Natrum Muriaticum, or Nat Mur for short is not a remedy that I would be without –from headaches and migraines to skin complaints, from constipationto grief, this remedy is one of the vertebrae of the homeopathic spine.
Very young babies are rarely Nat Mur in constitutionbut can become very suited to this remedy should a sibling come along or should their parents split. Emotional triggers can make Natrum Muriaticum a very useful remedy.Nat Mur kids are very sensitive and emotionally reserved.
They are often more serious than their peers and can even be sad, or as they become older, depressed. If they are upset, they will want to be by themselves to feel better and will push affection or kind words away. This kind of behaviour lasts into adulthood, and can really harden.
As you’d imagine, as this remedy is made from salt, there is a lot of dryness in the picture for the people who need it. They will be thirsty people, but nevertheless, they’ll suffer from dry skin, cracked lips and constipation.They’llalso crave salty food like cheese and crisps.
Nat Mur is a brilliant remedy for headaches and migraines, and it is one to think of immediately if the headaches or migraines began or significantly worsened when there was some kind of emotional event. In a child, this would besomething likeparents separating, or in older children might be a grief or a change of school, then later in life, the trigger might be the ending of an important relationship.
