What does Natrum Muriaticum mean on a homeopathic label?

Natrum Muriaticum is the Latinised homeopathic name linked with sodium chloride as source material. The potency may appear as 6X, 30C, 200C or another label. That number describes the preparation scale, not the amount of dietary salt a person needs. Do not change salt intake, diuretics or blood-pressure medicines because of a remedy name.
