Hi,
I am looking for any articles and lecure-notes on Hepar sulphuris, especially regarding the mind (mental and emotional) and generals of it.
Any help is welcome.
Regards.

Re: HEPAR SULPHURIS
Excerpt from Hahnemann:
The Chronic Diseases
Hepar sulph. has proved itself particularly useful, when having been selected according to the similarity of symptoms, there were besides present one or more of the following symptoms:
Boring headache in the root of the nose, every morning from seven to twelve o’ clock; ulcerative pain just above the eye every evening; shooting pains in the eyes; photophobia; flow of fetid pus from the ear; erysipelas in the face with prickling turgidity; dryness of the throat; scrapy sore throat, interfering with speaking, but did with deglutition; a plug in the throat; voracious hunger; eructation; fits of nausea, with coldness and paleness; swelling and pressure in the gastric region; frequent and too easy derangement of the stomach; contractive pain in the abdomen; stitches in the left side of the abdomen; incarceration of flatus; difficult discharge of flatus in the morning; nocturnal passage of urine during sleep; flow of mucus from the urethra; lack of sexual desire; lack of erections; weak erections during coitus; emission of prostatic juice after micturition, during a hard stool and per se; retarded menses; leucorrhoea, with excoriation on the pudenda; cough; severe cough in the evening, when lying abed, spasmodic contraction of the chest, with shooting, burning pain on its edges and fetor as of old cheese; tearing in the arm toward the ulcer in the chest; drawing in the back between the scapulae; fetid of the axillae; encysted tumor on the point of the elbow; dying - off of the fingers; sawing pain in the limbs, chiefly in the morning on awaking; trembling weariness after smoking tobacco; yawning; tendency to perspire by day; flying heat, with perspiration.

Hahnemann Materia Medica Pura

from
E.A. Farrington’s Clinical Materia Medica.
Farrington describes Hepar Sulph “as an impure calcium sulphide, containing traces of the sulphide of lime, organic matter possibly, and very likely, too, minute proportion of the phosphate of lime, since it is made from the middle layer of the oyster shell and flowers of sulphur.” He added, “It possesses many similarities to and marked differences from its components.
Hepar Sulph is mentally a sad, low‑spirited individual, evening open air, increased crossness, weak memory esp. with words and places indicated in nervous system involvement esp. right side of face, abuse of mercury, or exposure to cold, dry winds.
(Compare Belladonna, Silicea, Sulphur)
Freq. follows Belladonna
hasty speech and actions especially when distressed.
Inflammation and congestions with sensitivity to touch.
Feeling of soreness and bruising.
cold air and cold applications to affected areas.
Useful when suppuration is near in earache, rarely in the beginning.
Give Hepar Sulph high to abort suppuration and low to hasten suppuration.
In croup, after exposure to dry, cold winds. Child throws head back to breathe better. Hard barky cough with rattling of mucus, worse with cold air. When cough is worse in morning. Before midnight IF cough is moist, not dry.
Hepar follows Aconite and Spongia.
Hepar Sulph in the advanced stages of a cold. Feeling of fish‑bone in throat.
In late stages of pneumonia during stage of resolution.
For glandular disease during stage of suppuration with formation of pus.
Sometimes antidotes Mercury.
Hunger with gnawing, empty feeling in forenoon, wanting to eat
In dyspeptic symptoms, food provokes indigestion (similar to Lach).
Marasmus (atrophy) of children. Farrington says
“Standing as it does between Sulphur on one side and Calcerea on the other, as a combination of these two, it is here of value. The symptoms which lead you to Hepar in the complaints of children are these: ...weakness of digestion, ...cannot manage their food,” also diarrhea is present, worse in day, and post eating. “The whole child smells sour.”
Skin ulcers with extreme sensitiveness.
Skin scratches suppurate. (Also Mercurius, Chamomilla, Silicea, and Lyc.)
Moist eruptions in skin. Itching esp. in bends of joints.
Antidote in metallic poisoning esp. mercury and iodine of potassium.
Antidotes Cinchona and Iodine.
For skin conditions compare with Carbo animalis, Sepia, Psorinum, Cuprum,
Thuja, Zinc, Graphics, Nat. Mur, and Croton tiglium.
From
Pocket Manual of Homoeopathic Materia Medica and Repertory,
W. Boericke:
Great sensitiveness to all impressions.
Sweating patient pulling blanket around him.
Infected sinus with pus forming.
Tendency to suppuration
Chilliness, hypersensitiveness, splinter‑like pains, craving for sour and
strong things.
Feels if wind blows on a part of body.
Anguish in evening and night, thoughts of suicide.
Dejected and sad.
Ferocious.
Vertigo and headache.
Kent writes in his Lectures of the Materia Medica:
“In contrast with Hepar (although Hepar is a form of Calcarea), Calc. Carb.
Has no such tearing down nature in it.
It does not establish inflammation around foreign bodies and tend to suppurate them out, but causes a fibrous deposit around bullets and other foreign substances in the flesh.
It causes tubercular deposits to harden and contract and become encysted.”
Also, chilly patient. Lots of clothes, warm rooms, no endurance for the cold.
All complaints worse from cold.
Extreme irritability. Little things make patient intensely angry, abusive
and impulsive. Impulsive enough to kill. Difficult to get along with.
Oversensitive to everyone and everything.
In Otto Leeser’s Book, Text Book of Homeopathic Materia Medica:
he places Hepar Sulfuris calcareum (note the different spelling) in the Sulphur Group.
“Hepar Sulfuris Calcareum is obtained through heating calcium ( the middle layer of the oyster shell) with flowers of sulfur. Thereby arises a yellow, gray, crystalline mixture of calcium polysulfides (CaS2, CaS4, CaS5, etc) and calcium sulfate).”
He continues,
“Essentially it has the action of sulfur in its activ H2S form, but still is modified in certain directions through the participation of the calcium ions.”
Lesser says
that Hepar is similar to Sulfur in the chronic metal poisonings, lead poisonings and mercurial diseases. Also for Iodine poisoning.
