Fields of application of Schüssler Salt No. 13
As an alternative medicine, potassium arsenicosum is only sold without an official indication for use. However, there are proven areas of application for this salt. Potassium arsenicosum is frequently used for skin diseases and problems that occur in connection with hormone fluctuations or that are apparently unaffected.
These may include acne, flaky skin or cornification disorders such as psoriasis. Inflammations of the mucous membrane, such as the stomach or intestinal mucosa, can also respond positively to treatment with potassium arsenicosum. The same applies to the conjunctiva of the eye.
Since the glands of the skin can also be influenced by this Schüssler salt, an application can also provide relief in cases of excessive sweating. Another large field of application is disorders of the sex hormones. Since women have a much more complex hormone cycle than men, Potassium arsenicosum is usually used more often in women with such disorders.
The salt is used, for example, for irregular menstrual cycles, unfulfilled desire for children or the menopause. Both sexes can benefit from Potassium arsenicosum in depression and the sleep disorders and listlessness that often accompany it. In these cases, however, it must never replace a medication prescribed by a doctor, but can supplement conventional medical therapy.
Potassium arsenicosum is often used to treat psychological symptoms. Particularly often depressive episodes or upset, exhaustion and sleep disorders are treated with this Schüssler salt. In such cases, Potassium arsenicosum can have a stimulating effect on the psyche of the person concerned.
Whether this salt is the right remedy, however, must always be decided in connection with other physical symptoms and external characteristics, since in the teachings of Dr. Schüssler the human being must always be viewed holistically. One indication that potassium arsenicosum is the right remedy is the connection of mental suffering with hormonal disorders. For example, if the depressive episodes are caused by hormonal fluctuations or are dependent on the menstrual cycle, taking Schüssler Salt No. 13 can help.
