Natrium Muriaticum – 20g

The salt for Fluids Balance

It is found in all tissues and body fluids. It regulates the balance of fluid in the body’s cells, and is important for the division of cells (i.e. formation of new cells) and the production of gastric juices. The renewal of cells including red blood cells does not take place without Sodium Chloride. It is necessary for the all-around functioning of nerves and muscles. It is indicated in gastrointestinal complaints like diarrhoea and vomiting.

Where It Works

Against dry skin and mucous membranes (recognized by dry eyes); watery to oily diarrhoea, constipation, gastric catarrh with watery vomit; watery, runny nose (chronic or acute), sudden watering of the eyes (e.g. in the wind); swelling (oedema) arising from different causes, such as insect bites; toothache with flow of saliva; skin rash with small blisters containing watery fluid (such as herpes); depression with weeping spells; general weakness and loss of strength; rheumatic complaints.

Supports clinical treatment for frequent diarrhoea or frequent vomiting.

Visual Analysis

In General: eyes that water in the wind; dry skin, dry conjunctiva. The patient appears bloated; a tendency to “orange-peel” skin (cellulite).

Face: the skin has a dull, gelatinous sheen; the eyes appear watery; greasy line on the lids (greasy lower eyelid, as though smeared with fat), especially noticeable when the eyes look up; runny nose, nose and forehead damp and glistening.

Tongue: clean, with slimy streaks (as though a snail has crawled over it); occasionally the saliva is foamy, especially on the rim of the tongue; damp tongue, also abundant saliva which has an effect on pronunciation; now and then a salty taste in the mouth.

Dosage

Infants: one tablet (dissolved into a mash with a small amount of water and applied on the lips) once or twice a day.

Children aged 2 to 8: 2 tablet two to three times a day.

Children aged 9 to 13: 3 tablet three times a day.

Adults: 4 tablets three to four times a day.

Children and adults keep the tablets in the mouth until they have dissolved. This allows the active ingredient to be completely absorbed by the mucus membranes of the mouth, which is very important and is part of the healing plan.
