Occurrence: The Earth's crust contains about 2.5%
potassium, bound in such granite, feldspar and mica. Through weathering and leaching ports
potassium in the soil. Sea water contains only 1, 1%
potassium. For plants is
potassium a vital part of metabolism.
Potassium handles "elasticity" of the colloidal protoplasmat.
Potassium deficiency gives a paralysis of eg bladen.Kalium is one of the most important elements of the human cellular metabolism. 96% of the total amount of
potassium is inside the cells.
Sodium,
potassium,
magnesium and
calcium are the so-called tonic elements. Their interaction is responsible for the tension between the extra-and intracellular level.
Potassium and
sodium favors permeability,
calcium and
magnesium inhibits it.
Potassium is also vital for nerve function that control muscle activity and vegetativum. Homeostasis of
potassium and other mineral cations is ensured by neuro-hormonal regulation.
Potassium deficiency leads to reduced muscle tone, blood pressure and paralysis. We see that the
potassium in the human organism is responsible for "resilience". In
homeopathy, a series of
potassium salts. Pharmaceutical picture of
Potassium Carbonicum provides the purest form of the
potassium effect. The other preparations dorrlineras often of the anionic components.
