The people of the Kalium Carbonicum type look pale, exhausted and ill. They complain of weakness, fatigue and profound sweating, often resulting from chronic anemia.

Their two most characteristic features are swollen, overhanging upper eyelids, and pricking pains in the right chest, radiating into the back. Often, they have highly sensitive soles (like the people of the type of Sulphur).

Kalium Carbonicum is used in the treatment of anemia and myeloproliferative disorders, and coronary heart diseases.
