On the sixth day of cells salts, Dr. Schüssler gave to us… Kali phosporicum.
Kali phos is concentrated in the brain and nerves. It is known for its bright yellow discharges, as well as putridity.
Kali phos is the cell salt for nerves and nervous conditions. For oversensitivity: mental, physical, emotional. For fatigue. Kali phos is a nerve nutrient which can help calm the entire system.

These cell salt posts are so helpful. Concise without being too brief. Thank you.
I just read that Kali phos can be helpful for adrenal fatigue, many of whose symptoms are listed here. I'm looking forward to adding it to my homeopathic toolbox.
