HOMEOPATHIC PICTURE Mentally
TULIPA
The attention of people who need Tulipa goes primarilly to people close by, the family, the household. It is as if they live under a glass cover, their picture of the world is limited.
Tulipa people are solid, reliable and conservative.
They find it difficult to digest new information, especially when there are many new or strange ideas. When the source of a new idea is unknown it is more difficult for them to accept.
They tend to become restless and frustrated if they do not succeed according to their own view and high standards. They like to do and say meaningful things. They tend to be economical in all they are doing, in actions but also financially. Once they have fully understood a problem they tend to integrate it in their being, their life very quickly.
Their opinion can only be changed after strong evidence of the contrary. Therefore they might seem stubborn and blunt. Talking with the family brings more nuances and makes them become more gentle.
They have high standards and are very perfectionistic. Their strenghth is brougt to light by preparing themselves for the worst. So they might become workaholics. At the same time there is a fear for too much pressure.
Emotional
Emotionally Tulipa people are withdrawn in showing themselves. You could compare them with Natrium muriaticum.
They can have long static periods in which nothing happens, like the bulb waiting in the soil. They tend to be very mental: emotions of sadness and joy are experienced more mentally than sensed emotionally. When they are desperate however they can show their feelings, even the more shady without reserve.
Sadness can be salted away (like money), but when the tears come out, they can really break through, and the person can weep long and intensely.
When they meet resistance in their life they do not complain about it. They try to find a way to work through it and accept it as an opportunity to grow, which gives them safety through pain. Deep down they want to serve a higher purpose.
Often it is only vaguely felt, it is not as a mental knowledge. Like the flower that is a bit haughty, a Tulipa-patient can have an inner pride, which is expressed when you look for it.
Physical
External aspects: The face can be swollen with a shiny skin. Like Kali salts they can have swollen eyelids
