Formal Name: Stibium Sulphuratum Nigrum / Antimonium Crudum

Also Known As: Antimonium Crud, Antimony, Black Sulfide of Antimony

The mineral antimony occurs naturally, and is usually found in a crystalline form. You may have never heard of it, but you may have used it in your everyday life. Years back it was used by women as a cosmetic.

It is also used on the tips of matches as it ignites when struck against red phosphorus. When it comes to the world of homeopathy however, antimony has a very different purpose.

This mineral was discovered centuries ago as an excellent homeopathic remedy when prepared properly.

Antimonium crud is a homeopathic remedy that can offer several benefits. The stibnite mineral is roasted and heated with carbon to extract the actual antimony that lies beneath. This is then triturated with lactose sugar and then diluted and succussed. The substance that forms and is left behind contains virtually no traces of antimony, however it works quite well as a homeopathic remedy.
