ARSENICUM SULPHURATUM RUBRUMLiquid

Arsenicum sulphuratum rubrum is a homoeopathic medicine prepared from the Red Sulphide of Arsenic (Realgar – As₂S₂), through trituration. It was introduced and proved by Neidhard. It is chiefly helpful in skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, acne, and furuncles, as well as gastritis, influenza with sciatica as a complication, and neuralgia. Patients needing this medicine often show burning pains, marked chilliness, and symptoms that turn worse at night.
