Potassium dichromate

Kali bichromicum, also known as potassium bichromate or potassium chromate, is a homeopathic remedy derived from the chemical compound potassium chromate (K2CrO4). In homeopathy, it is prepared by diluting and succussing (vigorous shaking) the substance to create a remedy that adheres to the principle of "like cures like." Kali bichromicum is used to treat a variety of conditions, particularly those involving mucus membranes, such as sinusitis, nasal polyps, and chronic catarrhal conditions. It is also employed for symptoms like thick, stringy mucus, ulcerations, and inflammatory conditions of the digestive tract. The remedy is available in various potencies and forms, including pellets, liquids, and ointments. In Hebrew, it is referred to as קאלי ביכרומיקום. In French, it is known as Kali bichromicum, and in German, it is called Kali bichromicum or Kalium bichromicum. The use of Kali bichromicum is based on homeopathic principles and is not supported by conventional medical evidence.

Potassium dichromate
Potassium dichromate is the inorganic compound with the formula K2Cr2O7. An orange solid, it is used in diverse laboratory and industrial applications. As with all hexavalent chromium compounds, it is chronically harmful to health. It is a crystalline ionic solid with a very bright, red-orange color. The salt is popular in laboratories because it is not deliquescent, in contrast to the more industrially relevant salt sodium dichromate.
