Materia Medica of NATRUM CITRICUM

[HomeoDidact]

Hi,

I will be very grateful for any bit of info on the MM of NATRUM CITRICUM.

I looked everywhere - but found nothing.

Thanks.

Hi Rafy

Another name for Natrium citricum/Sodium citrate is Citric Acid --- which you will find in the
Materia medicas.

Sodium citrate is Na3C6H5O7·2H2O
White crystals used in photography, also as an anticoagulant in blood
for transfusion, and in soft drinks (club soda et al) for sour taste,
and to control acidity in foods.

Citric acid is C6H8O7
Colourless anhydrous translucent crystals -used in *preparation* of
citrates like sodium citrates and potassium citrates etc - also used in
metal polishes, and for sour flavour. Considered nontoxic, it is a
strong organic acid.

But they are not the same chemical.....

I too have no rubrics or MM for natrium citricum

Namaste,
Irene

thanks Irene, for pointing out my error.
I left off the trisodium from the formula.

So, it is Citric acid with trisodium. My reference did not have this clearly labelled and didn't use
my reasoning brain to check it out further and it was in the wee hours.

Sorry Rafy for the wrong steer

If there is no proving of this then you may have to resort to Synthetic prescribing --- using the
picture of Natrums (not just Nat.mur, but the Natrums in general) and the picture of Citric acid and
see if combining them fits your case.Maybe in this vein, also look at the small amount about the rem
Citrus limonum (lemon). Possibly the only info from these are clinical results anyway --- but I may
be incorrect here as well.

From ICR Book 1V F.37

"Synthetic Perceiving
It is, thus, possible to 'perceive' images of the various salts (though the provings of some of
these are grossly deficient) by combining the 'essentials' of the two ions at the most general
level. We may regard it as synthesis at the experimental stage and only the results in practice can
be regarded as an adequate confirmation....."

Scholten has shown a clear way to do this which, when there is no other info, may be very useful.
