The rest of the case mostly was spent in examining this strange
phenomena and where it probably stems from. The mother gave various
instances that highlighted that inspite of grave injuries, during
suturing and during acute ear pains to name some, the child, although
in pain, would keep a strong check on not letting the pain get the
better of her. It is important to undertsand at this stage that
it was not a situation of not feeling the pain or analgesia as this
belongs to a seperate group of remedies. Rather it was a need to
control the pain.
The mother further explained that her daughter probably got this
aspect from her father. Her husband was one of the first in his
family to divert from their basic livelihood of farming to a management
career. But he and his family were made of stocky and sturdy people
and they never complained of most scratches and injuries and let
nature take its natural course without even taking recourse to pain
killers. They were all built very strong physically. In spite of
all this brute strength which the girl was capable of, she only
used it when she saw that someone weak was being hurt or bullied
by someone stronger. Then she would readily take up the role of
a protector. But she never misused her strength. In fact she was
sensitive and caring to the pains of others and when her own sister
was an infant she would guard her very caringly so that she does
not get hurt in any way. This sensitivity was also extended to her
own feelings of getting very hurt if anyone found any fault in her.
It was important for her to see her parents happy. She would try
hard to please her parents. The mother further said that she does
not like talking about her pain. She feels that if she will ignore
the pain, it will go away.
The mother's predominant state during pregnancy can be a very crucial
aspect worth probing into for an accurate insight into a child's
state. In this case however, the father's state gains weightage
and this co-relation is a very fascinating equation that I have
confirmed time and again. It is important of course to proceed with
caution and again without prejudice. There may definitely be instances
where there is no direct connection between the state of either
parents with that of the child. But one must be alert and open to
this phenomena when it is obviously glaring at us and hoping to
be recognized by a keen observer. There are also instances when
a child may be adopted and we have no links of his or her lineage.
In cases like that there are other ways to get an entry point but
that is not the scope of this article.
From all this information and the sensitivity which was also an
important issue, the case was leading to a plant remedy. Further,
the vital sensation revolved around injury or hurt which takes
us to the family Compositae. The need to control the hurt
or the pain associated to it takes us to the cancer miasm. The
remedy that emerges is Bellis Perrenis. This is a remedy
that covers malignancy in a very big way, especially of the mammae
after contusions. Hence it has been classified under the cancer
miasm in which the main aspect is to keep everything under control
even if it amounts to a suppression. For me, for the first time,
I really could appreciate why some books refer to it as a gardener's
remedy. The remedies belonging to this family are acutely sensitive
to the pain and suffering of others. It's almost as if they feel
the pain of others. Also most of them happen to be injury remedies
too and easy bleeders as well. She was given a single dose of the
remedy in 1M potency, keeping the acuteness as well as the intensity
with which it matched her state. The results were very gratifying.
Within two days the boils started clearing up. Subsequently, she
could even indulge in food items that would not agree with her in
the past and could start her swimming as well. It has been six months
and she has not needed another dose and continues to be under observation.
She has become more approachable too.
You can judge for yourself how difficult it would have been without
the new method to derive at this girl's remedy. I am presuming that
all your readers are aware of Dr. Sankaran's concept of miasms and
his latest case-taking method. For further clarification you need
to refer to his latest book Insight into Plants.
Here are the proposed feelings and sensations of other Compositae
remedies along with their corresponding miasms-
The common theme as mentioned earlier is of injuries/insults:
Arnica - Miasm Acute - Shock from sudden injury
Calendula - Miasm Acute
Chamomilla - Miasm Typhoid - If I scream, yell, kick, abuse enough,
I will stop being injured and hurt and will recover
Cina - Miasm Malarial - Persecuted by injury
Taraxacum - Miasm Ringworm - Trying to struggle with injury, hurt
and insult, sometimes avoiding sometimes accepting
Senecio Aureus - Miasm Sycotic - Avoiding hurt, insult, injury by
covering up and hiding oneself
Abrotanum - Miasm Tubercular Oppressed and suffocated by injury
Bellis Per - Miasm Cancer - Controlling the injury and hurt
Inula - Miasm Leprous - Isolated, scorned and disgusted by injury
Echinacea - Miasm Syphilitc - Destroyed by being injured or death
from injury
So, I wish you all the very best and hope that homoeopathy brings
joy, excitement and satisfaction to you all as it does to me.
