665.55.13 Teucrium scorodonia, Case
Case by Anton Kramer.
Man, 40, nose infections.
He has chronic and serious complaints of the nose: obstruction; nasal polyps; allergic rhinitis, hay fever, worse from house dust, in summer, with copious watery discharge and lachrymation. A correction of the nasal septum, salt water spray and corticosteroid sprays help very little. The obstruction of the nose creates difficulties in breathing, and he feels tired and dull. The hay fever is better when on holidays with his parents.
He has had psoriasis since the age of twenty three, extensive and intense; about 25% of the skin is involved, face, body, extremities. He has bright red spots of 2 to 20 centimeters with large thick scales. The psoriasis started at 23 when he was working abroad, away from home and his parents. He was homesick and worried about what might happen, like diseases or the death of his parents and family.
All of his complaints are worse from stress and tension and from his work as an information technology consultant.
He is spiritually oriented, in search for who he is; feeling that he is everything at the same time. He lost sight of who he is and how he develops due to his psoriasis. He feels confused and disappointed about not developing. He is sensitive to authorities, cannot stand injustice. He feels he is a difficult person because his truth is important and others should not disturb it.
His father imposed his will on the family. His older brother teased him a lot and his parents failed to protect him.
