NATRUM SULPBURICUM (GLAUBER’S SALT, SODIUM SULPHATE) – INTRODUCTION
The German chemist J. R. Glauber discovered this salt in 1658 and it still bears his name today. Although it is water-soluble, it is absorbed with difficulty by the intestines and, if its curative powers are to be utilised, it has to be taken in biochemical trituration and attenuated to the sixth decimal potency. Only then is Natrum sulpburicum fully absorbed, benefiting the body without any side effects.
One of its important merits is that it increases the secretion of bile into the duodenum, thus aiding the digestion generally and that of fats in particular. Its action also extends to the blood. In cases of haemophilia, a disease characterised by loss or impairment of the clotting ability of blood, so that even a minor cut or injury can put the patient at risk of bleeding to death if the right action is not taken, Natrum sulpburicum will improve the condition. Naturally, it must be taken over a long period of time; moreover, its effectiveness is enhanced when Millefolium (yarrow) is taken at the same time.
