When I first read something about this remedy, I was very sceptical. It sounded like the homeopathic equivalent of Bach's Rescue Remedy, and so I did not like it. Having already tried Rescue, which has proven very effective, I wondered what use I would have for this new remedy, which came from a book called “Meditative Provings”. The speculative title alone aroused my reservations.
All in all I did not like it, and although it remained somewhere at the back of my mind, I did not prescribe it (or even order it from a pharmacy) until Alize Timmerman reminded me of it again a few years ago. I then slowly began to prescribe it now and then in acute situations, and allowed myself to experiment with a new remedy instead of prescribing only Aconite, Ignatia, Acidum phosphoricum or other first-aid remedies for an emotional trauma.
Then Madeline Evans, who introduced this remedy, gave a lecture at the Hahnemann Institut (in Holland). She clearly stated that all her remedies had been tested not only by meditation but also by traditional provings. This dispelled my last doubts, and I began to prescribe it with more confidence and, probably for that reason, with better results.
I want to present two cases in which the healing power of this remedy is clearly perceptible and yet goes deep. Both show the nature and depth of this remedy, for which I will be forever grateful to Madeline Evans. I hope this wonderful remedy will find its way into your practice as well.
Case 1
A 33-year-old woman made an appointment for listlessness, irritability, nervousness, insomnia, headaches and recurrent colds.
Patient (P): “Lately I have been very irritable, especially at home towards my family. They (the eldest son and my husband) should hurry up more and stop whining! My husband (to whom I have been married for 12 years) and I have two children, two boys: one is five and the other almost four. The younger one has several disabilities that require a lot of time and planning.”
She works part-time in a nursing home organising all kinds of activities. Most residents are mildly demented and have physical disabilities, but she loves her work and has done it for about ten years.
P: “I get a lot of recognition for my work there, which is very important to me; but lately I feel exploited and get nervous quickly. It is a restless nervousness.
I don't know why all this is happening right now. There haven't been any real changes at work, and personally I am not prone to nervousness. That is not part of me, and although I still like my work, I am now always nervous. I also have headaches that I never had before. (Pain at the back of the head, like soreness).
Since last year I have been getting one cold after another. It starts like an ordinary cold, but then develops into a throat infection. Sometimes I lose my voice, and then it is really difficult to function. When I lose my voice I cannot speak anymore and have no say in important matters.
“With our youngest child we must have a firm structure and clear boundaries. Normally that is not a problem for me, as I like to organise and lead a structured life, but when I lose my voice everything falls apart.
Our youngest has a rare neurological condition and cannot walk; he has only limited speech abilities and very weak muscles; he is a few years developmentally behind for his age.
Normally I have more patience. But now I react irritably when people do not cooperate or when something gets in my way.
Until two years ago I rode a motorcycle to relax, but since we had children the risk was too great, so I sold it.”
Although she talks a lot about structure (that is mineral), she gives me the impression that her current state is the result of an acute situation; so I ask her what happened at the time when the colds and her irritability began.
“In April our youngest had to go to hospital because various tests had to be carried out. Because of his health condition he must go to hospital more often for routine checks; sometimes my husband goes with him and sometimes I go. Although he had to stay overnight, this time only a simple examination and a blood sample were scheduled, and I accompanied him. The doctors had not expected major difficulties, but it was awful.
The procedure was very painful, and then we had to wait 2 days for the results. It was a dreadful experience, and I had not only to try to comfort my son, but also for two days, which felt like an eternity, to lock my feelings away inside. My husband was not there, and nobody understood me! I was furious and felt helpless, but when I tried to explain it to my husband he didn't understand either” (she obviously has difficulty controlling her emotions while recounting this). “I was completely alone! After this experience everything began.”
As she reports the experience (and re-lives it inside), she realises: here lies the root of her current condition.
Prescription: on the basis of this account I decided to give her Buddleia 200K.
Follow-ups
6 weeks later: “It was incredible! Immediately after the remedy I got so much energy! I hardly slept for three days, but I don't miss the sleep. I was totally ‘hyper’, as if I had received an energy boost to do the spring clean. There was a lot to do and I wanted to do it! This burst of energy lasted about a month; now it is slightly receding and I am beginning to feel a little tired again.”
WH: “What has changed?”
P: “My husband constantly complains: ‘You do nothing at all!’ and then we get into a vicious circle where I become angry and the whole situation becomes blocked. After the remedy he accused me again, but instead of reacting indignantly I managed to remain calm. I asked him why he always blames me, although he knows it is not true. I told him that it hurts me and asked him not to do it any more. I understand that he only says it out of his own helplessness and frustration and that he doesn't mean it like that, but we must stop this behavioural pattern! After I said that I felt better, and we have not fallen back into that role-play. Now there is room to talk about our frustrations without shifting it onto the other. That way our relationship has begun to grow.
My older son and my husband both have a nervous restlessness. They try to do everything at once and cannot sit still. I now feel that my nervousness comes from them, and I can leave it with them.”
The events from April seem to have been processed. She only remembers that it was very unpleasant, but she can let it go.
“Recently I have been less irritable, and the headaches have disappeared. As the loss of energy and irritability are now slowly returning, I would like another dose, please!”
Although a deeper problem with her husband now emerges, I want to see how the butterfly bush affects this, as it also seemed to have a positive effect on that problem.
Prescription: Buddleia 200K, single dose
Another six weeks later: “I am still feeling excellent. All my complaints are gone and have not returned so far. My husband used to say it was my task to create a happy atmosphere in the house, which felt like a burden because I was responsible for everyone's mood. Now I let that go, and my relationship with my husband has become much deeper and better, and I feel much better too.”
She and her husband are working things through constructively, so I prescribe nothing and decide to wait.
Differential diagnosis
There are several remedies that come to mind; Staphisagria is probably the first with regard to suppression and disappointment. However, she expresses her anger. She is gentle, but her problem is not the suppression of her anger; she had to endure two hellish days and nobody understood her or was there to comfort her. She became very angry at her husband, who had no understanding for this situation, but that did not help.
Deep down a great change has taken place. The cause of the problem is more the experience than suppression. Of course Acidum phosphoricum could also be helpful here, as there is a lack of drive after a painful event for which her husband shows no understanding (and later the problem of poor communication arises). It would probably have helped her to some extent, but for some reason it did not feel right (it did not resonate with me as an Acidum phosph. type).
Case 2
This is a case I have worked on for many years. The patient, a 69-year-old woman, had already been treated by several other therapists and, before coming to me, had undergone a variety of treatment methods including homeopathy, psychotherapy, acupuncture, phytotherapy, EMDR, family constellation work according to Bert Hellinger, Reiki and Ayurveda.
She is one of the most severely traumatised patients I have ever treated, and before she received Buddleia she made at best minimal progress. If you encountered a protagonist with such problems in a book you would suspect the author of exaggeration. To my eyes it shows the darker sides of life in an enclosed rural environment where many things can happen unnoticed.
This case has taught me the incredible depth of this wonderful remedy.
Because there are so many traumas, I will give only a short chronological biography from the patient's life listing only some of the most serious traumas.
She is the eldest of three children and comes from a religious farming family. Her mother, a very reserved and dominant woman, did not really want children. When she became pregnant she was therefore not exactly happy – that is an understatement, because when her daughter was born she refused to breastfeed her. After two days (!) the mother was forced by her GP together with a policeman to breastfeed the child. Although she did not starve, her mother never missed an opportunity to show her that she was unwelcome.
Her mother wanted nothing to do with her, and a childminder came into the house who was also a very dominant woman; she had no interest in the work (on such small farms the daughters of poor farmers were often forced to earn their keep as childminders on other farms), and she hated children. This woman had brutal methods of imposing her will on the child entrusted to her. Often her mother was in the same room while she was beaten by the childminder, and she did nothing about it.
When her mother became pregnant again, she did not hate the child (a boy) as much as her firstborn because she could now pass most of the work on to the childminder and her older daughter; she no longer had to care so much for the children.
The childminder was clever enough to realise that she only needed to punish the eldest for the others' mistakes; thus she ensured that the eldest child would do everything to please her, making her job easy.
My patient learned from early on to care for her brother (and later her sister) so well that all three could avoid blows.
Her brother, her sister and the childminder had a relatively simple life. Naturally her siblings learned manipulative behaviour in this situation. Her brother later developed a classic borderline disorder, which then led to further chaos.
When she started school (age 8) she was sent to the local school several kilometres from the farm. On the way to school she was raped one day by a soldier (it was in the middle of the Second World War). Totally overwhelmed and shocked she ran home, where her mother locked her in her room. She did not know how to deal with a child in such distress, and as they lived in a small town she did not want to make too much of an issue of the perpetrator. The girl, locked in her room for 2 days without any contact, thought she had to cope with it alone. The same thing happened again when she was 15, and again when she was 19. The second time her parents finally believed her that she had not provoked the act, and the third time she told her parents nothing at all.
Because she constantly cared for her brother and sister, there was little room for personal development, and after the death of her parents she stayed at home to look after her siblings. When she later moved out, the two came with her to live: her brother stayed for 45 years and her sister 28 years (!).
She now lives alone, since her sister died of cancer a few years ago and she could no longer care for her brother (his behaviour made it impossible to live with him). It took years until she finally had the courage not to look after him any more, and she still feels guilty (he likes to manipulate her with these feelings of guilt).
At the age of 30 she fell in love with a man, but when she discovered that there was diabetes in his family she broke off the relationship because there was also diabetes in her family and she did not want to risk passing it on to her children.
She trained as a teacher and worked in this profession for about thirty years until she finally retired because she had to admit to herself that she was overwhelmed. She constantly strove to protect all children from any form of suffering and tried to be the best possible teacher; but these two tasks exceeded her (and anyone's) capacities.
At that time one of her pupils was the son of the man who had raped her when she was 15. She spoke with him at every parents' evening and saw him almost daily when he brought his children to school, but she never did anything. He knew it, and she knew it. Just imagine how that must have felt!
These are the most important traumas (although there are many more) that give an impression of the problems underlying her current condition.
She comes to me because she cannot cry; she cannot feel or express anger; she trembles all over both internally and externally. She has panic attacks (she is a hypochondriac, and during panic attacks she paces quickly around the living room); she is an extreme perfectionist with very low self-esteem, suffers from fear of heights and dizziness and is constantly worried about everything and anything. She has nervous tics in almost every muscle of her body, especially in the facial muscles (her face is in constant movement). She suffers from all kinds of digestive problems, recurrent colds, painful dryness of the mucous membranes, and she has sleep disturbances.
She has received various remedies from homeopaths she consulted earlier without lasting success. These included (in alphabetical order): Arsenicum, Carcinosinum, Carcinosinum-cum-cuprum, Gelsemium, Ignatia, various Magnesiums and Natriums, Staphisagria, Stramonium, Zincum and many others in different potencies. Although they had some effect, she always relapsed to where she had been before the remedy, and there was no personal growth. It seemed as if the remedies only helped with acute conditions and reduced their sharpness, but did not touch the deeper levels.
Prescription: Buddleia MK
Follow-ups
In the days after taking the remedy the dizziness and headaches disappeared, and her mucous membranes became ‘moist’. During the day she was very tired and sometimes even had to sleep during the day.
After six weeks she returned and her physical complaints had improved. The trembling has almost disappeared, and her face, which had always been tense and full of twitches, is now so relaxed that the skin literally hangs down from the cheeks.
Although she still cannot recall the content of her dreams, she begins to dream. More importantly, her feelings are now coming slightly more to the fore. She is angry about some current things, and also about things that happened in the past. She also notices that she almost needs to cry when someone tells something sad. This is of course the safest way to express one's feelings: to project them onto others and cry for their grief. The panic attacks are gradually easing and occur less frequently.
At this point I repeated the remedy several times, and her condition continued to improve. She can now become angry and even react and express her anger, whereas previously she would have had a panic attack and would not even have recognised that she was essentially angry.
Her next step was to realise that she was angry, and she brooded about it for days: “What should I have said and how should I have responded?” A few weeks ago someone made a joking remark, and she answered angrily: “If that is the only kind of comment you can make, then keep your mouth shut and keep it to yourself!” During the case taking she constantly brings her anger to various topics (“Damn it…”) and expresses herself directly on the emotional level.
She has been able to cry on several occasions, but still “from a safe distance”; she can cry for someone else, but not yet for herself.
For the first time she allows herself to look back on her life and to see what has happened to her emotionally. She is no longer in the victim role and does not remain stuck in self-pity, but deals actively with the events.
She still has a long way to go, but with Buddleia a beginning has been made; she has begun to open up. This is the path of real progress; even if there is a relapse, she will never again fall completely back because real growth has taken place.
Summary
Apart from being a great trauma remedy, I find that this is a remedy for current situations and for age. Most of my Buddleia prescriptions are for people who have to bear too much at the same time – not all of it has to be negative. For example, a woman goes through a divorce and moves out of her house while at the same time her daughter moves out to live independently. Meanwhile she has some changes at work to cope with, which produces a state of overwhelm where she is overloaded with emotions and cannot live from the heart any more.
Another patient is a single mother whose only child has started school, so she now has time to start a new job, and at the same time she is moving to another house.
Every event is a “life event”, and it needs some time to come to terms with it. But because life is becoming ever faster and more intense, people want (or have) to do several things at once, leading to stagnation in the flow of our life energy. Buddleia could also be a great remedy for ADHD children who are pushed by their parents to the limits of their abilities, or who are simply not allowed to be children: they have to grow up too quickly.
These people remain trapped in the flow of events and lose the ability to return to their own rhythm.
It is not like Nux vomica, who knows what he wants but lacks the time or concentration to do everything at once. These people are overwhelmed and then blocked. They often describe the feeling of having many emotions at the same time, e.g.: “I am happy, sad, angry and relieved all at once.”
This remedy brings calm. Often that is all they need: a breather that the remedy makes possible, which I find wonderful. If we give these people Arnica, Nux, Ignatia or another acute remedy, it can easily lay its matrix over the nature of the patient and possibly suppress certain processes. The effect of Buddleia here exceeds that of the other remedies. It brings a calm from which the patient can decide what to deal with and how. If that causes problems, one can still give Nux, Ignatia etc., but I have found that people often manage without further help.
Madeline Evans writes: “Does not take up his life task after a shock. Seclusion, isolation, withdrawal into oneself, no connection with the heart centre. Stuck and unable to move forward, emotional rigidity so that one can no longer feel anything directly.”
I believe that is very true. It is not that they do not want to move forward, but they cannot detach themselves from the trauma and go on with their lives. As with Natrium muriaticum something happens and it is as if in their whole life development a red thread leads back to this event. As seen in the second case, she can now let go.
With each follow-up I notice how the past becomes less and less decisive for what happens in their life in the here and now.
One should also think of this remedy for people with birth trauma.
