Sulphur iodatum may be used as a Homeopathic medicine and/or micronutritional (mineral preparation). Homeopathic potencies accredit their strength and efficacy to the electromagnetic signatures of the original substrate; these are scientifically created dilutions and succussions of medicines such that generally not even a molecule of the original substrate or medicine is present in the medicine.

As a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional, Sulphur iodatum has demonstrated effectiveness against the following symptomology: painful suppurating acne, coryza, weeping eczema, skin eruptions on lips, eczema associated with varicose veins of the leg and pronounced itching, hypertrophy of parotid glands, pain in kidneys, affections of prostate.
