Aurum Muriaticum is prepared from a salt of gold (Sodium Chloraurate). The ailments related to it revolve around the heart, and like Aurum Metallicum, affect the liver and heart together. The patient passes urea in the urine. The blood urea is also high. It is also found effective against glandular diseases. On that basis, it is used in cancers of the glands.
If the symptoms present are specific for Aurum Muriaticum, this particular remedy can offer cure even in dangerous cancer.The typical symptom of Aurum Muriaticum is the pain which, wherever it manifests, will be associated with a burning sensation. Symptoms ameliorate in cold, damp environment, but intensify in hot muggy weather. There is a tendency towards committing suicide like Aurum Metallicum but the patient does not like to be aloof and is ill-tempered, irritable, and rather quarrelsome.
Throbbing is a sign of Aurum Muriaticum ailments. Aurum Muriaticum is useful in syphilis-like symptoms of the eyes, associated with decay and destruction of the bones. The vision is decreased in artificial lighting. Thus Aurum Muriaticum would significantly improve eyesight which, although otherwise normal, is blurred in the nightlight.
In Aurum Mur patients, music particularly relieves the ear symptoms. At night, the skin behind the ears burns and itches. Aurum Mur is also very affective against the chronic nasal problems and old nasal catarrh.
In Aurum Muriaticum patient, if the thick scabs in the nose are attempted to be removed, bleeding ensues. The discharge is yellowish-green. Aurum Mur is also reported to be useful in Lupuslike conditions at the margin of the nostrils.
In Aurum Mur, the stools are either greenish or clay coloured. This indicates liver dysfunction. Many a time, the stools are whitish. Stools are more frequent at night, and so is the urination. There may even be bed-wetting at night. Salivation from the mouth is excessive.
Aurum Mur is very effective in the enlargement of the uterus associated with hardening, especially the cervical part of the uterus. Carbo Animalis, Tarentula-Hispania, Lapis Albus are also very useful in cervical problems. When sleeplessness is secondary to mental anguish and associated with a throbbing sensation, Aurum Muriaticum may also be useful (in addition to other Homoeopathic remedies for this condition). Such a patient experiences sadistic or sorrowful dreams. He usually experiences the dream relating to his own ailment. When the disease is too advanced, the dreams are of extreme horror while sorrowful dreams indicate that the illness is in the early stage, and that recovery may be expected soon. Many homoeopaths believe that Pulsatilla and Kali Sulph are similar to Aurum Muriaticum but this is not true.
During early pregnancy, especially if detected on the first day, a single dose of Aurum Mur CM, by Allah’s grace, usually brings about the birth of a son. Delayed use of Aurum Mur is much less predictable. Nevertheless, this is not a sure formula. I have noticed some women have delivered baby girls even after taking Aurum Muriaticum the next morning of the pregnancy, but whose next children were maleborn. In my experience, some women who take Aurum Muriaticum CM may not even conceive sometimes. When they do, their chances of having a baby boy born to them are 80% or even more. Aurum Muriaticum is well-known in this aspect. I receive scores of letters every year to that effect. For instance, a lady wrote to me from Lahore, Pakistan. She and her two sisters-in-law had no male issue. All three used the prescription from the book and each was blessed with a baby boy.
