Sulphur — Mother Tincture (Ø) (Allen)

Sulphur — burning heat — hot feet pushed out of bed, hot flushes, burning skin; itching worse for warmth and washing; redness of the openings (lips, anus); a hungry 11 am sinking; untidy, philosophical, 'the ragged philosopher'.

Traditionally reached for

• an itchy, red, dry skin eruption made worse by heat and washing
• a cold or complaint that never quite clears, or relapses
• as a starting point when well-chosen remedies stop acting
