Natrum Muriaticum homeopathy drug symptoms from Handbook of Materia Medica and Homeopathic Therapeutics by T.F. Allen, of the homeopathic remedy Natrum Muriaticum…


      Pure table salt is triturated for use.

General Action

      In general a scorbutic cachexia, with marked tendency to an unhealthy skin and catarrh of mucous membranes. (Eruptions, ulcerations, altered secretions.). It produces constipation, but increases the secretion of urine. It causes delayed and scanty menstruation and in most cases produces a well-marked depression of spirits amounting even to melancholia. Its power to rid the system of malarial poisoning is abundantly verified, and in numerous cases of malnutrition presenting peculiarities similar to the drug it has restored the tone of the system.
