Natrum muriaticum. [Nat-m]
The headache of Natrum muriaticum is as if there were little hammers beatings in the skull, worse from moving the head or eyeballs. It comes on in the morning, is worse about 10 A.M. and is preceded by partial blindness, as we found under Iris and Gelsemium. The little hammer sensation is also found under Psorinum. Natrum muriaticum, as well as Calcarea phosphorica, is an excellent remedy for certain headache in school girls during menses. A malarial basis for a headache will sometimes suggest this remedy. Calcarea phosphorica. Headache in school children and especially in those who are maturing and anaemic; headache on top of head. Ignatia suits highly nervous and sensitive temperaments and those whose nervous system has given away to anxiety, grief or mental worry. The headache generally centers around the region of the ear and runs up to the parietal bone or occiput, leaving a stiffness of the nape of the neck, profuse urination relieving. It has also as before stated the clavus hystericus.
