Homoeopathy Awareness Week - Case Study 1

Homoeopathy Awareness Week - Case Study One!

Some years ago I was dealing with a case where the teenage patient was very much affected by the divorce of the parents. There were suicidal thoughts and eating disorders where the patient was trying to starve to death. 

The patient appeared to be very closed and didn't want to talk at all about any problems. One thing that was submitted was that there was a strong craving for table salt. The whole symptom picture of the patient fitted the remedy picture of Natrum-muriaticum, a homoeopathic preparation of table salt, very well as I found after working through the case. 

The remedy was administered and taken. At the follow up consultation the patient was starting to talk about the problems which caused the symptoms. Natrum-muriaticum was still indicated and another dose was given. At the next follow up consultation the patient was even crying and admitted that there were huge problems. That was the start of a good working relationship between the patient and me and the patient opened up in this safe and caring environment.

Opening up helped the patient to move on. This process took some time but today the patient is a strong, independent person enjoying life to the full.

This case was admitted with full consent and approval of the patient.
