In this instance, my list would include Arnica, Hypericum, Aconitum, Belladonna, Ignatia, Rhus tox, and my all-time favorite, Hepar sulphuricum calcarea, AKA Hepar sulph. Hepar sulph. -When notwithstanding all other remedies the case seems bound to suppurate and there is much throbbing pain. Description: It is a white, porous, friable mass or a white amorphous powder. It has the odour and taste of sulphurated hydrogen. It is insoluble in water. It is also insoluble in alcohol but soluble in hot HCl with evolution of hydrogen sulphide. Aconite, Arnica, Belladonna, Lachesis, Nitric acid, Silicea, Spongia, and Zinc are followed well to Hepar sulph. Hepar Sulph Dosage and Potency:It prevents the formation of pus and hastens the pointing of an abscess. Ulcers have a tendency to burrow deep causing necrosis and caries in the bones. In the case of abscesses, the potency differs based on whether they’re dental or dermatological. The best (and only) potency recommended for dental abscesses is 6X, while 30X or 30C would be the most appropriate for external skin infections. If a patient has a metal allergy, especially mercurial preparations then, Hepar Sulph helps to relieve symptoms.
