Remedy code: 3-6 65. 65.10
A woman of 43 years old, with lively eyes, a warm personality, and open in contact. She has a receptive attitude, looks with interest, confidential. With memories, she looks top left. Very rarely is there a deep dullness in the eyes to see, which is quickly flooded with a 'cozy and forthcoming presentation'. Mouth and especially lips are very sensual, and expressive. She has a broad face, like a portrait of Goya, her stature is somewhat stocky. Her voice is colorful, in sound, and often in word choice. 'My body is busy with hormonal completion. I am so troubled by it. She also has a lot of trouble with her intestines; there is an investigation into endometriosis, and the advice is hormone therapy. Ten years of heavy bleeding. The mammary glands swell and are painful, left lateral. She is also very tired, 'I want to be able to cope with the world again'. With the pill, she becomes irritated and gloomy. With bad weather, that's also the case, worse in winter, she needs light. Her intestines can become so disrupted; that she quickly gets constipated, every few months she has diarrhea, watery thin. For a few months now, she has had severe cramps with bowel movements. Often headaches, weekly, lasting a day or 2-3. Pain feels like a band, sometimes from the neck to the back of the head, with movement it is intensely throbbing, and it makes her nauseous. The family: 'You have to go on, but you shift the gear down a bit. You don't have the choice to sit down; it's of course a factory that has to keep going.' Things are going well at home. She was once fired, which felt very unpleasant, they tried to get her out ‘on performance’, but she fought back with a lawyer. 'I am a fighter. You just keep going, running on reserve'. She is highly sensitive; if she has a sock with a seam, she cuts it off. If someone is not feeling well, she can feel that well. In the past, she has been in therapy; she felt unhappy and rejected, and felt very insecure. She has long been bothered by what others think of her and always tried to please others. She tries to shut herself off from this. Delightful to read, to cook. In her youth, she attended a boarding school, which was difficult as a timid child, in the group, the law of the strongest applies. She often has tension in her shoulders, since a collision. Sleep is good; during the period of dismissal, she would sometimes wake up, and then sit upright in bed. I always dream, about everything. It's very difficult to keep the weight under control. Wonderful to go out with friends, dance, go out, theater. Her parents are people who keep going, their own business. The hustle and bustle and full schedule overwhelm her; it's oppressive. 'I've lost space and freedom.
AnalysisClass 65: In her appearance and way of doing things, you can already recognize something of Class 6 and 5. Her way of speaking is a combination of very confidential and colorful, descriptive (fitting with Class 5) and official language use, contemplative (fitting with Class 6). Speaking searchingly, listening to herself, looking sideways for memories is characteristic of the Lamiales and the Solanales, this can be extrapolated to the Lamiidae. Lamiales are recognizable (enthusiastic, friends, going out, being completely open-eyed, being able to take you with them), then look at Lamiidae. Much is intense, emphasized, and known from the Solanales, but there are no Phase 7 characteristics further.
Tension in region of shoulders is Class 5, due an accident fitting Class 6. Sensitive, to persons and emotions Class 5.
Phase 6: Remarkable is the opening sentence, almost contemplative, stating that 'it's about to finish', it's almost over, a theme of Phase 6. In addition: both the intestines, the fatigue, and feeling rejected, the dismissal. Her parents were not 'present' in her youth, at the boarding school.
Phase 5: Wanting more, her enthusiasm, presenting herself (from Class 5) 'beyond the limits of fatigue', 'you have to go on', 'I am a fighter', weight is a problem, space, and freedom are an issue,
Search for Phase 6 and Subphase 5. Usually, the Subphase is the image that you see best; it is also the image that is created, her openness, enthusiasm, social, and wanting to be able to live life fully. The Phase is the foundation, the basis, here the fatigue, not getting appreciation, rounding off being a woman, as she describes it.
This then brings you to 3-665.65 or the family of the Bignoniaceae, here you can then see if there is a suitable match. Her conviction, firmness, and powerful appearance can be at stage 10, not letting oneself be known, the need for stability, or the theme of stability.
Prescription: Catalpa bignonioidess C200.
Follow-up After the tablets, she was very tired for a day, and then she woke up fit. She has more energy, again interested in extra things; when getting up, I notice that I am 'there' faster, and less tired. No longer grumpy, now she is optimistic. Headaches rarely occur and to a lesser extent. I had little trouble with menstruation, short, not much, and no pain. My intestines are good now, sometimes constipated again, then it gets in the way, but no cramps. Work went well, it's busy; she is busy with the children and care-giving. The cycle is short again, just like before the pregnancies. In the years after this, there is still occasionally less energy, 'then I see the world more pessimistically, worry about whether someone thinks negatively about me, it comes out after a lot of detours'. This disappears after Hedera helix.
