In cases ofboils,abscesses, orcarbuncles: it should first be noted that low dilutions (4–5 CH) promote suppuration, while high dilutions (15–30 CH) resorb and dry up suppurations.
-
Depending on the progression of the condition, medium dilutions (7–9 CH) may have either effect. Thus:
-
atthe onset of suppuration(pus discharge): use Hepar sulfuris calcareum 30 CH: 1 or 2 doses per day until improvement is seen;
-
ifa purulent area forms: useHepar sulfuris calcareumaccording to the step-dose technique: take 1 dose of Hepar sulfuris calcareum 9 CHas soon as possible, then 1 dose at 15 CH the next day, then 1 dose at 30 CH the day after that, continuing, if necessary, 1 dose of 30 CH until improvement is seen;
