QUESTION OF THE DAY: Hi, I suffer with a lung condition which causes excessive mucus production. I have read that Kali mur (6X) (HPUS), Kali sulph (6X) (HPUS), Kali bich (6C)(HPUS) could help in reducing mucus production. Could you advise if this is correct? Also is this remedy safe during pregnancy? I am currently pregnant and keen to avoid antibiotics for the time being so need to reduce the amount of mucus produced. Thanks in advance, breathing Momma. ANSWER: Hi happy Momma! First and foremost, ALL homeopathic remedies in every potency are completely safe, during pregnancy. This might have something to do with why so many pregnant women turn to homeopathy for help for the first time during childrearing--the beauty and care of your wee ones is enough to propel almost anyone to seek better, safer, health care free of side effects. Second, yes, you are correct that all Kali remedies are frequently prescribed for catarrhal or excessive mucus conditons. There are three things to consider: 1) DOSE: Homeopathic remedies are prepared in strength and sold by a system of Roman Numerals (just like at the end of the movies.) So the higher the Roman Numeral, the stronger the remedy. X is for ten, C is for One Hundred, M is for One thousand. An X remedy will relieve the same symptoms as a C, M, or LM but the relief will not be as deep or long lasting as the higher roman numerals. I suggest if you are buying remedies at the store you always go for the highest roman numeral available in that remedy. Of course I have in my pharmacy all these remedies in much higher potency, which produces more dramatic healing. This is one reason to seek the professional care of a homeopath. 2) SELECTION: While Kali remedies have been proven in thousands of cases to heal mucosal conditions, one of the founding principals of Homeopathy states that we treat the PATIENT, not, the disease. What this means is that if I were to treat you, I would take a totality of your symptoms from head to toe, including emotional and things that you crave and make you better or worse, and THEN select the remedy that most closely matches the portrait of YOU. This may or may not be a Kali remedy. There are many other remedies which may also be your remedy. For at home selection, I reccomend the book Homeopathic Medicine at Home by Panos and Heimlich. It has a brief repertory and materia medica in the back which will deepen your understanding of how to select remedies and use them for common home complaints. 3) ONE MEDICINE at a time: While nothing bad will happen if you take ALL of the remedies you listed, we will also never know which one helped you. According to Homeopathic prinicipal, it is best to take only one remedy at a time. In this way we learn more about your true nature and what will bring healing on a deeper level. However, if you are in a more dire situation combo remedies can be uses. Combination remedies are NOT made in accordance with Classical Principals but are designed by placing the top remedies PROVEN to work for that condition in one bottle. Since homeopathic remedies are harmless, the ones you dont need, do nothing, and the one you do, is most likeley in the remedy. Another thing to consider is your family history. If your family has a history of suffering from Asthma, or skin conditions, it is most likely you will need deeper care from a qualified Homeopath to permanently alleviate your symptoms. I hope this helps and please keep us posted on your progress! Sincerely, Dedra amazon/Homeopathic-Medicine-Home-Maesimund-Panos/dp/0874771951
