Natrum Muriaticum / Nat. Mur. /Nat-m

Formal Name: Natrum Muriaticum / Natrum Chloratum

Also known as Natrum Muriaticum, Nat Mur, Salt, Table Salt, Rock Salt, Sodium Chloride

Nat Mur is a mineral often classified as a key homeopathic remedy. In its natural form before dilution, it is commonly known as table or rock salt, but it is anything but ordinary in its healing powers.

It is best used as a homeopathic remedy for emotional healing and ailments involving a watery discharge.

Historically salt in this form was used as payment as it was known to have such value. It is no surprise that nat mur is considered a potent and valuable homeopathic remedy. It can significantly help with colds but may also be looked to for other ailments, including skin, mouth health, and digestive disorders.

Homeopathic Remedies using Nat Mur

Though nat mur is potentized from sodium chloride, one part of this is essential to the homeopathic remedy offered. The rock salt formed through the crystallization and formation of sodium chloride provides all healing powers. Both sodium chloride and crystallization are used to treat many different disorders.

Benefits/Uses of Nat Mur

Common Cold

The cold may be common, but it is uncomfortable. When the mucus and the runny nose become the consistency of uncooked egg whites, this is when nat mur may be of the most help. Taking Nat Mur will ensure that the runny nose dissipates and that the other symptoms of the cold subside.

Severe Headaches

Though we all may get a headache here and there, this is not the typical run-of-the-mill headache we’re speaking of. This is the type of headache where you feel that your head may burst or that a hammering is happening within your head. Nat mur is an effective homeopathic remedy to help calm these most severe headaches. It is also used to alleviate migraines that develop above the eyes and those with vision problems resulting from them.

Skin Conditions

Skin conditions take all different forms and therefore need a natural remedy to help them to dissipate. Skin conditions and complaints such as warts, hangnails, boils, severe acne, and dry cuticles may be annoying and debilitating. Nat mur is recommended for these skin complaints.

Mouth Problems

If you have ever suffered from a cold sore, you know firsthand how painful and frustrating it can be. That’s not even the worst of them either because other mouth problems, such as ulcers of the mouth and even gingivitis, can be challenging to live with and may even lead to additional health problems. Nat mur works to combat all of these mouth problems and help the body naturally heal.

Women’s Health Issues

Again we see that nat mur helps with another issue where there is a consistency of uncooked egg whites, but this time it is related to women’s health. If a woman is suffering from such a problem, often due to thrush, nat mur is of great help. It also works quite well as a homeopathic remedy for issues associated with menstruation, such as severe headaches, general unwell feelings before or during a woman’s monthly cycle, a dry or sore vagina, or painful sexual intercourse.

Digestive Disorders

Digestive disorders may plague us in a variety of different ways. Nat mur can be particularly helpful in cases with indigestion, hard stools, constipation, and even bleeding anal fissures that may often come about due to digestive disorders. It is also advantageous for those who suffer from nausea and severe abdominal pain, as well as given to colicky babies.

Emotional Problems

Another feature of nat mur is that it is beneficial for emotional issues as well as the physical issues listed above. We see it offering the most benefits as a homeopathic remedy for those emotional issues brought on by grief. It can benefit a woman who has missed her monthly cycle due to emotional problems.

Homeopathic Remedy Profile for Nat Mur

The typical profile for somebody who may benefit the most from nat mur is that of a sensitive and refined individual. They may be very set in their ways and therefore aren’t always open to an outside perspective. They may feel insulted or easily wounded by the opinions or potential insults of others around them. They tend to be somewhat impatient overall and can therefore come across as abrupt. These are typically very serious people and tend to be quite moody throughout a typical day. Though they like the company of others, they tend to impose loneliness upon themselves.
