Follow-up after six months:
“Now my husband has also clearly
noticed how easy it’s become around my period. He always used
to spontaneously withdraw because I could often be extremely
absent. So I used to always take
Sepia
beforehand but it didn’t
help as much and I didn’t become stable long-term, like now.
Now I don’t need this withdrawal so very much.” And she said
the following about the feeling of being shut in and abandoned:
“The stiffness and getting stuck inside myself – I don’t feel it like
that anymore. I’m so happy.”
“But now I’d like you to see my daughter because she resembles
me in so many ways.”
CASE 2: Four-year-old daughter of the patient from
case 1, suppurating ENT infections
Little Hannah (the children’s names have been changed) suffered
from recurrent suppurating inflammation of the ear, nose, and
throat (ENT), for which she has already received several courses of
antibiotics from the paediatrician. Her mother describes her child
thus: “Hannah is a very shy child and was very unsettled before
this appointment. She needs a long time to become trusting. Es-
pecially when she’s in a strange environment, she only does things
when she’s sure she can master them. She never loses control and
is mostly composed. She wants to make her own decisions about
whether she may do something without having to. I can always
rely on Hannah – she is responsible and looks out for her younger
sister, for example. She is shy in public, cautious, restrained and
needs a high degree of certainty.” When asked about Hannah’s
development she says: “Her motor development was rather slow,
always very cautious. She walked freely at the age of seventeen
months.”
Analysis and understanding of the case:
Like her mother, Han-
nah also shows strong hints pointing to a remedy from the mineral
kingdom. She is unsure in the outside world and has difficulty fin-
ding her feet. There are clear hints to the third row of the periodic
table. In the Silicon series the issue is establishing one’s identity,
place and role in the world as well as one’s relationship to others.
Rubrics / repertorisation (Complete Millennium, German
edition)
•
Mind; TIMIDITY; public, about appearing in
•
Throat; ENLARGED; tonsils
•
Throat; INFLAMMATION, sore throat; tonsils
•
Mind; CONSCIENTIOUS about trifles
The repertory strongly indicates Silica from the third row, which
addresses Hannah’s issues both on the physical and mental level.
Yet, as with her mother, we see that Hannah also displays themes
such as “I want to decide myself that I am allowed to do something
without having to do it.” Hannah is a strong-willed child and she
does not like being forced to do things. As I have now come to
know, strong-mindedness and tenacity comprise the typical pattern
of
Amethyst
. They are some of the most important differentiators,
as here in contrast to clear quartz (Silica). So I decided to prescribe
Hannah
Amethyst
.
Prescription:
Amethyst 200C
Follow-up and progress of the case for three years:
Like her
mother, Hannah reacted very well to the remedy. Her tendency
