Indications

Hepar sulfuris is traditionally associated with a marked tendency towards suppuration, especially of the skin and lymph glands — furuncles, pyodermia, whitlows and phlegmons — together with cellulitis and general pus formation. It is linked with tonsillar abscesses, chalazions and hordeolums (styes), and with a right-sided haemicrania (one-sided headache). In the urinary sphere it is connected with urinary disorders, cystopyelitis and pyuria. Characteristic of the picture is a great sensitivity to touch and pressure, a pronounced hypersensitivity to cold and draughts, and improvement through moist warmth such as warm compresses; the discharges may have an odour reminiscent of stale cheese.

About the remedy

In homeopathy its sphere of action is chiefly the skin and glands, where it is a long-established remedy for suppurative, pus-forming processes and abscess formation.
