Arsenicum Sulphuratum Flavum

 

Arsenicum Sulphuratum Flavum is very commonly used in leprosy. It has been found very effective in all kinds of itching, leprosy and skin lesions associated with syphilis. Its salient features are flashes of piercing pain emitting from inside the chest and a stinging sensation on the forehead on the right side and behind the ear. The pain is like being jabbed with a needle and tends to shift its position.  Ants seem to be creeping all over the body. Spasms and twitching of the body are not uncommon. The feeling of being hot is accompanied by a rapid irregular pulse that becomes worse on walking or running.  The pain is intense and unbearable.

The Arsenic Sulphuratum Flavum patient is very easily provoked.  Irritability is apparent right at the dawn of the day. Prevalent in vertigo is the fear of falling on the right side. The head feels cold.  The eyes are red and sticky due to reddish yellow exudates. The discharge from the ears smells very offensive. In case of cold, the nasal secretions are copious. 

The person feels weak and debilitated.  Arsenic Sulphuratum Flavum is particularly famous for its use in skin diseases. It is widely used in white skin spots of leprosy; eczema, acne and wide spread pimples and moles. It is worth a trial for the cure of non-healing ulcers associated with burning and severe discomfort. The symptoms of the Arsenic Sulphuratum Flavum patient aggravate in the morning and in the evening. The patient does not like open air, which aggravates the symptoms further.
