Natrum Muriaticum

Natrum Muriaticum – the remedy from the summer blues, seasonal colds and allergies to deep, prolonged, isolating grief….

Homeopathic remedies are so versatile that when you look at the remedy and you ask what this remedy is for, there are so many answers! So many answers and all of them will be correct.

So, where do I start my little Natrum Muriaticum story?

I feel like it was one of the first remedies I was prescribed (I feel because my homoeopath at the time did not tell me the name of the remedy prescribed). I had a prolonged grief at the time, which caused me to have a cough that prevented me from sleeping. Sadness and grief are stored in the lungs according to the Chinese Organ Clock, so it completely made sense. A few doses of Natrum Muriaticum helped me regain my sleep and for the cough to subside.

The grief cannot only affect the lungs, causing a cough, but also other organs related to the lungs and the water element in the body, which is the skin. Skin is the largest organ of the body that expresses the state of our lungs, but is also closely connected to the state of the liver and large intestine.

One of my patients in the early days of my homeopathic practice was diagnosed with late-onset eczema and a gradual increase in sensitivities to products that were causing itchiness and skin discomfort. She tried so many creams and different treatments, and nothing was really helping.During the consultation, it became clear that her symptoms started a few months after her mum passed away and that she was in the Natrum Muriaticum state. A few weeks on the remedy Nat Mur helped to slowly clear her eczema, at first the skin became less reactive and itchy, and after a few months, the symptoms of dryness, discomfort, redness and itchiness went away completely after over 2 years of this struggle.

The skin and the respiratory system, physically and emotionally, are greatly related to Natrum Muriaticum. One of my other patients had seasonal allergies, and they perfectly match Nat Mur symptoms. What happened when the Natrum Muriaticum was prescribed, her allergy symptoms got worse at first, and after speaking about it, I realised that her body wanted to release the suppressed grief in her body, that she was holding onto. With releasing the grief, her allergy symptoms also subsided.

This case illustrates a great law in homoeopathy that we heal from the inside out, and addressing the cause of the symptoms, in this case, suppressed grief, will help to resolve other physical symptoms.

The relation with the water element, I mentioned earlier, and Natrum muriaticum can be observed well when you use Nat Mur in the form of Cell salts. Nat Mur supports water balancing of the body, together with Kalium Phosphoricum and Magnesia Phosphorica and can really help with falling hair and dryness.

It feels like Natrum Muriaticum is a remedy we all will need at some stage of our lives, as it is a sacred essence of life in the form of salt

Let it flow through you so the sacred cell-waters are back to balance.
