As we mentioned in previous articles, endometriosis growing somewhere else other than the endometrium also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle by building up tissues, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. As we know, chemical cells salts play a very important role in homeopathy in treating diseases. In this article, we will discuss how natrium muriaticum (sodium chloride, NaC1) helps to treat endometriosis.

I. Definition

Natrium muriaticum is also known as sodium chloride with a chemical structure of NaC1. It has been used in homeopathic medicine in helping water distribution in the body.

II. How natrium muriaticum (sodium chloride, NaC1) effects endometriosis

1. Glandular function
Sodium chloride is said to increase the glandular function, including the liver. Therefore it not only helps the liver in metabolism of carbohydrates for providing energy for the body, but also increases the function of regulating insulin in the intestine thereby it lessens the foods and sugars craved for some women with endometriosis during menstrual cycle.

2. Water retention
Since it helps in water distribution, it helps to improve the lymphatic functions by removing interstitial fluid from the body tissues thereby decreasing the risk of water retention, a common symptom for women with endometriosis.

3. Constipation
Some women with endometriosis may experience menstrual cramps during menstrual cycle caused by endometrial implants or adhesion attached to secretion organs. Sodium chloride helps to moisturize the inner large intestine and move the stool which helps to reduce the abdominal pain.

4. Digestive system
Sodium chloride also helps to improve the digestive system in absorption of vitamins and minerals that are vital for the body because most women with endometriosis are found to have been deficient of essential vitamins and minerals during menstrual cycle.

5. Reduce nervous tension
By improving the liver in protein and fat metabolism, it helps to improve function of cells in the nervous system resulting in lessening symptoms of endometriosis such as headache, poor-quality sleep, fatigue and feelings of hopelessness.
