Therapeutic recommendations

  • Stimulate the patient’s life forces and a feeling of lightness with “L”
    “L” stimulates the flowing vital forces and brings an experience of lightness. It also has a strong creative power in the contrasting area of the form principle. You can start with the “L” in the periphery and steadily reduce the size of it – moving over and around the abdomen – towards the center.

  • Stimulate warmth generation with “M”
    “M” is the sound which, like humming, holds a penetrating force in the human being and stimulates the generation of warmth in the direction in which it is carried out. “M” can be moved in all directions – around, on, and also with the belly.

  • The sound movements “B” and “G”
    “B” and “G” , as contrasting movements, create densification and widening of movement to release congestion.

  • “B” and “A” stimulate fluid-regulating kidney activity.

  •  “D” has a penetrating and shaping effect and strengthens digestion.

  • The sound sequence “L – M – S – U – B – E – R”
    The sounds “L – M – S – U – B – E – R”, when they are worked into the feet of a patient lying down, also have a releasing character, which causes movement right into the abdominal cavity through deepened breathing.

Research news

Phase IV trial: Kalium phosphoricum comp. versus placebo in irritability and nervousness 
In a new clinical study, Kalium phosphoricum comp. (KPC) versus placebo was tested in 77 patients per group. In a post-hoc analysis of intra-individual differences after 6 weeks treatment, a significant advantage of KPC vs. placebo was shown for characteristic symptoms of nervous exhaustion and nervousness (p = 0.020, p = 0.045 respectively). In both groups six adverse events (AE) were assessed as causally related to treatment (severity mild or moderate). No AE resulted in discontinuation in treatment. KPC could therefore be a beneficial treatment option for symptomatic relief of neurasthenia. The study has been published open access in Current Medical Research and Opinion
