Natrum mur. in Acutes-- Dr. Leela D’Souza |
 |
|||
| Introduction:
Acute cases are exciting, because one can experience the magic of
homeopathy and be totally convinced of its power. Below are cases
to help you work out your own analysis and see what remedy you come
up with. Then you can compare with the analysis and remedy given.
It always helps to sharpen ones acute prescribing skills as that's
where one can easily convince people that homeopathy works! CASE 1. 65yr old Man, with Acute Indigestion. Mr. DBS called me one day and complained of indigestion which included a feeling of weakness and thirst for small quantities of cold water. He had vomited 2-3 times immediately after eating, but without any preceeding sensation of nausea. Occassionally he felt nauseated after eating in the afternoon. With this he felt reluctant to eat. Based on these symptoms, he was prescirbed Ars Alb and said he felt better with 2-3 doses of Ars Alb 30C. No vomiting, his appetite was back and weakness mostly gone. 4-5 days later he called bak to tell me that inspite of having a normal stool in the morning, he had a second soft stool with offensive flatus in the evening. He felt a complete loss of appetite with flatulence and distention in the abdomen that made him very uncomfortable. This sensation was better after the evening stool, which also improved his appetite and he was able to eat a little bit at night. Another symptom he mentioned was frequent eructations. These eructations were very small and felt incomplete. They increased the uncomfortable sensation in his abdomen. The only concomittant at the start of the second set of symptoms was a drowsiness which made him sleep almost through the whole day. Follow Up: With one dose of the remedy in 30C, he felt completely better. His energy improved, the stools were normal, appetite improved and there was no distention or eructations any more. He called me the next day telling me he felt very fit and completely cured of this digestive problem that was troubling him over the last 10 days.

STOMACH; ERUCTATIONS; General; ineffectual and incomplete (K491, G419) (Flatulence, sensation of) Discussion: This patient was already on chronic treatment with me for other problems. He had responded very well to a few doses of Staphysagria and most of his problems had disappeared over the last 6 months. He continues to be helped in his chronic problems with Staphysagria, so one could safely state that it is his Constitutional remedy. When Nat Mur came up on the acute analysis, it was a bit of a surprise to me as I have not known Nat Mur to have this type of presentation. His quick and permanent response obviously meant that it was a very well indicated similimum for that state. Though I have often seen Nat Mur come up in relationship to Staphysagria as a "Remedy that Follows well", and is often complementary to it, using it as an acute instead was new to me. It reminded me of the need to remain open and unprejudiced about all remedies and their action. Always, we need to take the presenting characteristic symptoms and modalities for analysis with NO preconcieved notions when making a decision about the indicated similimum.
