Aurum muriaticum natronatum - Double chloride of Gold and Sodium. Chloro-aurate of Soda.

-GEORGE VITHOULKAS
The essential features
Aurum muriaticum natronatum is another member of the Aurum family that primarily affects the sexual-hormonal balance in women. Its sphere of action is not entirely known, but we do have some indications from which we can draw certain conclusions.
This remedy initially excites the organism causing congestion and/or irritation of the uterus and ovaries, ulceration of the uterus, endometritis, inflammation of the ovaries, profuse and premature menses, habitual abortion, etc. As may easily be understood, it also increases the sexual passions in women, occasionally resulting in nymphomania. You may for instance have a case of a woman who has very much enjoyed an illicit love affair with a married man; she has thoroughly enjoyed the erotic contact, but at a certain point she finds that she has to give up the relationship, for one reason or another, and that she has to repress her sexual desire. The production of the hormones that were flowing exuberantly before is then repressed, to the point where they are almost petrified; similarly, we then see at this stage a petrification of the uterus. This organ becomes hardened, full of fibroids and tumors, while at the same time the desire diminishes and becomes deficient; eventually very little of the previous fire remains.
Fibroids are generally formed in this manner in an Aur-m-n. case. If the uterus, full of small or big fibroids, is so congested that it can no longer expand to become a fit organ for the development of a foetus, and if this is the result of the repression or arrested development of the female hormones, whether through the process described above or through any other, you may be faced with an Aurum muriaticum natronatum case. In a similar case, a gynaecologist had advised the adoption of a child as the patient had been married for 15 years without conception. The uterus was so full of fibroids that it could not expand and it was probable that an abortion took place now and then indicated only by a delay in the menses.
In my experience these people are sensitive, refined and are subject to many fears, so that you will often confuse them with Phosphorus. There is especially an inner fear that something bad will happen at any moment, giving you the feeling that they are fragile, and need protection. They will look unprotected and helpless, they will go into a panicky state, but inwardly they are quite strong and not yielding. You will be very sympathetic towards them, though they will not be attached or sympathetic towards you, as a real Phosphorus can be.
Because Phosphorus also has the tendency to produce fibroids, it is almost certain that these patients will receive Phosphorus as a first prescription. The difference is that these patients do not have the openness of Phosphorus, neither the emotional warmth. They are refined, sensitive, perceptive, even magnetic but they do not exhibit the openness of Phosphorus nor its effortless communication. On the contrary they are reserved, timid and rather closed on first contact. With this oversensitive nature, you will also perceive an element of sadness in their background.
It is unlikely that you will see a case of Aur-m-n. in the excitement stage, with the following exceptions: inflammation of the uterus, endometriosis, inflammation of the ovaries or salpinx, puerperal mania with sexual excitement and suicidal impulses.
You will usually see these cases after the stage of excitement has passed to the depression stage, where the uterus starts being sclerosed, hardened and swollen. In this stage there is amenorrhoea, scanty and delaying menses, deficient sexual desire, sterility from the hardened uterus or from ovarian torpor, ovarian dropsy etc.
This remedy apparently has a most pronounced effect on the female organs, and most of its clinical application has been limited to this area. It has more power over uterine tumours than almost any other remedy, not only among the Aurums, but in the whole Materia Medica, especially when the history of the patient is similar to the one I described. This remedy has a pronounced effect on the following: Enormous induration of an ovary. A uterus full of fibroids. Ossified uterus. Induration of one part, softening of another part of the uterus. Scirrhus or carcinoma of breast or uterus. Corrosive leucorrhoea; pustules on genitals. Chancres; ulcers; warts. Bubo.
The mental state of Aurum-m-n. can be one of claustrophobia and anxiety for the future. If these women are hurt they will be inclined to go into deep depression, especially if they are hurt in connection with a love affair. A woman, while having an affair, puts on some extra weight and the man remarks about it. The effect upon her is so great that she loses her appetite, she goes into depression, she wants to disappear from the face of the earth. The depression is such that she does not want to come out of it, she just cannot care whether she recovers or not. She can go into a secluded mood. After such periods are repeated several times you realise that this is a state of anorexia nervosa with suicidal depression, pain in the stomach, nausea, loss of appetite and constipation, or severe constipation, like hydrastis.
