The primary miasm for Kali bichrom is Syphilis with Psora providing the base for Syphilis to flourish and Sycosis making inroads in the human systems weakened by the destructive force of Syphilis. These destructive forces when work in tandem are doubly dangerous and give rise to tubercular conditions.
The syphilis manifests itself at the physical plane through direct tissue destruction, while sycosis, although considered responsible for causing overgrowths, is equally destructive as it causes alteration in the basic structure of the tissues. Both these miasm also manifest typical destructive process, at the mental plane too in a Kali Bichrom patient. While syphilis causes condition akin to idiocy, the Sycosis imparts some negative shades to a Kali bichrom patient. From here onwards we will list these destructive manifestations of the two miasms, in the form of rubrics.
(A.) Mental Sphere: Syphilis leads to a state of imbecility, idiocy, and slowness. The
following rubrics of Kali bichrom show the extent to which this destructive process can go:
Absent-minded, unobserving
Concentration difficult, studying, reading, etc., while
Confusion of mind
Night, waking on
Dullness, sluggishness
Difficulty of thinking and comprehending
Sadness, despondency, gloominess
Evening
Slowness
Syphilis also destroys the desire to live. This is manifested as suicidal tendencies and a disregard for life and dwelling upon death. We find the following rubrics in Kali bichrom that show the diminished desire to lie:
Death, desires
Sensation of
Loathing, life, at
Dejection
Weary of life
Sycosis on the other hand destroys the sense of righteousness and makes a person suspicious, indifferent, mischievous, mean, selfish, criminal, and forgetful. We find the following rubrics in Kali bichrom which depict this form of negative degeneration:
Delusion
Crime, about to commit a
Crime, Committed a, he had
Fear/ Dread
Poisoned of being
Indifference, apathy
Business affairs, to
External things, to
Suspicious, mistrustful
Irritability
Forgetful
Memory, weakness of

(B.) Physical sphere:
Like in the mental plane the destruction on the physical plane of a Kali bichrom patient is very much visible in all organs of body. It is to be noted that unlike the Psora, which is visible more on the surface the Syphilitic complaints affect the internal organs more and instead of affecting the skin they tend to establish themselves on the mucus membranes of the internal organs. The internal organs, especially those which are mesodermal in origin, are damaged structurally.
The special affinity of Kali bichrom are the mucus membranes of stomach, bowels, and air-passages; bones and fibrous tissues. Kidneys, heart, and liver are also affected. Mucous membranes everywhere are affected. Cattarrh of pharynx, larynx, bronchi and nose; and a tough, stringy, viscid secretion is produced, which condition is very strong guiding symptom for Kali bichrom. Other organic lesions commonly found in Kali bichrom patients are: Incipient parenchymatous nephritis; perforation of the septum; dilatation of stomach and heart, etc. Some other symptoms of Kali bichrom which depict the destructive forces at work in a Kali bichrom patient are listed below:
-
-
- Head: Semilateral headache in small spots, and from suppressed catarrh.
( The Syphilitic catarrh is suppressed resulting in headaches which are sycotic in nature). Headache over eyebrows, preceded by blurred vision. Aching and fullness in glabella. Frontal pain (sycotic) usually over one eye. Bones and scalp feel sore (syphilitic).
- Eyes: Discharge ropy and yellow (syphilitic/tubercular). Ulcers on cornea.
- Nose: Snuffles of children (syphilitic/sycotic). Septum ulcerated; round ulcer. Loss of smell (all senses like auditory, visual, sense of smell, etc are damaged. Even common sense is not spared-resulting in idiocy!).
- Stomach: Dilatation of stomach (muscle damage!). Gastritis. Round ulcers of stomach. Cannot digest meat (syphilitic)
- Abdomen: Chronic intestinal ulceration. Fatty infiltration of liver and increase in soft fibrous tissue.
- Urinary: Congestion of kidneys; nephritis, with scanty, albuminous urine and casts. Pyelitis. Haematochyluria.
- Skin: Ulcers with punched-out edges, with tendency to penetrate and tenacious exudation.
-
The above illustration clearly shows why Kali bichromicum is known for it’s destructive tendencies.

Kalis anxiety hits stomach and Phos anxiety arises out of stomach,Kali Bich key note is nose root pain sinusitis type old era homeopaths take it as defensive struggle attitude with outside forces as is sensitive to light noise,prone to nephritis and bad digestion esp for starch food,chilly anemic catarrhal desires hot drinks,peculiar rheumatic pains more worse in summer.ropy golden discharges shows kidney weakness and poor parasympathetic control.
