Aurum muriaticum natronatum (Aur‑m‑n.)

Aurum muriaticum natronatum (Aur‑m‑n.) appears in 354 rubrics in the Repertorium. Of these, 4 are single rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 8 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis is on Ailments from grief and loss, on Fear, Sadness and Death, and on Suicidal disposition. From them results the picture of a person who cannot get over a loss and whose thoughts turn toward death.

Loss and grief

Most evident is the connection between loss and suffering. The rubric "Ailments from" is with 26 entries the largest group, and at its center is the death of loved ones. Two rubrics narrow it to parents or friends, and a single rubric names the mother alone: "Ailments from – death of loved ones – parents or friends, of – mother, of". Grief and mourning, sadness and weeping fill further rows. A single rubric hints at how offense can work: grief and offense lead to a sly, cunning nature.

Thoughts of death

Striking is the relation to dying itself. Alongside fear of death stand rubrics in which thoughts of death give the person joy and pleasure, and one in which she becomes glad when thinking of death. Suicidal disposition is represented with eight entries. The person shows indifference toward her own recovery. This can be read as a turning away from life that stems less from despair than from exhaustion.

Withdrawal and times

In the evening in bed the person dwells on past unpleasant events. Before the menses, mind and thinking become dull and confused. On love the Repertorium records only one small rubric: love for the wrong person.

Summary

In the Repertorium Aurum muriaticum natronatum appears as a remedy of a life loss that has aftereffects: a grief, above all for the mother, persists, the sadness is extended into thoughts of death, and the desire for recovery flags.
