Petunia integrifolia
Remedy code: 3-665.73.06
Child, aged six years. For years abdominal pain, constipation with overflow diarrhea. A family member now has colon cancer, prognosis is not very good, the child hears what is going to happen and how sad it is. Since that day child is tense, abdominal symptoms have worsened, she does not want to go to school. It was a trauma: me too I have abdominal pain, which means dying.
At consultation: The child herself says it's about abdominal pain at school. 'Then I really want to go home. I just couldn't poop. Then I also start thinking about bad things, because the dying. Taking off pants helps, warmth helps. The child often cannot poop for weeks, is constipated, and has been using Vorlax for a long time. Had a lot of abdominal pain last six months. Stools are sticky. Complaining about tummy in the evening going to bed. When we talk about grandma at home: restless, and even gets nauseous, almost vomiting. It has been always a worrisome child, who picks up everything, from everyone, from the whole world, and dwells on it. The teacher notices this too: it is like a sponge, hears everything, and comes out of school very tired. He has emotional outbursts. Sleeps well, many dreams lately, about sounds and crooks, ‘when I hear a chair moving for example’. Playing goes well. A child should actually be carefree! He has compulsive behavior, almost ritual cleaning up before she goes to school. If you don't pay attention to this kind of thing it also subsides. Parents are very calm and respectful.
Analysis
Fear, death: fits Phase 7. Insecure, not understanding fits Phase 3. "Abdomen, wants to uncover" is known from Tabacum, there is the reaction after this medicine, less abdominal pain, but at night there is more restlessness, he is more clingy. Stage 12 is not really clear either. So look for a better solution.
When after a prescription we have a reaction, but not enough, it is possible to look within the same family. If that doesn’t work, within the same class, or change Phase and subphase, and see what it brings you.
Looking at the Nicotinaoidae, we see Petunia, placed at stage 6, recognizable of anxiety and defecation from previous casuistry, also this kind of sensitivity, "a sponge" and much pain mother occurs in several Petunia cases. Much pain: Solanaceae, must adapt life to it: Phase 3. Before the pregnancy his mother had a severe car accident resulting in daily head pain, migraines, and exhaustive fatigue for years, with much therapy: Phase 7. Death applies within Phase 7, but the complaints were already there and go much further in terms of energy, sensitivity and emotions. He senses a lot, and absorbs like a sponge: Lamiidae, especially Lamiales and Solanales. His whole life he had intestinal complaints.
Prescription: Petunia integrifolia C200.
Follow up
After 6 weeks things are going very well. He was constipated one more time the last week. His parents have given him two enemas as usual. Lots of cramps, and there was also overflowing diarrhea again. Now his mother tells that the person died yesterday, and the collapse the week before resulted in the days of not being able to poop. Actually, the child is not affected at all by the passing, to our surprise, she is also less ‘spongy’ now. Father said after two days already "It's a completely different child", still asking things about death (the emotional period is not forgotten, but can be spoken out). After Petunia she is very energetic, much busier. Father: that child is totally hyper, not so into herself anymore.
Emotionally better, rarely still has an outburst, but since Petunia after an outburst, it is over immediately, before could linger in it for hours, angry and indignant. Always extreme in emotions, can easily flip in emotions. Sleep well but sleeps late and wakes early, but it is no longer a problem. Before: after going to bed late three times you could wait for a child to get sick. No more Vorlax used, started eating much more and stays more energetic. Sits the whole consultation quietly coloring, a brief moment of distrust seeing the stethoscope, knowing that from the hospital.
