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.
When due to prolonged illness, the body secretions dry up and
the digestive juices
decrease, Natrum Phos does an excellent job of rectifying them.
However, China has clear superiority over Natrum Phos.
Sometimes a part
of the body becomes numb. If the hand, finger or a part of the ear
becomes numb, Natrum Phos is a good remedy.
Similarly Natrum Phos is useful, if the blood rushes to a particular part
of the body. Sudden body
shakes at night and associated sharp pain along the course of the
arteries is also one of the symptoms of Natrum Phos. But in all these
conditions, Natrum Phos will be effective only if it matches the constitution
of the patient. Otherwise, these conditions may resemble several other
remedies, though every one of them cannot be a match. Sometimes, while lying in
the bed, the body may suddenly start to shake violently.
Natrum Phos is very effective in the treatment of weak musculature and nervous tension especially affecting the eye, as well as in the treatment of muscular twitching. Since the patient of Natrum
Phos suffers from hyperacidity in the stomach, it also reflects in the sourness
of their perspiration and on their person. This pungent type of smell does not
remain unnoticed by others.
Sometimes, on hearing some bad news, a patient becomes totally
mute. In
this condition besides others, Natrum Phos produces an immediate benefit,
safeguarding against future dangers. Otherwise, the patient may either become
insane or start having fits of hysteria.
The scalp starts itching
with yellow pimples. Natrum Phos is also effective against eczema over the forehead.
If the head feels heavy and hairs start falling, then Natrum Phos is also
useful. In general, there is no cure for baldness, however, if hair loss is due to a particular
deficiency, then the hair loss may start to improve by itself when
that deficiency is treated. In particular, there is a specific formulary that
has shown extraordinary success in homoeopathy for Alopecia. In Alopecia, the hair on the head
starts to come off in bunches. With appropriate treatment, the hair starts
growing rapidly in a very short period of time.
In Natrum Phos, the headache
becomes worse on mental exertion. The pain begins in the eyes, at the nape of the neck and
temples with pins and needles and burning sensation. Natrum Phos is very
beneficial for
the eyes as well. If while reading, the right eye starts to twitch, Natrum Phos will be especially effective. If some
other symptoms of Natrum Phos are also present, then Natrum Phos will be effective
against squint also.
If on being tired during the day, the patient sees stars dancing before his
eyes, then Rhus Tox is the best, although Natrum Phos may also be effective. In
Natrum Phos, yellowish fluid starts to flow from the eyes, and the eyes also
become yellowish. The eyesight becomes foggy. There is an itching and burning
sensation in the eyelids. The distant vision becomes weak.
The patient hears all sorts of noises in his ears. The hearing either
increases or decreases. There is earache and a pins and
needles sensation behind the ears. Only one ear becomes red, hot and itchy. The Natrum Phos patient generally suffers from cold and catarrh.
Thick secretions stick inside the nose. There is a tendency to sneeze. The sense of smell becomes sharp. There is
irritation in the left nostril causing sneezing and the eyes start watering.
Natrum Phos may be effective to treat the post-nasal drip of yellowish colour.
In Natrum Phos, the gums
bleed. A yellowish crust is formed on the tongue.
The palate becomes yellowish while the mouth and tongue
become dry. Children
grind their teeth at night. The teeth
decay, the cavities in the teeth due to excessive consumption of sugar, respond
well to Natrum Phos
.
Natrum Phos may be useful in the treatment of peptic ulcers of the stomach,
resulting from hyperacidity, associated with throbbing pain and a piercing
sensation over the stomach.The symptom of diarrhoea alternating with constipation is
common to many drugs. If the constitution of such a patient resembles Natrum Phos,
then Natrum Phos alleviates the problem. Intestinal
worms are also treatable with Natrum Phos.
Some children urinate on the bed during the night. For this
symptom, Natrum Phos, when given in combination with Kali
Phos and Natrum Mur, is very effective. If one sweats a lot, then
the urine output decreases. However it is strange that in Natrum Phos
both sweat and urine increase. Natrum Phos may be useful for the treatment of the
diseases of the reproductive organs of both men and women
that are due to diabetes. If the uterus happens to sag from its
normal position, hindering pregnancy, then Natrum Phos can restore the uterus
to its original place and thus promote pregnancy.
Natrum Phos is also good for the treatment of a dry hacking cough, which
starts with a hissing sound in the chest and trachea. A special symptom of
Natrum Phos is that a ‘bubble’seems to originate from the heart region and he
has a feeling of constriction and tightness in the chest. The patient feels
uncomfortable due to fullness in the upper part of the chest. Sometimes, there
is pain also. After eating and on deep breathing, the blood vessels of the
heart are compressed and the heart symptoms can develop. The heartbeat becomes
rapid with anxiety. The noise aggravates the symptoms. Lying on the left side also
aggravates all the symptoms, which are a prelude to heart disease. The palpitations increase on climbing the
stairs. The backache during menstruation responds very
well to Natrum Phos. However, according to my experience, Natrum Phos given in combination
with Kali Phos and Mag Phos is much more effective. Natrum Phos is very useful when the symptoms of tightness at the back,
pain and sweating are more prominent. Natrum Phos may also be useful to control
the cardiac pain felt on both sides of the neck. During menstruation, the hands and feet become cold especially during
the day. Cramps on writing, the feeling of ants crawling over the arms and
legs, the limbs feeling heavy and numb are all the symptoms of Natrum Phos.
There is pain in the joints and a feeling of cramps and weakness in the legs.
The joints crackle (crepitus). Joint pains usually start from the right
shoulder and may sometimes remain limited to the shoulder area only. The whole
body feels abrased. While walking, a
leg may suddenly give way temporarily. Dry
pimples with burning sensation form on the skin, with golden yellow scabs. Red
or yellow spots become visible on the body, as in Ferrum Phos. In Natrum Phos,
the skin becomes pale. There is swelling of the affected area and the skin.
There is a feeling of ants crawling. Moles
also form.
Although the Natrum Phos patient sleeps a lot, the sleep
is never deep. The patient sees
worrisome dreams and may drop asleep while seated in a chair. Sleep overwhelms
the patient after eating food.
