GOLD
This heavy, inert metal is used mostly for
aesthetic or economic purposes, but is also used
in medicine and in dentistry, where its resistance
to chemical reaction makes it ideal for tooth
fillings and caps.
Key Symptoms
workaholic nature; despair at any perceived failures; bouts of anger and violence; angina; pains in the bones; person feels worse at night-
The ancient Egyptians were one of the earliest civilizations to master the
art of mining and working gold. In many cultures it was ascribed great
value on the basis of its rarity and splendor. As early as the 7th century BCE,
gold was fashioned into coins and used as a means of exchange,
paving the way for today's world economy. Gold also plays a role in
conventional medicine, being used in the treatment of rheumatoid
arthritis. Hahnemann proved the homeopathic remedy in 1818.
