Cypripedium parviflorum
Remedy code: 3-633.72.02
A 40-year-old man, who came four years ago for burnout, was doing well after Lactuca. Now he feels tense and tired again. He has been walking on eggshells for a while; it’s busy at work, and his wife was sick, and he took care of her for a long time. Suddenly, she told him, "I feel nothing for you anymore." That hit hard. He then arranged all sorts of things to do together and was full of understanding. But she doesn't want that, now rejects everything, and there are signals that they might get divorced. The past weeks were tense between us and irritable. The last few nights, he hasn't slept, and now he lies awake all night. There is restlessness in the chest. It's not the burnout feeling; it's more like being paralyzed. He has doubts, it keeps churning. He remains lying down, feeling tension in the arm. He doesn't understand it. Fears are surfacing, he doesn't want this, only going on vacation with the children. At work, he stays cheerful, and can still do the work.
Analysis
Silicon series: the tension is related to the relationship, the family.
Phase 7: the fear is that it will end, characteristic of Stage 17, which also fits Phase 7. This feeling can be taken as the 'undertone,' the basic feeling, the Phase, which is also the situation, letting go and ending. Above this, there is another color: the problem is the uncertainty about this, Subphase 2. Also, the situation fits this Phase, the beginning of the separation, the search for how to handle it.
This analysis leads to the Liliidae, to Phase 7, the Class of the Orchidales, and further to Subphase 2, the family Cypripedioideae. Within a family, the plants are divided into stages, best described as 'the action' someone undertakes (or that characterizes the complaints). The Cypripedioideae is known for the medicine Cypripedium; sleep problems are characteristic, too much congestion to the head, 'brain hyperesthesia,' and 'mental over excitement.' In the Wonderful Plants concept, this family is included in the Vanilliidae.
Stage 2: determining place, passive, intimidation. Compare the characteristics of Barium, the powerlessness, Strontium, overwhelmed, Calcium, fears, and Magnesium, building and holding tension.
Prescription: Cypripedium parviflorum C200.
Follow-up
Within a few days his mind is calm; he calls the medicine a 'thought-stopper,' he can accept the situation, no longer has the churning thoughts, and talks calmly with his wife. He focuses on possibilities and feels energetically stable again after two weeks.
