A closer look at homeopathic Natrum mur - to combat everything "dry"

The abnormally dry weather in many parts of the country is expected to extend allergy season and also make it worse for many of us in the United States.  Even though you might not live in an area effected by draught, or extreme dry weather, allergens like ragweed pollen and others can travel on the wind for 400 miles or more, making your allergy season longer and worse as well. 

The first homeopathic remedies you might think of for hayfever and allergies are Allium cepa, Euphrasia and Hydrastis.  We've written about these homeopathic remedies for hayfever here.  Although these homeopathic remedies are each excellent in their own right, one you may not have considered, includes dryness as one of it's main "keynotes", and is also a key ingredient in some leading Hayfever and Allergy combination remedies.  That homeopathic remedy is Natrum mur.

Natrum mur

The cell salt made from sea salt restores a range of imbalances. For colds, sinus pressure, post nasal drip, hay fever and sore throats, the use of Nat mur is indicated by a dry rawness and thickening clearish mucus.

Dryness underlies many of Nat mur's applications. Its colds and congestions have a dry rawness along with thickening clear to whitish mucus. These include colds, hay fever and sinus pressure often marked by profuse nasal discharge, watery eyes, post nasal drip, dry tickling coughs or dry sore throats. Other applications with connections to internal dryness include cold sores, flaky skin, dandruff, cracked lips, fever blisters, eye irritation, vaginal dryness, constipation, incontinence and other acute urinary symptoms.

 On the emotional plane, the dryness becomes idiomatic as Nat mur applies to poorly circulated stress - suppressed grief, humiliation and heartbreaks. Sadness, irritability, anger, sleeplessness and haunting memories tend to dominate. These are most marked in emotional individuals who do not want to express emotions and, though considerate of others, may appear cold as they reject sympathy and actually feel worse with consolation. They often are very sensitive to music and can become quite discontented. They tend to keep troubles to themselves, dwell on unpleasant memories and may become easily offended perfectionists. Whenever a new grief, sadness or even music brings up old griefs as if fresh, Nat mur can help resolve the stress and relieve its effects.

Complaints tend to improve with open air, deep breathing and tight clothing, and worsen with consolation, more emotion, hormonal fluctuations and sunlight (especially headaches). A deep crack in the lower lip and a desire for salty foods further indicate a need for Nat mur.

Euphrasia
This plant earned the name eyebright by the burning eye irritation it can cause, and therefore cure. If the eyes are burning and the nose is running check this one, especially if the only thing worse than the garden is a smoke filled room. May clear your allergy induced cough or headache, too.

Hydrastis
As all autumn hayfever sufferers know, golden seal's bright yellow flower causes (and thus cures homeopathically) thick, yellow, ropy mucus, everywhere and anywhere - even in the spring.

Natrum mur
While this remedy's source, sodium chloride, tends to dry out everything, the homeopathic version is excellent for colds and allergies that start out dry - often with a dry sore throat - and soon develop post nasal drip and cold symptoms as the body makes watery to gel-like mucus to relieve the dryness.
