Benefits

The homeopathic remedy hepar sulf. is primarily prescribed for people suffering from infections, for instance, earache, tonsillitis and skin disorder, wherein the skin becomes very susceptible to touch and damp and discharges pus somewhat easily. Turning to hepar sulf. helps in getting rid of the pus, for instance in the case of contagious pimples caused by acne, or boils that are extremely susceptible to touch and are just about to burst. In addition, homeopathic practitioners prescribe hepar sulf. for treating sinus congestion; tender throats accompanied by ear pain while swallowing anything and loss of voice or croakiness;cold sores and ulcers in the mouth; formation of ulcers or tenderness and swelling of the eyes; and colds that begin with a scratchy and tickly throat.

In homeopathy, hepar sulf. is a remedy for cold and flu, which are generally accompanied by symptoms like fever, sneezing and patients require a lot of warmth to keep them well. Patients suffering from these conditions may endure excessive catarrh that often changes from being running to dense. The nostrils of such people become red and tender, while the throat may become scratchy. These conditions may also be accompanied by symptoms such as ear aches, which may generally develop into sinusitis (inflammation of the membrane lining the sinus). Many patients enduring these health complaints may also suffer from a dry and hoarse cough or a crowing cough (a type of whooping cough) accompanied by loose and clattering phlegm in the chest.

In addition, homeopathic practitioners prescribe hepar sulf. for patients experiencing a dry hacking cough which is generally related to a tender throat. Over the passage of time, such types of cough are likely to deteriorate and may result in the patient feeling as if he/ she is actually being suffocated owing to it. The homeopathic remedy hepar sulf. is an effective medication for any cough in the chest that is worsened when the patient is exposed to cold air, sweating and flu accompanied by a fever.

People who respond to the homeopathic remedy hepar sulf. well are those who are very susceptible to cold air, any sort of disturbance, pain and touch when they are ill. In addition, all excretions from their body – such as sweat, urine and stool, have a disgusting odour when they are sick. In effect, people belonging to the Hepar sulf. type are know to be suffering from nervous anxiety and tetchiness accompanied by irrational likes and dislikes and have an inclination to be hurried in whatever they do. They also are offended quite easily.

 Homeopathic physicians often recommend use of hepar sulf. for patients who generally suffer from queasiness, vomiting and also diarrhea. In such cases, the patient simply does not feel comfortable, as there is a perturbing sensation in the abdomen. This homeopathic remedy is also useful in the later stages of curing an abscess (formation of pus by tissue destruction in an aroused area of a localized infection). When hepar sulf. is administered to patients in such cases, it usually results in the maturation of the abscess and it begins to drain out pus. In addition, the homeopathic remedy hepar sulf. has been proved to be effective in treating conditions like dental abscesses as well as aching and bleeding gums.

Hepar sulf. is also useful for treating ear infections that gives rise to a sensation as though something is deposited in or glued to the ears. In such conditions, the patients experience a stitching pain and discharge from the ears. As the pain is intolerable, when children suffer from this condition, they usually become touchy and want their ears to be covered by something. Some patients suffering from this condition may even have distended lymph glands. Turning to the homeopathic remedy hepar sulf. in such conditions, not only helps to cure the main complaints, but also provides quick relief from the associated symptoms.
