NATRUM NITRICUMLiquid

Natrum nitricum is a deeply acting homoeopathic medicine prepared from the solution of chemically pure Sodium Nitrate (NaNO₃) that exerts its influence on the composition of the blood and mucous secretions, showing efficacy in states of chronic exhaustion, sluggish bowel function, anemia, nervous irritability, and otologic affections. It acts notably on conditions involving poor circulation, chilly sensations, flatulent colic, and obstinate constipation, often accompanied by marked weakness, pressing pains, and disturbances in hearing or balance.
