3. Natrum comes under 3rd row and 1st column in
periodic table.
Natrum comes under
group 1.
C/S ALKALI METALS.
The alkali metals are soft
and easy to cut.
They have low melting
points which decreases
down the group.
Reactivity of the metals
increases down the
group.

4. As you can see the outer shell of sodium has only one
electron, which is responsible for the reactivity of the
sodium.
In order to achieve the
noble gas configuration,
sodium can give up it’s
last electron to make a
bond with chlorine.

5. Dr. R. Sankaran’s
view
In Na+ stress is on individual
relation on 1:1 basis whereas
in kali it is more reactive and
has 1: group/ family.
● Dr Sankaran examines this group from their position in the
periodic table. NATRUM, KALI, MAGNESIUM & CALCIUM are
cations and they have the tendency to give one electron to
become stable. Because of this feeling, they have the feeling
of being incomplete.
● The anions on the other hand, have excess electrons; they
have to accept more electrons to be stable. Such elements (
such as phosphorus, sulphur, etc.) too feel the need for a
relationship, but they have to make a lot of effort to keep the
relationship.

6. English- Sodium
French- Carbonate
Greek- Natrium.
Symbol: Na
Group: IA
Series: 3
Atomic Number: 11
Atomic Weight: 23
Nomenclature

7. USES
It is used in the manufacture of sodium cyanide & sodium
peroxide, synthetic detergents, sodium hydride and
sodium borohydride.
Used in production of dyes, synthesis of perfumes, organic
reductions.
The most important and familiar sodium compound is sodium
chloride, or common salt, NaCl.
Its use in the manufacture of chlorine and sodium hydroxide by
electrolytic decomposition and in the production of sodium
carbonate (Na2CO3) by the Solvay process.

8. The 5 Best Sources of Sodium in Food
BEETROOT:-
pickled beetroot has highest amount of 200mg compared to raw and canned beets.
Beetroot also contains potassium, which helps curb the body’s adverse effects of high sodium.
Therefore, it is a healthy yet great choice to provide your body with its sodium requirement to
regulate blood pressure.

11. Doctrine of signature

12. 1. Sodium is highly reactive because of its electronic configuration.
Stability → → → lose its electron →→ → to combine with an anion to
form an element.
This shows their extreme dependency and need for one to one relationship.
2. It is very difficult to find Na+.
Naturally it is present in crystalline form, mainly by bonding with
chlorine as SODIUM CHLORIDE.
Therefore, natrums are completely dependent on their partners to give
them identity.
They need lots of love, care and nurturing from partner.

13. 3. As salt gives flavour to our food excess of which can also harm us.
Salt needs to be carefully added in the dish. →→→ exactly like this is the
mind of natrums….
This is the basic idea behind their DIGNITY. They think without them
nothing can happen.
4. Because of their strong bond with partner, they will do whatever
their partner wants, decides and chooses for them.
Natrum looks for a kind of romantic love where they expect the other
person to know it and fulfill it. THEY EXPECT LOVE.

14. Sodium plays an important role in cell injury.
When an injury occurs
sodium moves into the
cell.
Causing rise intra cellular
sodium levels.
Sodium holds water
along with this.
This explain the introvert,
reserved, protective
nature of natrum.
This also explains *their
tendency to hold things
up.*

15. Dr Scholten has adopted group analysis method to
understand compound salts.
He says that the essential
themes of natrum are:
• Grief
• Being closed and alone
• Restriction, denial and
prohibition.
• Sensitive and vulnerable
• Inclination to withdrawal
(model).
They get stuck in past.
They keep their problems
inside; they are closed and do
not feel like talking.
They can also have the feeling
that it is forbidden to be happy.
They feel much have been taken
from them (relate with slide -4)

16. As per him…
In group analysis, Dr Scholten links muriaticum to mother and carbonicum to father. His
concept for natrum mur are:-
NATRUM MURIATICUM
Sadness & depression self- pity
Closed, alone care
Restriction nurturing
Denial, forbidden mother
Sensitive attention
Holding on self awareness.
No mother and no care; thus the delusion that his mother is dead. Nat mur could be
needed for mothers who are strict and cold; who feel that it is bad to spoil children.
Nat mur is the one which has the feeling of being alone in the world.

17. NATRUM CARBONICUM
Sadness & depression giving meaning
Closed, alone stating values
Restriction self- worth
Denial, forbidden dignity
Sensitive shyness
Holding on father/worker
*would rather be alone in dignity than feel denied by others.
*has no father, abandoned by father.
*Forsaken feeling

18. NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM
Sadness & depression communicative
Closed, alone sympathetic
Restriction friends, acquaintance, neighbours
Denial, forbidden Brothers
Sensitive homesickness
Holding on curiosity/ travel
*Communication is forbidden- they walk around with secret.
1. Feeling that they have something which they are not allowed to share with others,
thus they carry the heavy burden of the secret.
2. Communication is very sensitive and refined; could mean culturally delicate with
respect to other people’s feelings.
3. Feel lonely and depressed as they go their own way.
4. This could be the situation: an only child, not having friends, loss of friend, moving
house.

19. NATRUM NITRICUM
Sadness & depression enjoyment
Closed, alone need for space, expansion
Restriction going out
Denial, forbidden congestion, explosive
Sensitive tension
Holding on relaxation
• Theme is not being able or not being allowed to enjoy life. Their attitude is
puritan. “Enjoyment is sinful”.
• People who enjoy things only when they are alone.

20. NATRUM FLUORATUM
Sadness & depression glamour & glitter
Closed, alone Money, cars, clothes
Restriction sex
Denial, forbidden Hard, fast, hurried
Sensitive psychopathic
Holding on superficial contacts.
● First theme is forbidden sex & most extreme taboo is incest. This makes it difficult, if not
impossible for them to talk about it and have to deal with it themselves.
● Variations of theme: feel alone in their sexual experiences.
● The sexual act may bring up such feelings of loneliness that they may start crying; eventually
they like to avoid this contact.
● They feel alone in their glittering career though build good contacts to relieve this loneliness.
● They believe such contacts are only superficial & meaningless;
● hence remain reserved.

21. As per Dr. Roberts
“The general state of mental depression and gloominess characterizes the NATRUM GROUP.
It seems as if they almost delight in making themselves and others miserable by looking on
the dark side; by their strong aversion to consolation; and their alternating gaiety and
gloom.
Profound action is seen on:
1. mental state
2. physical functions
3. chemistry of fluids
4. pathology of organs.”
