For those of you out there who are experiencing some stress, or are feeling down, especially after the holidays, I have an alternative medicine that might give you some relief. My remedy of choice for this blog is Kali Phosphoricum.

This homeopathic cure is a naturally occurring nutrient found in fluids and tissues of our nerve and brain cells. Formed by combining potassium with phosphoric acid, it becomes a salt that helps to support and fortify the central nervous system.   Kali Phosphoricum is a very effective remedy for depression, as well as mental and physical stress. The personality type most likely to feel relief  by using this type of treatment is a workaholic, who is easily overwhelmed and stressed, has trouble sleeping, is filled with anxiety, and experiences nightmares, headaches and forgetfulness.  This type of individual is very much affected by cold, and is apt to feel worse in cold air.

Are you the Kali Phosphoricum personality type?  Take this short questionnaire, If three or more statements apply to you, Phosphoricum may be the right remedy.

•        Prefer to be by yourself most of the time.                      
•        Concentration at work is tough for you.                              
•        Noise and light really bother you.                                     
•        Nervousness gives you diarrhea.                                        
•        Back pain is felt along your spinal column.                         
•        You feel cold and heaviness in your arms and legs.             
•        The smallest amount of exertion makes you sweat.             

After taking the questionnaire,  if you are unsure whether or not to take this remedy,  a homeopathic practitioner would be able to determine if Kali Phosphoricum will be beneficial  for you, he/she needs to find out whether your symptoms are affected by the following conditions.

     You feel Better                                      

• After a light exercise routine.
• When you are warm.                           
• After a meal                                              
• After resting.    

    You feel Worse                                         

• In stressful situations.
• When you are cold.
• Early in the morning.
• When you exert yourself mentally.

Kali Phosphoricum is not usually prescribed in the U.S., but it can be ordered specially from homeopathic pharmacies, or online.
