Antimonium crudum
Antimony trisulfide
Antimonium crudum is suited for patients with chronic skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, presenting with thick, crusty, or scaly eruptions, often with intense itching or burning, worse from heat or washing. These are frequently accompanied by functional gastrointestinal symptoms, including dyspepsia, bloating, or nausea, particularly after overeating rich foods (e.g., fats, sweets). Psychological symptoms include irritability, sentimentality, or mild depression, often linked to physical discomfort or social rejection. Symptoms may worsen with temperature extremes (hot or cold), dietary indiscretions, or emotional stress. The remedy is particularly relevant for chronic, relapsing conditions with a strong mind-body connection, often seen in individuals with a history of dietary or environmental sensitivities.
