Aurum's Effect on Depression
Aurum is a fascinating study of a metallic substance that has been used for eons for the treatment of depression
and other disturbances. This substance has been known since prehistoric times and the word is derived from the
Anglo-Saxon word for metal. The symbol comes from the Latin ‘aurum,’ which means gold.
What exactly is Aurum?
Aurum is essentially a soft metal that is chemically unreactive. It is one of the few elements that occurs in a
natural state. It is known to dissolve in royal water, which is a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
Aurum can be easily beaten into thin sheets, known as gold leaf. It can be used as an architectural or paper
ornament. Aurum is also often used in jewelry. It is also sometimes used to make electronics and to color glass in
order to make it reflect heat. Most of the gold is mined in Russia and South Africa and stored as bullion. Aurum
has not been widely studied and it is not often used in homeopathy because there is not enough information
regarding its use.
