Homeopathic Remedies

NATRUM MURIATICUM: Sodium chloride. Common Salt. Trituration. Solution.

Where there is intractable constipation, no stool for days due to inactivity of the bowel. Small hard round black balls is all that is passed.The Opium patient has "never been well since fright or shock" and the system has gone into spasm. I was once on a trip back from France to the UK on a very stormy day which blew up into a fierce hurricane. We all feared for our lives and a trip that should have been 1/2 hour lasted for 4 hours, pitching and rolling with all cupboard contents falling out on to the passengers. Everywhere people were screaming with fright, vomiting and trying to get out of the Hovercraft. I thought I would never see my children again. For weeks afterwards I could not go to the toilet and eventually was reminded of Opium. I took it and the following day was greatly relieved! My panic disappeared never to return again.
