Mind
Eupatorium has the most classic form of influenza and fever of the whole family of Asteraceae: high fever with chill, shrvering, heat, dullness, sore, bruised and broken pains in muscles and bones. It's known for influenza (Clarke), measles, dengue fever, spot- ted fever, malaria, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
The most central mental concept is safety. They feel unsafe, unprotected by their parents and especially their father. Their father is absent or not making contact, not supporting them, or teasing them. They feel as a child that they have to do all on their own. But they cannot do that, it's too difficult, to strenuous for them to achieve what they want. They want to be hold, talked to, someone to help and be theie for them. They want to go home, to the safety of home.
They fear the world with its dangers. They feel they are not strong enough to resist it. The name Eupatorium means the good (=eu) father (=pater)
