Natrum Sulphuricum 531 NATRUM SULPHURICUM Natrum Sulph, which is made of two elements i. e. Sodium and Sulphur, has the ability to produce important internal body changes. It is intimately related to the liver and is very useful in diabetes. Natrum Sulph given once or twice a week, in potency 200, along with Calcarea Phos, Kali Phos and Natrum Phos, three to four times a day in 6X potency, has proven to be a widely effective formula for diabetes. Sometimes all these four remedies can be given in 6X potency with good results. The symptoms of Natrum Sulph appear before midnight. In wet weather the symptoms become worse. Natrum Sulph patients are of very sensitive nature, physically as well as mentally. They are extremely sensitive to pain that is relieved on movement. The entire body seems to be hurting. The catarrhal conditions become more pronounced during spring. Natrum Sulph is an excellent homoeopathic remedy to protect against deep internal ill effects of a head injury. Natrum Sulph, in combination with Arnica, is very useful for the treatment of an old head injury. During birth , sometimes, the baby’s head comes under severe pressure. Such babies must immediately be given Natrum Sulph through the mother’s milk, so that the ill effects of the pressure may be averted and the child saved from becoming mentally deficient. Natrum Sulph is also the best remedy for asthma , particularly in those patients, whose asthma becomes worse in humid weather. It starts with the nasal catarrh, which soon becomes worse and then invades the chest, leading to the onset of asthma. The cough with a lot of phlegm is accompanied by severe difficulty in breathing. The phlegm (expectoration) is whitish and sticky. The patient becomes short of breath on slight movement or walking. In Natrum Sulph, there is a tendency of mole formation on the entire body. Eczema over the head is also a characteristic symptom of Natrum Sulph. Red spots form too. Eyes sensitive to light respond well to Natrum Sulph. The eyes tend to water. If water flows out of one eye, associated with pain at the nape of the neck on the same side, this is an early sign of glaucoma.
