Fabaceae

Fabaceae
Version 20213, Plant systematics according to Jan Scholten, Maarten van der Meer

Introduction Fabaceae
The Fabaceae are also known botanically as Leguminosae, or Papilionaceae, the Butterfly Flowers. They are familiar from the kitchen, for example, as legumes (beans, peas, lentils), licorice, peanuts, and from the garden as mimosa, acacia, clover, broom, and lathyrus. In homeopathy, a number of well-known medicines from this group have been known since ancient times: Baptisia tinctorium, Lathyrus sativus, Melilotus officinalis, and Physostigma venosum. These have become well known because they occur relatively frequently in the repertory and, as a result, are often recognized and prescribed. They are also emphasized because of historical coincidences, such as literature and education. In Clarke's Materia Medica, where medicines are also described from a botanical perspective (often without any experience with the potentized form), it is already emphasized that comparisons can be made with botanically related species. Properties of one particular plant are often also characteristic of its botanical relatives, sometimes of the entire family. In practice, this experience from phytotherapy proves to be very useful; focus, organ function, or clinical application can usually be transferred to the application as a homeopathic medicine. In addition, experience shows that botanical groups have similarities in function and application. Jan Scholten gave shape to this and developed it into a very useful system, which is referred to here as Plant Systematics (2013 Plant Theory, Scholten). Note: this later evolved into Wonderful Plants and Qjure.

Plant Systematics.
Group characteristics, or themes, are the similarities in theme and indications of medicines from a botanical group. Characteristics of the medicines of a Plantfamily, based on information from the described provings and case studies, have been compared with existing keywords and, from there, organized and classified according to the stages as described and applied in Homeopathy and Minerals, Homeopathy and the Elements, and Secrets Lanthanides by Jan Scholten. The given scheme for the Fabaceae has proven to be very reliable and valuable in practice, and a number of additions from our case studies have been made. Themes have been extracted from case studies. These are often descriptions, subjective appearances, but equally important are causal factors: environmental factors that cause or maintain the symptoms. These are triggering circumstances, recognizable, identifiable, and classifiable facts that reveal or express the person's sensitivity. Sensitivity to themes from everyday life or to circumstances, as well as expression in behavior and appearance, proves to be very useful in identifying a necessary medicine. This can be explained by the experience that both the vegetative system and the psychological state, as well as sensory and emotional sensitivity, have a direct relationship with a disturbance. In other words, with both the objective and subjective complaints of a person, which are the basis for a homeopathic prescription.

Fabaceae, Scholten's principles are summarized as presented in 2003.
The group as a whole contains relatively high levels of manganese and selenium. Scholten's keywords for Manganum metallicum, as well as those for the Iron series, overlap with those of the Fabaceae group: improving, learning, training, cohesion (Stage 7), teaching (Manganum). In addition, plants need bacteria for the absorption of nitrogen, Nitrogenium, which in homeopathic action emphasizes the aspects of enjoyment, enthusiasm, and expansion (Stage 15). Jan Scholten gave shape to this in Plants 4, 2003. This was the starting point for the prescriptions to collect more case studies, which formed the basis for the description of this plant family, under the section Practical experience further on in this article.

Keywords according to Jan Scholten
Poverty, fear of not having enough to fulfill needs
Enjoy, they like an enjoyable life without troubles or complications, without duties or problems.
Pfeiffer, desire for help, feeling like an outcast.
They have to work hard, and earn their living. Want to do it well. Can exceed their power, teachers
Serious, dry, in later stages (depends on lack of money, mother love, freedom, pleasure)
Split, imbalance in duty and pleasure (as Moral justice, sense of innocence, a sacred bean, “boontje om zijn loontje” (you reap what you sow).
Powerless, problems are too big.
Confusion, mental and physical exhaustion (‘in de bonen zijn’), disorientation, indifference, lack of energy, and ambition.
Sensitivity to touch and weather conditions. Disappointment, critical thinking. Corpulent people. Chronic fatigue syndrome ME, paralysis, poliomyelitis. Digestion, pancreas.
In addition to the themes addressed by Scholten, there is another reason to consider Fabaceae: aversion, preference, need, improvement or aggravation, allergy to one of the Leguminosae, for example: beans, peas, peanuts, licorice, mimosa, lathyrus.

Prescribing according to the “atmosphere”
This involves seeing ‘the image’ and translating it into themes.
Observing a person (in appearance and behaviour, what he radiates and let see non-verbal) can provide a wealth of information. Unfortunately, we are rarely aware of what we see, or of the fact that we are seeing information. Posture, morphology, manner of acting, manner of moving, and the nature of the dynamics, manner of speaking, sound, rhythm and timbre, facial expressions, and nonverbal communication in general, even the “atmosphere” of a person can often be compared to someone we have already seen. We can then name the similarities, differences, and variations. This happens often: someone reminds you of another person, a gesture, or a way of acting that you have already seen, which evokes an association. Sometimes this information is characteristic of someone's feelings or concerns, or characteristic of the way the person reacts or deals with them. It can even be characteristic of or shed light on the “syndrome” of symptoms or the disorder present at that moment. Just as a certain pattern in the symptoms can be an expression of the overall syndrome, which determines the homeopathic remedy, because this syndrome is a translation of the burden weighing on the body and emotions. A translation of this into symptoms. In the same way, it can be translated, become visible, in attitude and behavior. Physiological and spontaneous processes, which, although repressed and overwhelmed by acquired behaviors, remain present, serving as a means of communication between the brain and the body as well as between people. These are phenomena known in neurology, but which we hardly take advantage of. Authors such as Antonio Damasio and Oliver Sacks describe how the “conscious” is translated from the body to the central nervous system, and from the brain to our body. This translation is done via the vegetative nervous system, and this process is also influenced by sensitivity to stimuli and the tone of the conscious nervous system. The limbic system and the extension of the spinal cord translate emotions and feelings to the vegetative system and various reflexes in the voluntary muscles; neurohormonal reactions, mainly via the pituitary gland, translate this to the hormone glands and thus influence cellular metabolism. This allows for vegetative feedback and an unconscious reaction to the environment. Input comes through the five known senses, supplemented by the less frequently mentioned proprioceptors and skin receptors, which also reflect our body's reactions via vegetative feedback and can thus more easily reach our consciousness. The body reacts, which is perceptible in sensations and visible in posture and behavior. This reaction is observable and usable, perceptible in us and for ourselves, visible to others. It is a basic communication system, an expression of feelings and thoughts, our reaction to the outside world and the inner world, our physical functioning with all the disturbances and sensitivities that we seek as homeopaths.
Biologically, there is no absolute separation between consciousness and physical, emotional, and mental functioning. Our model of thinking about human beings may well be based on the very limited observations we make as human beings, because we filter most of the information transfer for functional and practical reasons, and we have little or no control over it. The expression of feelings and emotions, communication, is largely universal and codified, and recognizable in the functioning of our nervous system and our behaviors. These are known as recognizable reactions to the influences of our “inner world,” which are mentioned in the behavioral sciences. Our reactions to causal factors, environmental factors, are also largely codified, and although they are partly replaced by behaviors and thus camouflaged, they do not disappear completely. Behavior and attitude thus unconsciously and consciously translate much of our inner being: how we feel, how we react to the environment, and where our sensitivities lie. The dynamics of a conversation, or what someone experiences, or what someone is thinking about, or what happens while they are telling their story, can reveal a great deal. Interpreting this is so difficult that only a fraction of the information can be used by the average person. Recognizing previously seen patterns is easier; it provides a reference. Storing images, visual and auditory, and if possible also empathic and sympathetic, can provide a wealth of useful comparison material. The information obtained can be evaluated and assessed on the spot or at a later time, provided the information has been seen and experienced, and can therefore be more easily stored in memory. Paper cases are a meager copy of the information to be used. The emphasis, tone, and intention of what is being said are difficult to express in words, especially on paper. The appreciation of symptoms, as done in the repertory, cannot be compared to the vast amount of information that concerns a person's "atmosphere."

For a long time, this theory was unusable for me. Experience recognizing signals and physical language, typical of a way of responding appropriate to a homeopathic medicine, was the first step in learning to work with it more consciously. Scholten elucidatingly terms this way of responding as "action" and describes it in stages. The action, combined with the currently discussed or stressful topic, the subject of the action (in mineral analysis, this represents the salt), or in combination with how the person presents, the object (in Mineral analysis, the Series), can thus very specifically point to a medicine. An example that taught a lot about the application of "atmosphere" is the slumped, almost atonic posture appropriate for a child for whom an Antimonium salt is indicated: hiding in a low-contact pose, demonstratively absent as a passive resistance to the situation or the world around them. This posture changes completely into a present, space-occupying, and active posture the moment they talk about their fantasy or personal world, or as soon as they express what's going on inside them through play or drawing. This transition can be a brief flash or last a few minutes. The eyes reveal that the passive behavior is purely physical, while there is mental alertness; it is a demonstrative posture. A temporarily broken resistance beneath which lies a strong drive. Recognizable, and therefore categorized as one of the characteristics of the Silver Series and Stage 15. Many times, recognizing this static pose has been the decisive piece of information or the eye-opener for recognizing Antimonium. It often happens that only when analyzing the symptoms does a memory of an image of what you've seen in the past hour emerge. Only when you can recognize it and link it to a memory, or name it clearly, do you have a good translation of the inner or overall picture. This provides an important clue for identifying a medication or group. Describing this is, as mentioned, very difficult due to the many subtleties. Recognition occurs on the same grounds, only you don't have to find suitable "words" for it. Working with themes is a useful step in learning to interpret what you see and observe, and even more so what you can look for in a case.
Practicing naming themes and recognizing described themes—the phenomena, individual characteristics, or causal circumstances expressed—has proven to be a useful medium for optimizing perception, increasing knowledge and insight, and enabling the sharing of experience.

Practical experience
Based on a number of cases in which a medicine from the Fabaceae group responded well, the following characteristics and recognition points have been described by me. Partly filling in Scholten's scheme, supplementing. Used case studies: Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) 3x, Chrysarobinum (Andira araroba), Copaiva officinalis 3x, Cytisus laburnum, Dolichos pruriens 3x, Genista tinctoria 2x, Gymnnoclades canadensis, 3x, Haematoxylon campechianum 2x, Indigo tinctorium 3x, Jequirity (Abrus precatorius) 2x, Melilotus officinalis 2x, Oxytropis lambertii, Phaseolus nanus 3x, Physostigma venennosum 2x, Robinia pseudoacasia 3x, Senna (Cassia acutifolia), Trifpolium pratensis)

Characteristics or Themes
Experiencing obligations as a burden or ballast (see also causa). The transition to a period in life that demands a lot from them, physically or mentally. In Fabaceae this is often having to give up ‘a free life’. The atmosphere that can be there in student days, without responsibility or time pressure, where it is no problem that you do not yet understand the world or that you have to worry, the desire for carefreeness and ‘bon vivant’ as an ideal image. Working hard out of necessity or satisfaction, working and partying well from time to time, or squandering money, energy, or attention. The cricket and the ant of La Fontaine as polar forces in a person. In the case of a Fabaceae indication, these are outside of self-determination, they have the upper hand over free will. Provoked by circumstances that force this as the only or best possible compensation mechanism (or because free will is too little present or has given it up temporarily or not). Caught in the circumstances or in a pattern that can be evoked by itself or by culture. Culture can be interpreted here in a large or small sense; country, history, family, work. As with many complaints, it is often a temporary functional adjustment to the circumstances in the outside world or inner world, which remains stuck. It sometimes seems as if the reaction system adapts to a temporary event if it makes enough of an impression or has input, just as people can psychologically wrongly identify with what they experience, feel, or think. A period of carefreeness, for example, high school or student days. Having or feeling as if having no obligations, full of enjoyment, cheerfulness; using this as a benchmark. Or being dependent on this, experiencing responsibility too much as an obligation, and not being able to cope with it. Obligations then become a theme. Having or taking on too many obligations. Care, study, and responsibility, which often translates into working for income. Survival, working to not perish, no reserves (both financial and energy). Confrontation with the harsh reality or not, being pulled out of the magical experience, out of a carefree or fantasized world.

Circumstances, possible themes.
Basic stress: “There are always problems, work, income. caring for the child. the partner, love”.
Poverty, there is not enough for what is needed. Sometimes seeking compensation in this. Saving as a sensitive area, seeking security, finding it necessary, or not having the possibility for it (dd the ‘old’ image of Arsenicum, and the Oxygeniums).
Pleasure: carefree, simple, problem-free.
Work: you have to earn it (yourself).
Pleasure and enjoyment are opposed to ‘serious, dry’. Duty and pleasure are opposed to each other.
A characteristic description: “I am a natural laugher, a cheerful person. But now I don’t feel like doing anything, no energy because of the pain”.
Appearance is solid, literally or figuratively. Solid build, solid appearance: good contact with the ground.
Leaning on the past, relatively much energy at the back, and behind the back. The energy is well distributed, a bit opposite to the Liliaceae, where polarity is a characteristic.
A kind of ‘fluttering cheerfulness’, a loose movement, being able to surrender to something. Something from outside, an atmosphere, also a thought of one’s own. Not an idea from within, but a projected or unprojected image. Not so much empirically, but biased. About the situation, the policy, or the expectations.

Attitude to life: people who do not intervene, live more as a ‘background’ figure, where they feel good or think that it cannot be otherwise. They are part of society, do the work thoroughly, but are not focused on change. Sticking to structure. Considering their own life subordinate to the ideas, agreements, or standards and values ​​that have been (experienced or learned), chosen, or accepted. This has the consequence that they often live from a predetermined image. This can be conservative or opportunistic, but it is always a clear image of themselves, in terms of functioning or possibilities.
Providing a very stable atmosphere, from safety to oppressive. An unforced acceptance of satisfaction or an oppressive image of the possibilities for themselves. Not explicitly present, but striking as a person. Focused on themselves, not so much introspection, but on their own experience. They go along, let themselves drift on the flow of impressions and feelings that they feel within themselves.
Just as they can go along with the flow from outside, the atmosphere that they have sought out or chosen. Or that happens to them. Conservative, because they are focused on how it is and are satisfied with how it is going. Not so much focused on or aware of how it came about, nor on the abstraction of this (how things come about), or on the future. This can again be recognized as a theme; cause, solution, or burdensome factor.
Getting stuck in an atmosphere or method can (depending on the situation) be a solution to a problem or the creation of a problem. Both physically; biochemically, via reflex arcs and tissue activity, and mentally; adjusting the world view or consciousness. Emotionally there usually does not seem to be a major disruption. The complaint and the limitations can give emotions that are appropriate to the situation, a real registration.
Characteristics that appear to be so typical and decisive for the choice of medicine, must have a biological basis that in turn determines health, or precisely for the disruption thereof. The aspect of enjoyment probably comes mainly from the vegetative, and the various nuclei in the hemispheres that register this. Less from the thalamus and the limbic system, where the instincts, the primary reactions arise (birds, Solanaceae). Emphasis is on consciousness from the physical, which tilts the balance towards responding to the influence that the outside world has on the physical, and thus colours consciousness.

Descriptions
Persistent - stuck. Unshakeable - stubborn. Resting in place, not galloping. becoming rigid, overtired. Being focused on oneself works out well when everything goes smoothly, happily, cheerful, and enjoying. When things don't go well, when they get stuck, they have too little distraction. Surviving, like a besieged city that raises the drawbridge. Strongly identifying with the situation, and with how you stand in it. With your own experience, with the image you have built up of yourself. Less focused on morality, ideals, or ideas. Mythical consciousness does not play a major role. Again, this is a capacity, with advantages and disadvantages. The value or burden is determined by the answer to the question: who is stronger, yourself or that capacity. Is it a luxury or a necessity? Can you handle it, Do you have a say in it? If it is a theme, then it is a Fabaceae indication.

Honesty.
With the Fabaceae, the emotion of anger and the prevention of quarrels and aggression seem to mainly revolve around the point of whether or not it is fair. Anger directed at people seems to manifest itself only in making plans, often quite humorous, varying from plans about cleaning and baking to really mean, occurring in Stages 12-15. Expression of anger rarely or never happens, as a rule, it remains at making plans. The fear of losing control (in their thoughts they can exaggerate quite a bit when they make angry plans) and the consequences, together with their conscience, ensure that before it gets that far, they worry so much that they already seek help or postpone everything for a while and just continue to solve it all neatly. If necessary, an escape route is considered to avoid the confrontation. This could mean taking a walk around the block, moving, emigrating, or finding another job. The reassurance that this is a possibility already provides a lot of peace of mind, enough to encourage them to keep going, or enough to turn a blind eye.

Causa
Possible origins of a Fabales indication: Being given or taking on responsibility. The circumstances are right, but without any doubt, they start the task. Roles in it. Single women, with financial, emotional pressure, and time pressure, are responsible for the children and their survival. Refugees, who have lost everything and are building a new life. Losing everything, emotionally or financially, to start over from scratch. Large family, taking care of the other children, working in the family business; the world is not bigger than and therefore there are no other options, the work is there, you participate or you do nothing, but the expectation is there, and half a word is often enough. Hard work is or seems to be the only option, doing what the environment expects of you or what you expect of yourself. Keeping things going, not making things difficult for a while, now you have to tackle it for a while. This ‘moment’ can however last too long because circumstances are against you, for years, or the reaction pattern remains stuck (compare the idea delusion of Sankaran). Recovery after a period of overload; postoperative, burnout, mentally overworked (study, worries), acute illness, growth. Often the complaints only arise after the stress period, or during a holiday or a day off. As long as they continue, there is nothing wrong or nothing seems wrong. Diligence and a sense of duty, not so much an obligation: there is a way out, but the choice has been made, and after this, there is no deviation. Persevering. They can identify with that best. However, persevering is a theme; it can also be the burdensome factor, an exhausting obligation. They do not make the world seem more beautiful than it is, do not use fantasy, and do not romanticize the situation. They think and feel very concretely, they also act in that way and can therefore enjoy it. They live very much in the moment, this is a quality that can be pleasant or even taxing, depending on the circumstances and the possibilities. The way to somewhere is more important than reaching the end goal. Being busy gives more satisfaction than the result.

Recognition points from case studies
Type of complaints: exhaustion is often central, mentally, emotionally, and/or physically.
Exhaustion of the nervous system: lack of willpower and overview. Pfeiffer and other exhausting viral diseases, burnout, chronic fatigue syndrome, wear and tear, postoperative, growth. Gastrointestinal digestion, urogenital, adrenal exhaustion, and hormonal. Lymph spleen taxed/overloaded (compensation system?).
Clinically, the complaints from the case studies used were too diverse to extract group characteristics from them. Below is a list of impressions and expressions that were decisive for the various cases:
Stocky, heavy build
Shy impression, not at ease
Laughing cheerfully, in between 'biting her teeth'
Tired, 'I keep it up'
Not loved
Caring, caring for
Forced
Stomach and intestines
Big, sturdy, assertive
No nonsense
Toiling
away, no fun
Bad luck, for peanuts
Financial poverty
Exhaustion, but you have to keep going
Big, sturdy, keeping your head above water
Not being able to get to it (active, passive): distance, alone, unsociable
Not much fun, on his
Thrusting through
Obligations <, doing fun things, and being allowed to be lazy >
Obligation versus relaxation
Sturdy, proud, right
I have to do everything, say everything, and direct everything
Optimistic
Strong, tired, rolling up your sleeves and tackling, only the bare necessities, no time for reflection or enjoyment
Not being able to keep up
Tired, listless, Pfeiffer
The courage is gone, no energy to tackle the day
Sighing and groaning
I want to do things I like, but first, the work has to be done (the set goal, the obligation), no frills.
Hard work, joker, jokes, carefree life
Hard work as a cause or compensation

Fabaceae and atmosphere.
The successful Fabaceae cases give an impression of a type of people, the atmosphere that surrounds them or that they create, or the atmosphere of the provoking factors, which are characteristic of Fabaceae themes. To describe these impressions and the feelings that they bring about, I refer to artistic expressions to be able to compare them. These comparisons can be a tool to be able to recognize the characteristics. In art, a compilation of information is expressed and passed on. In addition to giving a literal or symbolic meaning, a mental and factual message, which is philosophically not possible but biologically possible, art can emphasize an atmosphere more explicitly than what we can consciously perceive in our daily lives. By 'atmosphere' I mean here: the totality of impressions that someone gives you, in appearance and behavior, the way of doing things, the verbal and non-verbal signals; the associations that these evoke, whether or not in accordance with the expectation pattern: which or what kind of message someone conveys and how, the reflection and the mirroring. All of this is a whole of factors that are all observable, recognizable, and approximately nameable. In order to function properly, this information is largely filtered out of our day-to-day consciousness. Information that gives important impressions of what is going on with someone and what is wrong with someone. Experience shows that these factors have a clear correlation with specific complaint syndromes, and can therefore be helpful and sometimes even decisive in finding a suitable homeopathic medicine.

The atmosphere of Fabaceae in painting.
In painting, a characteristic painting for the atmosphere of the Fabaceae is 'The Potato Eaters' by Vincent van Gogh, the sober atmosphere is already striking enough and the associations with the working farm life reinforce this. Simplicity in existence, in the sense of having few possibilities or choices, work is central to being able to meet the primary (or the stated) needs of life. A meager existence (physical, emotional, or psychological), to which they can adapt, whether or not out of necessity. Great dependence on circumstances; with compliance, in the form of adapting and persevering, you get further than with creativity and innovation. The atmosphere and what is depicted can be found in casuistry; the emphasis is then more on the emotional than on the material level. More striking are the drawings by Van Gogh from his time in the Belgian mining region, where he tried to imitate the work of his great example Jean-François Millet. The art of simplicity. The theme, the action is central, an unavoidable sobriety due to the circumstances, but the power lies in the directness, the unmitigated depiction of the meaning. No Romantic or Mythical imagery, no abstractions, no impressions, no details that keep your interpretation open and stimulate it, no adjectives or associations. Exactly that which can be poignantly brought to the fore in Fabaceae casuistry. What is not expressed in the drawings is the ever-present humour of people who respond well to Fabaceae, even the most desperate. Perhaps this is the compensation. The humor I saw in Fabaceae indications can be self-mockery, they can see the humor in the situation. Often the humor is also cynical, as an expression of anger, when they feel the need to get even with someone. To get back at them, to get their own back. Entertaining or tasty plans, to take advantage of the other person in a comical way. It doesn’t get any further than making plans or in the worst case a delusion, they are much too afraid of their anger, their fire. They would like to, but you can’t do something like that, and deep down they know that they can’t do it at all.
A second example is the paintings of Stanislaw Wyspianski, a Polish painter (1869-1907); the emotional impressions of the paintings of his landscapes and children’s portraits, approach very well the ‘atmosphere’ of the people I saw reacting well to Fabaceae. His self-portraits also show a remarkable similarity with the people of Genista-tinctora case.
Literature.
In literature, the theme of the Fabaceae, the causal factors, the provoked behavior (compensation, overcompensation, or decompensation) as a result of environmental factors and traditions, can be found in books by the Englishman John Berger: stories from the trilogy `The Fruit of Their Labor`. After his career as a reviewer, this writer withdrew to the French Alps, lived there as a traditional inhabitant, and beautifully described the stories, the life, and the thoughts of the people from that region. Useful titles: ‘The Pig Earth’ and ‘Far Away from Here’. Less prosaically, the Fabaceae theme appears almost miasmatically in the books of Ben Traven. Painfully striking, as a black art form, but with much charm and passion from the politically tinged humanitarian drive of Traven, he writes about characters and circumstances in southern Mexico at the beginning of the twentieth century. For beginners and to ‘taste’ the Fabacea themes, the book ‘Mars naar het Oerwoud’ from the series ‘de Mahonie Arbeiders’ is recommended (for those interested in the appropriate stage for the main character, this book reads like a thriller), or in a milder form in his book ‘De Verhalen’. Marten Toonder: Heer Bommel en de Sloven.

Other approaches in art expressions:
Film: The atmosphere of the TV series Carnivale, pioneer time, working without a view of or need for a horizon.

Music: Tom Waits (Frankies Wild Years), Peteris Vasks (Musica Dolorosa)
Statute de Balzac by Rodin, especially its creation, is more than the end product.

Poetry
“To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour”.
(William Blake)

Postscript 2025
Connection to Qjure
Fabaceae characteristics can be extrapolated to the Fabales, as they are classified in Wonderful Plants and Qjure. All these families exhibit characteristics described under Phase 5 aspects, such as cheerfulness, exuberance, and enjoyment, as we know from the Nitrogeniums (Phase 5 corresponds to the characteristics of Stage 15). Conversely, the characteristics of Phase 5 apply to all families within the Fabales: ambition, desire for more, expansion, drive, enthusiasm, communication, and optimism. Characteristics we see in Stage 15 medicines, in the Phase, are more appropriate for the attitude to life, the influence they experience, or the sensitivity to it. Many characteristics can be further extrapolated to all the Fabidae, the Series 4 aspects, the Iron Series.
Fabidae: Theme: work, practical, making a difference in society or the outside world as a person, muscles, digestion, routine, control. Organs of digestion, the abdominal area as a zone of complaints, also related to stability, as we know in TCM as Spleen energy (this represents blood production, the spleen as an organ, and the processing and digestion of the pancreas – also processing psychological impressions, also blood sugar, restoring balance, stomach and especially duodenum and ileum. Digestion and the mucous membranes are the basis for health; if disrupted, it increases the risk of infections and allergies).
Section 44: The living environment they are focused on or sensitive to is the group outside the familiar family, the "outside world," school, village, the group where they will make a difference, achieve something, create something concrete. Regarding experience, or the place of consciousness, you can say that they live within their body, as a basis for experience and reference, and their orientation is outward, the outside world, the environment. Functioning independently. Rolling up their sleeves. Functioning as a person, without support from or being part of the family or your relatives. All this can be a challenge or a burden, as a solution, or as a theme.
