Kali Carbonicum / Kali Carb / Kali-c

Formal Name: Kalium Carbonicum

Also Known As: Kali Carb, Potassium Carbonate, Potash, Salt of Tartar, Pearl Ash

Potassium happens to be a very widely used compound that has a multitude of different uses. It is also present in the body in order to have a healthy nervous system as well as proper muscle function.

Potassium also plays a part in fluid balance and heart, kidney and adrenal functions.

Because of potassium’s importance in mainstream medicine, it was looked at for its benefits within homeopathy and validated for its own distinct uses.

Within homeopathy, potassium quickly evolved into the homeopathic remedy kali carb and it has many fantastic uses.

Kali carb is made by taking the mineral compound potassium carbonate which is triturated by being ground repeatedly with lactose sugar until it is water soluble. This compound is diluted and succussed, and what remains is the homeopathic remedy called kali carb that has virtually no traces of the mineral itself.
