DISAPPOINTED, UPSET,
DEEPLY HURT
Ruta graveolens for incipient rheumatoid arthritis
AUTHOR ¦ Jürgen Hansel
SUMMARY:
The remedy
Ruta graveolens
resembles
the symptom picture of rheumatoid arthritis both at
the physical as well as the emotional level. A typical
example of this is presented in which a patient does
not display his emotions and feels little aggression
while reacting to deep disappointment with physical
complaints of an auto-aggressive illness. The sensa-
tion of being beaten with an iron bar is associated
with the feeling of being unable to function.
