Bambusa arundinacea
Remedy code: 3-633.42.10
A three-year-old girl, twin. She now has 'night terrors', and has been often awake for three months. The last few weeks it has been very bad after the dog died. What she does is kick, scream, hit, and send the parents away. She is very active, during the day she also has intense tantrums. For weeks she has had a rash on her nose, she constantly scratches it open, mother is not allowed to apply anything to it. Lots of picking, fidgeting. The first night it started with 'ghosts', she was also cold and seemed feverish from the tantrum. The first time it started on vacation: 'I don't want to', she was stubborn, she found it exciting. She plays well with her peers and her sister. In the playroom, she is much into herself and sits with the teachers. It was also like this in the beginning, but now it starts all over again: she no longer participates with the group, and when a child comes near, she shuts down. She also starts putting stones in her mouth again just like when she was very little. She wants to go to school. Now she has a short fuse, aggressive towards her parents. It is more than a 'toddler struggle'. Not responsive. She doesn't want us to talk about her. She has a strong character and a very strong will, she doesn't give up, that is a family theme. Mother says 'I can't stand authority either, father is also stubborn'. Her health is good, occasionally she has a fever, then she wants to be left alone. She doesn't want to be in bed with her parents but does want her mother to sit by her, which is then demanding. Wants her place, and when she gets her room she becomes calm. At two years old she received Chamomilla and Squilla for colds.
Analysis
Silicon series: Her world is the family, she finds it exciting outside of that. Outside the safe situation of home and family, like on vacation, things go wrong. With emotion within the family, things go wrong. This is very characteristic, it colors the story, and is very determined, this points to the Liliidae or 633.
Phase 4: The mother with the two children in practice always went very well, there is much understanding, and it comes across very harmoniously. The family that is central as a living world (and experience) is self- evident for parents and children: characteristic of Phase 4. This leads to 633.40, the Commelinoids.
Phase 2: The self-evidence of the mother, not a trace of doubt points to Phase 4, the shyness of the girl points to Subphase 2. Her development, back to 'starting' in the group, fits (sub)Phase 2. This brings you to the Poaceae, 6 33 42, the family of grasses.
Stage 10: She is not shy at all, she walks through my room and opens doors and drawers in practice. Closes herself off, but indeed seems very demanding and sure of herself. Certainty, direct in her actions, fitting Stage 10. Within the family of Poaceae, Scholten has placed the medicine Bambusa in Stage 10. Prescription: Bambusa arundinacea C200.
Follow up after three weeks
The day she took it, she was already lying relaxed on her back snoring all night long, which was noticeable after weeks of poor sleep. She is now very mild, with no more aggression. Still a bit obstinate but not nearly as bad anymore. Sleep remains good. Eruptions are disappeared. In the playroom she is no longer shy, now she is more contrary. She remains healthy, the behavior regresses when her mother is pregnant again a year later (the stable situation of 633.40 is going to change, the situation is again uncertain, and the stressful factor is the theme of both Phase 4 and Subphase 2).
