Natrum Phosphoricum 527 NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM (Phosphate of Sodium) Natrum Phos is a compound present in the blood, muscles, nerves, brain tissue and various secretions of the human body. It keeps the sugar level balanced and is very good for the treatment of high blood sugar. However, its general symptoms include nervous tension and its related ill effects, mental disposition, fear and anger. Furthermore, Natrum Phos is very effective against the diseases resulting from moral transgression and inappropriate sexual conduct during the youthful years. Usually it is given in 6X potency. If the desired results are not produced with 6X, then it becomes necessary to give the remedy in potency 30 or 200 or sometimes even in higher potency. Natrum Phos has a deep relationship with the formation of red cells in the blood, although Ferrum Metallicum or Ferrum Phos are the actual remedies for treating the deficiency of red blood cells. However, sometimes these remedies by themselves are not effective. When Ferrum Phos and Ferrum Met are given in combination with Natrum Phos, this becomes a very good treatment for iron deficiency anaemia. For the treatment of iron deficiency, at the beginning, Ferrum Phos, Kali Phos or Calcarea Phos should be given. These are the best treatment for iron deficiencies in pregnant women. However, they should not be used continuously. After being used for some time, they should be stopped and then given again. If this formula does not work and the blood deficiency in women, whether pregnant or not, needs to be corrected, then Natrum Phos should also be added. Natrum Phos is very useful in the treatment of both blood deficiency and diabetes. One symptom of Natrum Phos is that the patient does not like open air. The patient of Natrum Phos, like that of Sulphur, dislikes taking a bath and there is a tendency to permanent nasal catarrh. Hunger is unbearable and satisfied only by taking a lot of food. The patient does not like greasy heavy foods, vinegar, fruit and milk, etc. The dislike for fatty foods resembles Pulsatilla.
