SPECTRUM OF HOMEOPATHY

are directed at an ego that is repeatedly withdrawing to a

core sphere of unity, which is then reawakened by the spicy

hot concentrated pungency. In the oldest and proverbial

spice, the peppercorn, the spicy pungency is constricted into

a small hard sphere, which appears externally as thoroughly

innocuous, without taste or smell. It only reveals its richness

when ground down.

The Lamiaceae, on the other hand, freely exude the warmth

of their organism into the surrounds: essential oils positively

dissipate in warmth, are readily combustible, yet trigger a feeling

of coldness when in contact with our senses. Homeopathically,

they help in a state where sensuous excitation is too keenly

sought, becoming an addiction in which the ego loses itself

in the stimulus it seeks. Anyone who wants to see how orga

nisms without a controlling ego completely lose themselves

can watch the videos on YouTube showing how cats react to

the genus Teucrium, commonly known as Germander. The

hot-cold spiciness of the Lamiaceae has a particular effect on

the mucous membranes, the bridging zones at the interface

between the inside and outside worlds, where people can easily

be overloaded if the stimuli are too great.

Developmental logic of the plants:

is there a logical, structural,

or even developmental explanation of the different sensations

observed in the plant families? The Sensation method is no

help here. In contrast to the minerals and animals, in which

the developmental logic is a fundamental part of our under-

standing, the Sensation method has so far simply listed the

plant families together with their vital sensations, but without

Drugs, sex, drinking, cooking, over-working, being

in the flow, and above all, living intensely. The remedy

family with this vital sensation is the Lamiaceae.
