BoerickeClarkeNashCowperthwaitePhatak

A great fear of impending misfortune or extreme anxiety about the future is typical in those most responsive to China sulph. They often seem bad-tempered, nervous, indifferent, weepy, and depressed. They may have difficulty naming objects.

Classic physical symptoms linked to China sulph. include heavy, aching limbs, joint pains, and a tender, sensitive spine that feels worse for pressure. There may be a sinking sensation when lying down, as if falling through the bed. The remedy may also be used for tinnitus, severe head pain, and recurrent fever, possibly due to malaria. Symptoms often recur at the same time each day, particularly at around 3 p.m.

Key symptoms

Violent ringing, buzzing and roaring in ears with deafness
Marked periodicity of symptoms; malarial origin
Great sensitiveness of dorsal vertebrae; pain on pressure
Facial neuralgia commencing under eye, returning with regularity
Acute articular rheumatism; polyarticular gout
Retro-bulbar neuritis with sudden loss of sight
Bloody, turbid, clay-colored urine with greasy sediment

Worse (aggravation)

For cold; for touch; at particular times of day; at around 3 p.m.

Better (amelioration)

For cold compresses; for yawning; for bending forward; for pressure on the affected area.

Characteristics

Sulphuric acid and Sulphur are themselves in the first rank of periodic remedies, and combined with the chief alkaloid of China they enhance the powerful periodic properties of that drug. In old-school practice the Sulphate of Quinine has almost entirely taken the place of the crude Bark as a remedy.
