Medicine Of The Day
Latin Name:
Sulphur Iodatum
Common Name:
sulfur iodide
Description:
Used for skin conditions such as eczema, candidiasis, or diaper rash. This remedy also treats digestive complaints, mental stress, gynelogical complaints, fatigue, forgetfulness, depression, insomnia due to nightmares, chicken pox, diarrhea in children, earaches, gastroenteritis, hemorrhoids, pinkeye, and profuse offensive perspiration. Symptoms are often worse with rest and better with open air. People who require this remedy may be lazy, selfish, occupied, and have difficulty thinking (Lockie 76, Jonas 265).
Health Tip of the DayEating meat is harmful as it does not contain any fibre which is required to eject out the unused portion of the food. Vegetables and fruits are ideal sources of fibre.
Health Quote of the Day A man's health can be judged by which he takes two at a time -- pills or stairs."
- Joan Welsh
