INTRODUCTION

“Common salt” which we ingest almost at every meal. But before it’s proving can anyone believe that the thing they consume in every meal can possibly be any curative value.

A salt represents the union of two qualities which balance each other and together are appropriate in certain life situations. Of the two components of a salt, the cations need to form a relationship while the anions sometimes seem to repel a relationship. And  NAT.MUR contain both the elements of the salt Sodium (cation) and Chlorine (Anion) and it expressed together in a patient, in the same situation need to form relationship and at the same time the ability to withstand rejection.

Natrum Muraticum or sodium chloride or common or table salt is one of the schussler’s twelve tissue remedy. He stated that the salts which remain after combustion form an essential part of every cell even if they are only present in extremely small quantities and that any change in their proper quantitative will disturb normal cell function and cause disease.

• AFFECTIONATE- Affection beyond normal limit which may be cause a concern.

clingy children will always be afraid of losing the one they love, and will lavish affection on them in the same way that their parents lavished it upon them. The clingy Natrum child loves to look after others. She has been taught this by her dependent parent.

The closed Natrum  does not talk about how he feels, since he know that he will not be understood and he is right. He has not learned to cut off from his feeling entirely yet and so he tends to seek solitude, rather than have to pretend that he is happy. He does not want to admit either to himself or to anyone else that he hurts inside. It hurts even more when he admit it.

All these rubrics contain NAT-Mur drug.

 The characteristic of the tearful Nat. m. patient is that she (or he) wants to be alone; any attempt to console irritates beyond endurance. Very much inclined to weep and be excited.” There are even tears with laughter. For in addition to the sadness there is hysterical laughter; laughs till she weeps at things not at all ludicrous                      

There is no moaning or crying in front of others – merely occasional sighing perhaps. This internal state continues until she finally breaks down. Then there is uncontrolled, hysterical sobbing.

CONCLUSION
Repertory is a connecting link between Materia Medica and Disease. Materia Medica is like an ocean full of pearls which cannot be reached out without a suitable device.

The aim of the repertory is never to replace the Material Medica. Through this type of study  we can read any drug under different rubrics and also comparison of these with other drugs simultaneously.
