergy or being exposed to unclean air. Our nose is our first line of defense, first sign of something that is not good for us, and the nose tries to get rid of it producing mucus and carrying the offender out, be it a foreign substance or a virus. Usually, runny nose is not a big deal, it is just a nuisance that goes away by itself. Sometimes, however, cold, wind or allergen causes inflammation in the sinuses and sinus infection is not something that goes away quickly. Even mild sinus infection can cause a headache, unpleasant pressure in the face and head, difficulty breezing and makes the voice sound like you speak through a vase. Sinusitis experience is usually unpleasant but as always, there is help in our homeopathic remedies box. A remedy that can provide great relief for sinus infections is lovingly called Kali bic. “If it’s thick, try Kali-bic!” most students are taught in homeopathy schools.

Kali bichromicum

can help with sinusinfections with characteristic nasal discharges. Nasal discharge is yellow, stringy
and thick. The voice has strong nasal quality and there is pain, pressure and fullness at the root of the nose. The remedy can also be used for hoarseness, laryngitis and pains that are felt in one small spot.

For acute sinusitis (happened recently) a good potency to use is 30C. For chronic sinusitis or if you have tried 3-7 doses of the remedy and did not get relief for your symptoms, call your homeopathic practitioner for advice and suggestions for another remedy.

Breeze well!
