Case 5.2
This is a case of a 40 years old woman that I gave Rosmarinus officinalis first in 30K later in 200K. It is not possible to evaluate the effect of the remedy correctly because she received more remedies intercurrently
- Gelsemium
- Cadmium sulphuricum
- Thuja occidentalis.
- Malicum acidum and
- Narcissus pseudonarcissus
But for two years now I have repeated Rosmarinus every now and again, until recently because the problem with acknowledgement seems to be resolved.
The remedy was given for menstrual complaints: menses early, painful and clotted in a Phosphor type with head pain (as a bathing cap) and delusion not appreciated.
Mind
This woman is the eldest of four sisters. Her father was a policeman, her mother an uncertain woman who has learned to stand up for herself and come out of the depression first with Lachesis, later with Elaps that was a far better remedy.
The patient married in the beginning of her twenties with the first man who was kind for her, a policeman. She never dared to express her wishes and say what she thought of her husband for fear of him leaving her. You could think of a Rosaceae, but her fear was not that she wouldn’t be loved, her fear was of being recognised, and that her recognition would lead to a loss of her relation. So she hid her feelings even for herself. During the years she took Rosmarinus she learned to see that that it was necessary to express herself to be true to herself. And she learned not to fear the consequences of her own opinions. She grieved about her years of untruth to herself, she felt the anger and pain of 20 years of irrevocable covering up. Now she has started a new relation where she dares to express anger and her own weakness.
