Typical features

 Tellurium occurs in the native state and in combination with gold, silver, lead, and antimony. It resembles Sulphur and Selenium in its chemical reactions. It was proved and introduced into homoeopathy by Hering in 1850. The most notable feature of the proving was the irritation of the skin, including skin of eyelids and ears, of spinal column and of some nerves. The most characteristic form of the skin irritation of Tell. is herpes circinatus, and it has probably cured more cases of ringworm, especially of the face and body, than any other remedy. I cured with Tell. an Indian officer home on furlough whose body was covered over with a ringworm-like eruption. The odour of the body and of the sweat is offensive and garlic-like. The prover had to sit apart from the rest of the class during a whole session on account of this. In parts where the skin forms openings, as the ear, the effect of Tell. is intensified. The characteristic odour of the ear discharge is that of fish brine. The discharge is so acrid it vesicates any part of the skin it touches. Tell. is one of the most important remedies in otorrhoea. Nash cured several cases of post-scarlatinal otorrhoea, using the 6th, higher attenuations having failed. Eyelids are inflamed, and the vesicating property extends to the eye itself, setting up phlyctenular conjunctivitis. Other parts of the skin affected by Tell. are the hair-roots, the breasts, the perinaeum, and the anus. There is itching in the rectum after stool. Tell. has caused expulsion of threadworms. The offensiveness of Tell. appears in the breath and in the flatus; and it is a leading remedy in offensive foot-sweat. In addition to the inflammation of the eyes caused by Tell., it has pains over the eyes. Skin and nerves are closely allied, and Tell. is a remedy in many neuralgic conditions, notably sciatica. The right side is most affected, and these are characteristic сonditions: the pain is Lying on back. Lying on affected side.
