Sulfur is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16. It is abundant, multivalent and nonmetallic. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with a chemical formula S8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow, crystalline solid at room temperature.

Sulfur is the tenth most abundant element by mass in the universe and the fifth most on Earth. Though sometimes found in pure, native form, sulfur on Earth usually occurs as sulfide and sulfate minerals. Being abundant in native form, sulfur was known in ancient times, being mentioned for its uses in ancient India, ancient Greece, China, and ancient Egypt. Historically and in literature sulfur is also called brimstone, which means “burning stone”. Today, almost all elemental sulfur is produced as a byproduct of removing sulfur-containing contaminants from natural gas and petroleum. The greatest commercial use of the element is the production of sulfuric acid for sulfate and phosphate fertilizers, and other chemical processes. Sulfur is used in matches, insecticides, and fungicides. Many sulfur compounds are odoriferous, and the smells of odorized natural gas, skunk scent, grapefruit, and garlic are due to organosulfur compounds. Hydrogen sulfide gives the characteristic odor to rotting eggs and other biological processes.

Sulfur is an essential element for all life, but almost always in the form of organosulfur compounds or metal sulfides. Amino acids (two proteinogenic: cysteine and methionine, and many other non-coded: cystine, taurine, etc.) and two vitamins (biotin and thiamine) are organosulfur compounds crucial for life. Many cofactors also contain sulfur, including glutathione, and iron–sulfur proteins. Disulfides, S–S bonds, confer mechanical strength and insolubility of the (among others) protein keratin, found in outer skin, hair, and feathers. Sulfur is one of the core chemical elements needed for biochemical functioning and is an elemental macronutrient for all living organisms.

    Sulphur and Psorinum are both well-known antipsoric remedies in homeopathy, but they have different indications and characteristics:

    1. Sulphur
    -Indications: Sulphur is often used for skin conditions, especially those with itching, burning, and redness. It is also effective for respiratory issues, digestive problems, and general debility.
    -Symptoms: Patients needing Sulphur may experience intense itching, burning sensations, and redness on the skin. They may also have a tendency to feel better with warmth and worse with cold.
    -Constitution: Suitable for individuals who are warm-blooded, have a strong sense of self, and may be prone to skin eruptions.

    2. Psorinum
    -Indications: Psorinum is used for chronic skin conditions, respiratory issues, and general weakness. It is particularly effective for conditions that have a history of suppression or have been treated unsuccessfully with other remedies.
    -Symptoms: Symptoms include intense itching, especially at night, scaly or dry skin, and a tendency to feel worse in cold weather. Psorinum is also indicated for chronic respiratory conditions with thick, foul-smelling mucus.
    -Constitution: Suitable for individuals who are extremely sensitive to cold, have a low vitality, and often feel hopeless or anxious about their health.

    3. Comparison
    -Skin Conditions: Both remedies are used for skin conditions, but Sulphur is more commonly associated with burning and itching, while Psorinum is indicated for intense itching, especially at night.
    -Constitution: Sulphur is for warm-blooded, self-confident individuals, whereas Psorinum is for those who are cold-sensitive, have low vitality, and often feel hopeless.
    -General Health: Sulphur is used for a wide range of conditions including respiratory and digestive issues, while Psorinum is particularly effective for chronic conditions with a history of suppression.

    2. Breathing Difficulties: Rapid, shallow breathing and shortness of breath, even at rest.
