According to this teaching, a deficiency of potassium iodatum can occur especially in people who have an excessive sense of duty and thus appear cramped and stiff. Because of the feeling of wanting to please everyone and at the same time not meeting their own high, self-imposed standards, such people are quickly frustrated and have depressive tendencies. It is not uncommon for them to cry quickly. Moodiness and aggression can also express themselves.
A dose of potassium jodatum can then replenish the body's own stores of this salt and alleviate the suffering of the person concerned. However, these behaviors must also be worked on in order to remedy the cause of the deficiency symptoms.

The Schüssler salt No. 15, Kalium iodatum, consists of potassium, a substance found in relatively high concentrations throughout the body, and iodine. Iodine is mainly stored in the thyroid gland and is essential for its function. The thyroid has a major influence on the metabolism in the body.
An underactive thyroid can manifest itself through weight gain, loss of appetite, tiredness, frequent freezing and low blood pressure, but also through thin, brittle hair and brittle nails.
An overactive thyroid shows up in opposite symptoms such as inexplicable weight loss, increased sweating, restlessness, sometimes noticeably high blood pressure and a fast heartbeat.
As a Schüssler salt, potassium iodatum is mostly used to regulate the thyroid function, often as a supplement to the drug therapy prescribed by the doctor. In general, it should have a regulating and balancing effect on the body's metabolic processes. In addition, it is said to have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, which this salt mainly develops in connective tissue structures such as muscles, tendons, skin and mucous membranes.
This results in a further field of application for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the skin, mucous membranes, tendons or joints. Since potassium iodatum is a so-called supplementary salt, it is known to have a good effect with one of the functional salts or to supplement and strengthen the effect of one.
