This produces hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate as end products. Another important role outside medicine is played by sodium sulfate as a filler in detergents.

Fields of application in naturopathy

[Natrium sulfuricum]

Natrium sulfuricum for rheumatic forms

Natrium sulfuricum stimulates the cells to detoxify and it purified the intercellular space. Rheumatism is caused by a slagging of the body, which promotes inflammation. Because sodium sulfate supports the elimination of these waste products, the body can cleanse itself and the cause of the increased tendency to inflammation disappears.

Natrium sulfuricum for digestive disorders

Indigestion and diarrhea are often related to an overload of the active digestive glands such as the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. Sodium sulfate stimulates these glands, promotes their secretion capacity and cleanses the intestines so that the environment can return to normal. The digestive processes can run better again and phenomena such as constipation and diarrhea recede.

Natrium sulfuricum for skin rashes

Many skin rashes are metabolic. In this case, the body uses the skin as an additional excretory organ for detoxification and purification. Natrium sulfuricum further stimulates the cleansing of the cells and supports the liver in its detoxification capacity. As the waste products are eliminated, the skin is relieved and the rashes recede.
