Hello, today I am going to write about very useful and interesting medicine Hamamelis.
This medicine is commonly known for its action on varicose vein but when we study its mind symptoms it opens door for many other diseases where you can prescribe it confidently!
Hamamelis has a main core feeling of being disrespected, neglected, scorned, devalued leading to anger, indifference and conflict.
When they don’t get their due respect they complain, lament and goes in despair. So here its very important to remember that they are demanding the respect they deserve and not the flattery.
IMP MIND RUBRICS WITH MEANING
- delusion despised he is — people around him are not giving him due respect which he deserves leading to conflict
- reverence for those around him — gives respect to people around him and expects the same
- ailments from not being appreciated
- sadness slight from an undeserved — means slightest undeserving things makes her sad
- delusion he/she is neglected
- ailments from reprimands -agg from criticism
- admonition aggravation — simple advice leads to anger
- conversation desire for sublime- means they want their due respect in any conversation
- delusion scorned being — looked down upon
- forsaken feeling / isolation feeling / feeling alone
- ailments from anger with indignation
- varicose vein — blockages which he cant remove- his own negativity, own people who is not giving him due respect
- tranquility hemorrhages in — feels calm after hemorrhages (rectal, uterine)— when his own people who disrespects him are not with him feels better
- indifferent — aversion to members of his family
- starts lamenting about his sickness, trifles, not being appreciated
- delusion he is dissolving — his value, identity is dissolving
- sensitivity to opinion of others
- cannot express oneself after being neglected though previously was haughty and carefree
- So the journey starts from a carefree, haughty, empathetic person to a sad, indifferent, lamenting, sensitive and mortified person who cannot express oneself because of feeling of being neglected, scorned, disrespected, criticized
Few keynotes from DR SARKAR
- Pain with venous pathology + Staph-like mind + hemorrhages.
- This patient wants respect shown to him and feels like he deserves it
- Hemorrhages: anxiety, with no
- Non-coagulative blood, dark in color
- Piles bleeding, with pain
- Pain aggravated from movement and pressure
- In intraocular hemorrhage it has often done wonders
- In orchitis, tender, aggravated by touch and pressure
- tumors with vascular origin
- Dark, clotted hemorrhage with pain in the umbilicus and backache is the main indication for this remedy
compare — staph, natrum, sepia
CASE — Case of a 15 yr old girl came for painful and profuse periods, bleeding is dark clotted, hot patient. Her main feeling was of being neglected, her opinion was not given due respect leading to conflict. On this core feeling and her chief complaint Hamamelis was prescribed which gave a beautiful result.
So today we learned about hamamelis, hope it gives you new insight in your practice while prescribing it.
