Sulphur is a non-metallic element and is a brittle solid of a
pale yellow colour. It is insoluble in water and alcohol but completely
soluble in carbon disulphide. Sulphur was proved and introduced by
Samuel Hahnemann. The mother tincture triturations and dilution are
prepared from the Sulphur fine powder. The trituration is prepared by
the ratio of drug strength 1/10 and mother tincture is prepared by the
drug strength of 1/5000.
Sulphur is great anti-psoric remedy proved by Dr. Samuel
Hahnemann himself. Its action is centrifugal from within outward
having an elective affinity for the skin. A typical sulphur patient
indications are, ebullitions of heat, dislike of water, hair and skin dry
and hard, red orifices, sinking feeling at stomach about 11am and catnap sleep. Sulphur patient is always uncomfortable while standing,
