Formal Name: Natrum Muriaticum / Natrum Chloratum

Also Known As: Salt, Table Salt, Rock Salt, Sodium Chloride

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

It is best used as a homeopathic remedy for emotional healing, as well as those ailments that involve a watery discharge.

Historically salt in this form was used as payment as it was known to have such value. It is of no surprise then that nat mur is looked to as a very powerful and therefore valuable homeopathic remedy. It can be of great help with colds, but may also be looked to for a variety of other ailments including skin problems, mouth health issues, and digestive disorders.

Homeopathic Remedies using Nat Mur:

Though nat mur is potentized from sodium chloride, it is one part of this that is essential to the homeopathic remedy that is offered. It is the rock salt that is formed through the crystallation and formation of sodium chloride that actually offers all of the healing powers. This is what is derived and used for the treatment of many different disorders.

Benefits/Uses of Nat Mur:

Common Cold:

The common cold may form at anytime, but it may quickly turn into an unbearable virus to live with. 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 that we’re speaking of. This is the type of headache where you feel that your head may burst, or that there is a hammering happening right there 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 that involve vision problems as a result of 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 not only be annoying but may also be debilitating as well. Nat mur is recommended for these skin complaints.

Mouth Problems:

If you have ever suffered from a cold sore, then 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 difficult 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 as a result of digestive disorders. It is also advantageous for those who suffer with nausea and severe abdominal pain as well as given to babies who are colicky.

Emotional Problems:

Another feature about 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 be particularly helpful to a woman who has missed her monthly cycle due to emotional issues.

Homeopathic Remedy Profile for Nat Mur:

The typical profile for somebody who may benefit the most from nat mur is that of a very 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 rather impatient people overall and can therefore come across as abrupt in nature. These are typically very serious people and can tend to be quite moody throughout the course of a typical day. Though they like the company of others, they tend to impose loneliness upon themselves.
