Recover naturally after influenza with homeopathic Natrium Salicylicum. Supports relief in vertigo, tinnitus, mental fog, and fatigue - restoring balance and clarity.
Natrium Salicylicum (Salicylate of Sodium) is particularly effective for patients experiencing after-effects of influenza, Meniere’s disease or labyrinthine vertigo, and certain forms of mental or mood disturbance, such as incipient dementia and somber insanity-alternating states. Each of these conditions aligns strongly with the medicine’s characteristic actions as described in Boericke’s materia medica.
1. After-effects of Influenza
Natrium Salicylicum is one of the best remedies for patients who suffer from extreme prostration, lassitude, drowsiness, and listlessness after influenza (“grippe”). The medicine helps with lingering weakness and nervous exhaustion that follow viral infections, particularly when the patient feels profoundly drained of vitality, tremulous, and unable to recover their usual mental or physical energy. These symptoms are frequently reported post-flu and fit the remedy’s profile, especially when traditional recovery measures do not restore strength.
2. Meniere’s Disease and Auditory Vertigo
Patients with Meniere’s disease, characterized by vertigo, deafness, tinnitus (especially of low tone), and a loss of bone conduction in the inner ear, benefit from Natrium Salicylicum. The medicine targets disturbances in the internal ear, particularly where there is a sensation that objects move to the right, alongside headaches and confusion. This suite of symptoms aligns itself with labyrinthine dysfunction—where dizziness, ringing in the ears, and hearing changes predominate. The remedy is also noted to relieve auditory vertigo and associated complaints.
3. Incipient Dementia and Mental Disturbance
Natrium Salicylicum is advised for cases where periods of rationality alternate with manifestations of insanity of a somber character, or early-stage dementia symptoms. This includes not only cognitive confusion and dull headache but also behavioral changes and mood instability. The medicine’s profile highlights its use for both acute and insidiously developing neuropsychiatric symptoms—especially when these are accompanied by other features of circulatory or metabolic disturbance (such as headache, lassitude, or tremor).
