The mineral Sulphur is found in every cell of the body, especially the skin. It covers a wide range of symptoms. Most people have a streak of Sulphur in their make-up so it can be used from time to time during treatment. More often a male remedy, Sulphur types are highly imaginative, intellectual & inventive, though they are inept on a practical level. There are two basic Sulphur types: the vigorous & the more indolent type. They tend to be egotistical & have a strong need for recognition. Generally scruffy, they adopt a life style which affords the least possible effort & will spend their lives theorising about anything. Sulphur is mainly used to treat all conceivable skin problems, which are worse for warmth, washing, with temporary relief from scratching. Other symptoms may be early morning diarrhoea, vomiting, & hunger pains around 11.00 a.m. Sulphur is also given for mental stress, irritability, depression, fevers, headaches, conjunctivitis. Sulphur patients tend to have dry rough hair & skin. They can be either rotund or lean with a red-face & there is an air of untidiness about them. Weak areas of the body are the circulation, mucous membranes, the soles of the feet, skin & the left side of the body.
