Characteristics.─
Nat.
carb. is the typical salt of the Natrum
group. It was proved by Hahnemann, and is one of the antipsoric remedies of the Chronic Diseases. In old-school practice its chief uses are as an
external application in solution to burns and eczema, as a douche in nasal or vaginal
catarrh. Nat. c. forms the alkaline basis in most soaps,
and most persons know by experience the effect of using soap with an excess of alkali. It
almost burns off the superficial layers of the epidermis, and leaves the skin dry and
cracked. The provings, whilst developing in Nat. c. a
remedy of polychrest importance, confirms its irritating action, and show Nat. c. to be a true remedy for chapped hands and faces, rough,
dry skins, eczema, herpes, warts and scrofulous conditions of skin. On the mucous membranes
the effects are no less irritating. The whole alimentary tract from mouth to anus is
irritated─vesicles, ulcers, catarrh. In the eyes the irritation goes on
to keratitis and ulceration of cornea. The nose is swollen and ulcerated, with a thick
yellow or green offensive discharge. Thick, yellow, putrid leucorrhśa. The predominant
mental condition of Nat. c. is one of profound sadness,
depression, and melancholy; constantly occupied with sad thoughts; though there is also the
opposite, great gaiety and talkativeness. The hypochondriacal mood is often an accompaniment
of the condition of the digestive mucous membrane. The depression and irritability is < after a meal, the aggravation diminishing as digestion
advances, “as the food passes through the duodenum.”
Such patients, says Farrington, are decidedly averse to society, even that of their own
family. The indigestion is < from vegetables and
starchy foods. < From milk. The tongue has some
characteristic symptoms, notably affection of the under surface and frćnum, and it is so
heavy and unwieldy that the patient has difficulty in speaking. The common practice of
taking Bicarbonate of Soda for indigestion and heartburn is founded on a true relationship
(though Nat. c. is the Carbonate
and not the Bi-carbonate), but the indiscriminate and
excessive use of it only intensifies the trouble. The nearest analogue of Nat. c. in this and in the female sexual sphere is Sepia. The nervous system is strongly affected, and symptoms of
hysteria appear. A leading note is < from exertion,
mental or bodily. Great debility from any exertion; unsteady walk, any little obstruction on
pavement = falling; or he falls without any apparent
cause. There are contractions of muscles and tendons, and also relaxation of tissues.
Ankle-joints are weak and burn. Twitching in muscles and limbs. I have cured with Nat. c. “jerking of hands on going to sleep.” Among the
Peculiar Sensations are: As if head too large. As if
forehead would burst. As if head would be drawn back. As if ears were closed up. As of a
bubble bursting in ear. As if tip of tongue were cracked. Dryness of mouth as if caused by
heat of breath. As if veins of right leg were bruised. Motion as from a fśtus in uterus.
Blisters on points of toes as if scalded. Emaciation, anćmia, bloating are prominent
effects of Nat. c.; as also is swelling and induration
of glands. Nat. c. is suited
to: Light-haired people; persons of leuco-phlegmatic constitution with aversion
to open air, and to exercise, mental or physical. Stitches go from within out. Right upper
and left lower are particularly affected. A peculiar symptom of Nat.
c. is “discharge of mucus after an embrace” in the woman; and sterility
as a result. In Med. Adv., xviii. 248 and 370, are two
cases in point, one cured by J. C. Guernsey and the other by W. Jefferson Guernsey. In both
cases the woman complained that she “could not retain the semen” after the
embrace. Some of the grand keynotes of the remedy are to be found in its modalities.
Prominent among these are < from sun; heat; gaslight.
< From mental exertion; from physical exertion or
strain; from least effort. < From music. Nat. c. has great debility from heat of summer; from chronic
effects of sunstroke, every spell of warm weather =
headache. Headache from sun or working under gaslight. At the same time there is great
aversion to cold air, < from draught of air, change
of clothing, getting wet, drinking cold water, < damp
weather, change of weather. < From storms. Nat. c. has extreme sensitiveness to electric changes. There is
great thirst for cold water, but < on drinking it
(stitches in spleen). < By rest; < lying on left side (palpitation; stitch in back to anus); < sitting. Moving >.
Moving head = cracking in cervical vertebrć. Moving = profuse sweat. Most symptoms come on or are < in morning. “Sinking” 10 to 11 a.m. < On alternate days. <
During full moon. Eating > sinking, < dyspepsia and hypochondriasis. <
From milk; from vegetable diet; from cold drink when over-heated. >
By pressure, rubbing, scratching, wiping with hand. >
Boring into ears and nose with fingers.
