The potency D12 is often used for this salt, but D6 or D3 are sometimes recommended for use. The potency D3 is said to work particularly well on muscle fibers. The 6th potency should best be used on the mucous membranes and the 12th potency is used for concentration problems. Taking up to eight tablets is recommended, especially for the treatment of mental or neurological symptoms. In the case of dementia symptoms, three tablets a day are usually sufficient. If a type of incontinence or bladder weakness is being treated, the recommended daily dose is also three tablets per day. For external use, the potencies D6 and D12 can be used.

To try it out, it is then advisable to start with three to four globules per day and adjust the dose after a few days if necessary.
Anoint

With this Schüssler salt, the external application is even the most common form of application. Areas of application for this are particularly small, bleeding wounds or cracks in the skin that are caused by dryness and tend to crust.

How often and how exactly the ointment should then be used must be discussed with the treating naturopath.
In addition, there are also so-called alum sticks, which can provide quick relief for small but bleeding wounds such as from shaving. In addition, the external application can help with heavy perspiration: For this, the ointment or the pen can simply be applied to the appropriate areas.
