Sulphur is one of the most important and widely used remedies in homeopathy. Known as the “king of anti-psorics”, it is primarily indicated in chronic skin diseases, itching, burning sensations, and deep-seated constitutional disorders.

🔍 Key Indications:

• Skin diseases: Dry, scaly, itchy skin; eruptions that burn after scratching; aggravated by heat and bathing.

• Burning sensations: In palms, soles, eyes, anus, top of head.

• Lack of cleanliness: Patient dislikes bathing or feels worse after bathing.

• Offensive discharges: Sweat, stools, and skin eruptions are foul-smelling.

• Constipation: Urge felt but passes only after long straining; stools are hard, dry, and knotty.

• Weakness at 11 am: A classic keynote; sudden sinking of strength late morning.

🧠 Mental & Emotional Picture:

• Philosophical, theorizing, but disorganized and forgetful.

• Egotistic, neglectful of appearance, indifferent to others.

• Restless, irritable, especially when questioned.

🩺 Modalities (What Makes Symptoms Better or Worse):

• Worse: From warmth, bathing, standing long, at night, and early morning.

• Better: From open air, cold applications, dry weather.

⚖️ Constitutional Type:

• Thin, stoop-shouldered, untidy individuals.

• Warm-blooded, with red lips, mucous membranes, and a tendency to sweat.

💊 Common Uses in Practice:

• Chronic eczema, psoriasis, acne.

• Hemorrhoids with itching and burning.

• Chronic constipation.

• Foul body odor, offensive sweat.

• To clear the case when symptoms are not clearly defined (often used as an “intercurrent” remedy).

📏 Potency & Repetition:

• Start low (6C, 30C) for skin or acute conditions.

• Higher potencies (200C, 1M) for constitutional treatment — only under guidance.
