Long-term use of excess salt leads to profound changes in trophism, including in the blood circulation system, which is expressed both in symptoms of salt retention in the body (edema and dropsy), and in the form of changes in the composition of the blood itself, such as anemia and leukocytosis.

indications for use

action on the body

Salt is so habitual food product that it was considered completely useless for medicine. But only those who do not rise beyond the tissue level think so. Salt in pure form does not really have any constitutional effect.

You will find thin subjects who have all the symptoms of table salt: they consume it in large quantities, but they do not absorb it. Salt comes out with their stool, but is not included in the life processes. This is a typical emaciation of Natrum muriaticum, with a desire for salt. We see the same thing in lime patients. Children get enough calcium from food, as well as table salt, and our task is to give the body calcium or salt not in the form that is directly absorbed by them, but in the one that is necessary for the "inner man", deep mechanisms; then the exhaustion of Natrum muriaticum will soon go away, and the disturbance of calcium metabolism will also disappear. Our small doses are not designed to provide the body with salt, we treat internal illness, put in order " inner man"and then the tissues get enough salt from the food. All remedies must be given in the form that is needed. We can potentize the remedies higher and higher until the secret spring is set in motion.

Natrum muriaticum works long and deep. The remedy has an amazing effect on the body of the patient, making amazing changes that remain for a long time if the remedy is prescribed in high dilution.

Much can be understood by studying the appearance of such a patient, one can only look at him to say: this person is like Natrum muriaticum. Experienced doctor learns to distinguish patients by appearance: the skin is shiny, pale, waxy, it seems that it is smeared with oil. Amazing weariness of a special kind. exhaustion, weakness, nervous exhaustion, neurasthenia.

This remedy has a long series of mental symptoms: hysterical state of mind and body; crying alternates with laughter; uncontrollable laughter at inappropriate times; prolonged, spasmodic laughter. It is followed by tears, deep longing, nothing pleases. The patient does not pay attention to the fact that everything is so wonderful that she should be happy - she is sad and cannot get out of this state. She is insensitive to external impressions, easily becomes sad, sad because of nonsense. She remembers all the unpleasant episodes of her life and worries about them. Comfort makes it worse mental condition, sadness, tearfulness, and sometimes causes anger. She seems to need to be comforted, but she rages against sympathy. Along with melancholy comes a headache. She paces the room in anger. The patient is extremely forgetful; can't count anything; can't think of anything; forgets what she was going to say; loses the thread of what he listens to or reads. Pronounced mental prostration.

Unrequited attraction - typical cause symptoms of Natrum muriaticum. The patient is unable to control her feelings and falls in love with a married man. She understands how stupid it is, but nevertheless lies awake, dreaming about him. A high society girl falls in love with a coachman. She knows that none of this is real, but she can't help it. In such cases, Natrum muriaticum will put her thoughts in order, the patient will come to her senses, surprised that she was so stupid. This tool is suitable for hysterical girls.

If, in mental symptoms, Ignatia helps partly, but does not cure, Natrum muriaticum should be given. Note that Natrum muriaticum should be given immediately if the underlying constitutional condition is too deep for Ignatia.

Aversion to bread, fats and rich food.

Excitement hurts the Natrum muriaticum patient greatly, she is extremely emotional. The whole nervous system is in a state of restlessness, excitement, the patient is worse from noise, door knocking, ringing, harsh sounds, music.

The pains of this remedy are sharp, stitching, like an electric shock; convulsive contractions of the limbs on falling asleep, twitching, shooting pains. The patient is hypersensitive to any influences, she is excitable, emotional, constantly in tension.

Complaints appear in a warm room, worse indoors, desire to be in the fresh air. Mental symptoms improve outdoors. When perspiring, takes cold easily, but generally better in open air, worse from overheating; worse from physical exertion resulting in heat, but better from moderate physical activity in cool air.

Both Natrum carbonicum and Natrum muriaticum have the same tension of nervous processes as sodium salts, but chilliness predominates in the former remedy, while warm-bloodedness predominates in the latter.

Painful face, skin oily, shiny, sallow, yellowish, often anemic, covered with vesicular eruptions on the edge of the scalp, around the ears and on the back of the neck. Scaly and scaly eruptions, with great itching, with oozing of watery fluid, sometimes dry. After peeling, a shiny surface remains. AT ear canal scales form, which peel off and leave a weeping surface. Watery vesicles on the lips and wings of the nose, around the genitals and anus. Vesicular eruptions, white, oozing with watery discharge, come and go. Available severe itching skin.

The skin becomes waxy, edematous. There is great emaciation, the skin looks dry, lifeless, shrunken. Babies are like little old people. They have a fluff on their face, which disappears with the onset of recovery. Exhaustion goes from top to bottom. First, the collarbones begin to protrude and the neck becomes thinner, but the waist and legs retain their roundness. In Lycopodium the emaciation also extends from top to bottom. The specific directions of action of drugs often help us to distinguish them from each other.

The discharge from the mucous membranes characteristic of the drug is watery, or they are thick, white, like egg white. Violent coryza with watery discharge, although a thick, white discharge corresponds to a chronic, constitutional condition. Expectoration from the throat of thick, sticky mucus in the morning. Oozing from the eyes viscous secretions. The discharge from the ears is thick, white and sticky. White and thick leucorrhea. With gonorrhea, the discharge continues for a long time and become mucopurulent. The urethra has burning pain occurring only after urination.

Headaches are terrible, unbearable; tearing, squeezing, like a vise; it looks like the skull is about to crack. The pain is accompanied by throbbing and throbbing. Pain, as if little hammers start beating in the head. Throbbing pains in the head in the morning on waking. Pain occurs in the second half of the night. Strong nervousness and excitement in the first half of the night; the patient goes to sleep late and wakes up with a pounding headache. Often the headache begins at 10.00 - 11.00 and continues until 15.00 or until the evening. Headaches are intermittent, occurring daily, every third or fourth day. Headaches in those living in malarial areas; they decrease after sleep; the patient is forced to lie down in bed and not move; ameliorated by perspiration, pain associated with intermittent fever. During the chill, the head feels as if it would burst; the patient is delusional and drinks a lot of cold water. Head symptoms do not improve until sweat appears. Sometimes all symptoms are ameliorated by perspiration, except for the headache.

There is another type of headache: than stronger pain the more sweating; sweat brings no relief; cold forehead covered in cold sweat. If the head is wrapped warmly, it becomes better from movement in the fresh air.

Headache due to visual impairment, with inability to quickly accommodate. Headache worse from noise.

The pain fills the entire back of the head and even spreads down the spine, which is observed after diseases of the brain, hydrocephalus.

Spinal injury, with hypersensitivity to pressure; irritated spine. The vertebrae are very painful, and the patient suffers greatly from aching pain along the spine. Spinal pain worse from coughing and also from walking; ameliorated by lying on a hard surface, by pressing the back against something hard; the patient can sit with a pillow or arm pressed against her back. You will meet women with dysmenorrhea who lie with something hard under their spine.

Nervous trembling all over. Twitching of the muscles, trembling of the limbs, unable to keep the limbs still, just like Zincum.

Stomach and liver problems are closely related. The stomach is distended with flatus. Lump in stomach after eating. The food seems to take too long to digest. Worse after eating. Vomiting of whitish mucus relieves. Desire cold water, sometimes drinking brings relief, sometimes there is an unquenchable thirst. There is a sensation of fullness in the region of the liver, with stitching, tearing pains. The intestines are distended with gases. Slow bowel movements, difficult bowel movements, hard stools in the form of accumulation of feces. Slowdown of the bladder. One has to wait a long time until urine begins to flow, and then it is emitted slowly, interrupted, there is not enough strength to expel it. After urination, there is a feeling that part of the urine remains in the bladder. The patient cannot urinate in the presence of strangers, cannot urinate in public toilet. There may also be repeated urges that force you to urinate frequently.

This remedy, along with Natrum sulphuricum, has been used by homeopaths to clear up cases chronic diarrhea, diarrhea in old soldiers.

Natrum muriaticum is good for women's troubles, for painful menstruation. This remedy has a great variety of menstrual complaints: menstruation too scanty or too copious, late or too early. Based on these symptoms, you will not be able to individualize, it is necessary to identify the constitutional state. Examine each organ to collect as many symptoms as possible. Examine each organ, but not physically, for the manifestations of the disease will not point to the remedy, but study the symptoms.

As you can see, drugs affect the human body at different rates; some of them act especially long and deeply. Natrum muriaticum is one of them. Natrum muriaticum acts very slowly, producing results after a long time, so this remedy is suitable for complaints that develop slowly and for a long time. This does not mean that it cannot act quickly: all drugs act quickly, but not all are able to act slowly; long-acting drugs can help with acute conditions, but drugs short action in cases of chronic diseases do not work. Understand for yourself also the "gait", the rhythm, the frequency of the action of the drugs. Some remedies correspond to a constant fever, some to an intermittent fever, others to an intermittent one. We observe three different rhythms in Aconite, Belladonna and Bryonia, three different "gaits", three various speeds; we see the same in Sulfur, Graphites, Natrum muriaticum, Carbo vegetabilis - also different forms, rates of development disease state. Some physicians will not hesitate to prescribe Belladonna for persistent fever, but this remedy comes on very quickly, violently, i.e., in their nature has nothing to do with constant fever. It doesn't look like a typhoid condition. Belladonna and Aconite do not have typhoid manifestations, even though formally all symptoms are present. Make sure that the remedy chosen not only has a constellation of symptoms, but also suits the nature of the case. The case of typhoid fever has a similarity in Bryonia or Rhus, but not in Belladonna. Our duty is to follow the truth in everything.

Natrum muriaticum is long lasting active medicine; its symptoms continue for many years; it is characterized by slowly developing, prolonged, deep symptoms. It takes a long time before the patient comes under its influence, even with sufficient sensitivity.

The chill begins in the morning, at 10.30; every day, every second day, every three or four days. The chill comes on in the extremities, which turn blue; there is a throbbing headache, a rush of blood to the face; delirium, constant incoherent speech, manic actions. The symptoms are aggravated until the onset of an attack of congestion. When the attack is fully developed, there is a desire for cold water. Despite the chill, warmth and wrapping do not bring relief, but cold drinks are wanted. It is natural to assume that when people are very chilly they usually seek warmth, but the Natrum muriaticum patient cannot bear it. The patient mutters through his teeth, tosses from side to side, there are pains in the bones as if they would split, and vomiting, which is characteristic of the congestive state. In heat, the patient becomes so hot that the heat almost burns the fingers, the patient falls into a congestive sleep or stupor. Sweat improves the condition, it relieves the pain, and after a while the headache goes away. Violent chills, heat and sweat. Sometimes such attacks can occur in hard knocked down, strong people, but usually this is the lot of the anemic and malnourished, who have long suffered from malaria; protracted, chronic cases. Complaints do not always have such a long prodrome. This medicine is especially indicated for those people who have long lived in malarial areas; anemic, often edematous; in old cases when we come across the effects of treatment with arsenic and quinine, old-school remedies to suppress fever whenever it arises. The patient's illness, however, remains inside and becomes even stronger than it was, and the fever comes on again and again, which is characteristic of this disease; material doses of drugs cannot change the nature of the fever, make it non-intermittent. The same remedies, which are only partially similar, will change the nature of the disease, so that no one can cure it. Homeopathic medicines cure intermittent fever if they are chosen correctly. If this fails, then the condition becomes so confusing that it is unlikely that anyone will be able to cure this case. First of all, the master must understand the case and clarify it so that it can be cured. Few people can boast that they have not confused a single case of malaria, since in many of them the picture was underdeveloped, disguised, individual symptoms may not be at all, especially in those cases that have already been tried to be treated homeopathically.

There is no uniformity in the nature of Natrum muriaticum, so it has only intermittent fever. If the fever becomes even, wait: either the patient recovers, or the patient clearly shows the features of another remedy. There are other medicines that can bring order to your case. Often confused by wrong prescribing, they clear up after using Sepia. Vivid cases of congestion of the head, pains in the back and vomiting are cleared up with Ipecacuanha. Healing after using the right homeopathic medicine steadily; the fever does not return after it.

Natrum muriaticum not only eliminates the predisposition to intermittent fever, but also makes the patient healthier, less susceptible to frequent colds; thus the susceptibility to colds, and to the frequency of their occurrence, goes away. The tendency to periodicity leads to the recurrence of symptoms. We know that each attack paves the way for the next. Each new attack of fever is more destructive than the previous one. Allopathic remedies increase this tendency, while homeopathic remedies eliminate it. homeopathic treatment puts the body in order, which itself copes with diseases more easily. Until the predisposition is removed, the patient will get worse and worse until he reaches complete exhaustion.

Children born in malarial areas often suffer from malnutrition. They have a wolfish appetite, severe hunger, they eat a lot, but they are losing weight all the time.

Conditions that develop during pregnancy. The mammary glands are reduced in size, all top part body is thinner. Great soreness of the uterus. Leucorrhoea, first white, then green. A woman catches a cold from any draft. Pain during intercourse, with dryness of the vagina; sensation as from splinters in the walls of the vagina; pain as from an injection. Dryness of all mucous membranes; wherever there are mucous membranes, dryness occurs. Throat dry, red; sensation of a fish bone when swallowing; it is impossible to swallow food without drinking it with liquid; stabbing pains throughout the esophagus.

Most, when they hear about the sensation of a fishbone stuck in the throat, prescribe Hepar; this is a famous old key symptom. It is also found in Nitricum acidum, Argentum nitricum. Alumina and Natrum muriaticum, but each remedy has a different symptom.

Hepar: Tonsils swollen, swollen, purplish, indicating purulent tonsillitis. The patient is sensitive to the slightest draft, pain in the throat comes on even when the patient puts his hand out from under the covers; he sweats at night, but the sweat brings no relief; he is sensitive to all impressions; every sensation seems to be magnified tenfold.

Nitric acid: yellow spots on the pharynx; rough, jagged ulcers in the throat, or the throat is purple and inflamed. Horse urine smell.

Argentum nitricum: severe hoarseness, defeat vocal cords. Throat swollen, gaping; the patient really wants cold things: cold water, cold air. Suitable in cases where cauterization of cervical ulcers has taken place.

Natrum muriaticum: extreme dryness of the mucous membranes, as if they would crack; chronic dryness without ulceration. Profuse catarrhal discharge, like egg-white, with dryness of the mucous membranes, when there is no mucus on them. The patient is very sensitive, especially to changes in the weather.

Each remedy has its own "gait", its own sequence of action, and this sequence must be kept in mind all the time.

Natrum muriaticum helps in old edema, especially in edema of loose tissue. Sometimes they occur in the serous cavities, and swelling of the brain also appears after acute diseases. Acute spinal meningitis when there is extreme nervous tension, constant tilting of the head, constant nodding twitching of the head. Acute diseases leading to hydrocephalus or irritation spinal cord. Sometimes it works with ascites, but more often it is effective for edema of the lower extremities. Acute edema after scarlet fever; the patient is oversensitive, starts in sleep, jumps up in confusion at night; protein and casts are found in the urine.

In swellings after malaria, Natrum muriaticum, if curative, usually returns the original fever. Only one cure is known: from top to bottom, from inside to outside, in reverse order of symptom onset. If we get something else, it is only an improvement, not a recovery. If the symptoms return, this gives hope; this is the only possible path to recovery.

Skin symptoms are conspicuous. In old, chronic cases, the skin appears translucent, as if the patient were swollen; skin waxy, oily, shiny; other remedies for oily, shiny skin are Plumbum, Thuja, Selenium. These drugs also deeply affect the body. Remedies that can bring about such amazing changes must work deep enough.

The medicine is effective after childbirth, if the woman in labor does not come to her senses; she is weak and irritable; lochia long, profuse, white; her hair falls out on her head and genitals; milk is lost, or the child does not absorb it. Effective for postpartum pain, with insufficient contraction of the uterus, while the uterus is in a state of prolonged hyperemia. The patient is worse from noise, music, door knocking. She really wants salty things, while she has an aversion to bread, wine and fat. Sour wine upsets the stomach. Natrum muriaticum will clear the case, restore lactation and put the case in order.

This remedy is needed in chlorotic girls with oily skin, greenish or yellowish skin, who menstruate every two or three months. Menses profuse or scanty and watery. When symptoms coincide, this remedy can get rid of chlorosis, restore healthy look, although not immediately. It can take years to regain health after typical chlorosis. When a finger is cut, water seems to flow instead of blood; menses are like leucorrhoea; this state pernicious anemia. Natrum muriaticum penetrates deep into the processes of life and restores a flush to the cheeks of the sick.

NATRUM MURIATICUM - HALITE, ROCK SALT, SODIUM CHLORIDE

Natrum Muriaticum, like Carbo Vegetabilis and Silicea, illustrates the potentiating effects and the power contained in seemingly inert substances.

Of course, the drug Natrum Muriaticum, like any other medicine, is able to cure any disease with corresponding symptoms, but cases of thyrotoxicosis, neurosis (especially depressive type), hypertension, sinusitis, etc., often seem to call for Natrum Muriaticum.

The description of Natrum Muriaticum often mentions aggravation from heat, but it is better to remember that (as in cases of Si l., Lach ., etc.) aggravation can occur both from cold and from heat.

Recently, Dr. S. R. Fatak described the case of a girl who became mentally unstable. In this case, some time after she lost the baby, she couldn't cry. She received Natrum Muriaticum which cured her.

In another case, a boy was described who had been subject to prolonged asthma attacks since childhood. In a case where a boy did not properly cry after birth, Dr. Fatak gave Natrum Muriaticum again and this brought relief for several months. It seemed to me a strange interpretation of the general rubric "Sad but unable to weep" (Kent's Repertory).

In another case, the symptoms were contradictory and hopelessly confused. Boger gives an indication, according to Natrum Muriaticum: "Thinness, thirst and hopelessness." Interpreting the word "hopelessness" in a much broader sense, Dr. Fatak prescribed Natrum Muriaticum, which brought relief to the patient.

The more we study and practice homeopathy, the more we realize that a remedy can be used in a thousand ways. Going further in this reflection, I can say that one person may never master all the possibilities of one tool in his whole life. This is a very hasty (and perhaps depressing) thought, but I think it's true.

"Mr. H.J.S., aged 24, suffered for 4 years from periodic pain in the left supraorbital region, occurring almost daily. The pain increased and decreased gradually. He experienced< от вентилятора, < в комнате с кондиционером, < на солнце. С болью появлялись отеки под глазами и слезотечение. Боль < после сна. Вставание из sitting position usually caused fainting. He had a desire for salt, he had an aversion to milk. Thirst: 5-6 glasses of water a day. His memory was weak, he was irritable and preferred to be alone; did not like consolation.

This was a typical case of Natrum Muriaticum. By taking 3 doses of Natrum Muriaticum 200 at 2 hour intervals on one day preceded by S ac-l he felt better within one week. He got much better within a month after another dose of Natrum Muriaticum 1M, and the improvement continued after 4 years.

This drug supplements Bryonia and has the same effect on mucous membranes oral cavity and throat, causing thirst and dryness; on the rectum, causing dry, hard stools; on the vagina - painful intercourse; and on the skin.

Considering the fact that three-quarters of the earth's surface is covered sea ​​water and that the main dry constituent of this water is ordinary salt, and considering also that almost all people require and consume salt, I think Natrum Muriaticum should be a very important remedy for many disease states and should perhaps be used more wide.

In examining Hering's Leading Symptoms, I noted that Natrum Muriaticum is characterized by the presence of cracks in the upper and lower lips, while all compilers Materia Medica emphasized only the presence of a crack in the middle of the lower lip. I wondered how they select and list only some specific single symptoms from a large group of symptoms found in the tests. What criteria do they use to select them? For example, in the trial of Natrum Muriaticum Hering's Leading Symptoms, there are 34 symptoms listed in the Face section. Of these 34, Berike gives 3 symptoms. How did he decide that these three are the most important symptoms out of 34? Does it depend on the own experience of each of the authors?

By the way, biochemist doctors, I think, use Natrum Muriaticum quite extensively. They state that Natrum Muriaticum is a remedy for fluid disorders: excessive fluidity or dryness, for example: lachrymation, diarrhoea, constipation, etc. Having lachrymation or weeping with laughter or laughter ending in weeping.

They claim that Natrum Muriaticum is chilly, but it also experiences< от тепла.

Dr. Daval (senior) always emphasized< от утешения, как очень важный симптом.

Incidentally, Dr. Gutman once told me that Natrum Muriaticum does not have dreams of robbers, as stated in Allen's Encyclopedia. This symptom has Nat rum With arbonicum.

It is indicated that Natrum Muriaticum should not be used during a fever. Dr. Fatak told me that at the beginning of his practice he used Natrum Muriaticum during a fever and found very severe exacerbations. But in my experience I can say that the appointments did not bring exacerbations.

Some people say that Natrum Muriaticum is a good remedy in cases of high A / D. Do you know what these patients are experiencing?< от соли. К слову, мы видели множество пациентов с различными заболеваниями, состояние которых улучшалось только путем ограничения потребляемой соли. Обычно это ограничение, накладываемое многими аюрведическими врачами.

I dealt with one case where a patient could not forget the evil done against him. He walked and thought about revenge. Patients reflect on long-standing grief and resentment. It seems that they like to mentally be in the past as well as the patient Ignatia like to be sad.

Kent says that Natrum Muriaticum is required when a girl falls in love with a married man or a person of no equal status. This is indeed a very characteristic indication for a remedy. I have seen this in my own practice.

"An uneducated Muslim girl in her 20s was brought to me by her attending physician for various symptoms, including depression, indifference to life, etc. During the first examination, which took place in the presence of her doctor, I could not find out the cause of her condition. But when she came again with her mother, I learned that the girl was desperately in love with a man who was more educated with a relatively higher status. To my inquiries, I was told that the object of love was the doctor himself, who brought her to me, although he himself was not aware of her feelings for him. The girl knew that her love could never succeed. I gave her Natrum Muriaticum and she returned to normal again."
