Cell Salt #11: Nat Sulph (Sodium Sulfate)

Overview: Sodium sulfate is an inorganic salt found in the intercellular fluids of the body. Its primary role is to regulate water levels in tissues, blood, and bodily fluids. A deficiency in sodium sulfate can hinder the removal of excess water produced by the oxidation of organic matter, while sodium chloride helps distribute water effectively within tissues. Sodium sulfate manages the amount of water by eliminating any excess that may accumulate for various reasons.

In hot weather, when moisture is present, the heat holds water in the air, allowing it to enter the bloodstream through the lungs. Individuals with weak digestion may be more susceptible to so-called malarial issues because their circulation cannot remove the excess water from the blood due to insufficient sodium sulfate. Chemically speaking, one molecule of sodium sulfate can carry out two molecules of water from the body.

Biochemistry shows that conditions like chills and fever, cholera, yellow fever, and other heat-related ailments arise from excess water in the blood and intercellular fluids. These issues often result from digestion and absorption being unable to provide enough sodium sulfate to eliminate the surplus water inhaled through the lungs.

As a key player in the body’s chemistry, sodium sulfate works with water to maintain the proper consistency of bile and pancreatic juice, regulate water levels in intercellular fluid, and remove excess water from the blood.

Symptoms and Conditions: Symptoms generally worsen in the morning and during damp, rainy weather, while improvement is seen in dry, warm conditions. Complaints can arise from living in damp environments like basements or consuming water-dwelling plants and fish. Symptoms may be aggravated by water intake in any form. Conditions that increase water retention, such as living in low-lying, marshy areas or “ague districts,” can disrupt the balance of sodium sulfate in the body.
