Sulphur has traditionally been used for the relief of the symptoms associated with dry, scaly skin conditions that are worse from bathing and the warmth of the bed. It may help the management of menopausal symptoms such as flushes and the discomfort of haemorrhoids. Sulphur may help the body to restore balance after illness or treatments.
Sulphur is an important trace mineral that may support detoxification and is part of a number of enzymes and proteins in our body. Sulphur, as a homoeopathic remedy, is commonly used in home prescribing for many different skin conditions such as rashes or itching skin. It is used to support slow convalescence after an illness or when complaints relapse, and is sometimes used to stimulate a response when a well-chosen remedy fails to act.
