LAMIACEAE ¦ PIPERACEAE
Teucrium hyrcanicum is one of approximately 150
Gamander species of the Lamiaceae. In terms of the
flower morphology, the short split upper lip is worth
mentioning. Its tips are pulled down to the upper lip,
giving the impression that the lower lip has five flaps,
and the upper lip is completely missing.

SPECTRUM OF HOMEOPATHY
such as Betel (Piper betle), have so far not been used. Along
with the mood-enhancing and stimulating or calming effects,
the Piperaceae are chiefly known as aphrodisiacs, e.g. Piper

Case 3: forty-year-old male patient, addiction, inner

headache, with the key phrase: “Anticipation is
so awesome!”
Casetaking:
Andreas is an event manager, a very lively and
intense man who talks and laughs a lot, openly “flirting” with
his words and gestures. He has been coming for a long time
due to his addiction and inner restlessness, and he also suffers
from condyloma, eczema on the face, herpes, and headaches.
This is a summary of several consultations, showing how he
expresses himself.
Patient (summarized):
“There's a simmering under the skin. It
itches, dragging under the skin, on the arms and face. It moves
and throbs, ameliorated by cooling. There's something teeming
under the skin. Then, I'm thoroughly sluggish and sensitive to
light. It gets on my nerves. I'm tired and irritable. It's crawling
under the skin and I can't stand being touched. A throbbing,
wave-like motion. This feeling of itching under the skin moves
upwards. I'd like to wake up and it's no longer there. It's burning
hot, a flush, much aggravated by the sun. A flush, anxiety, with
