A person who regresses to a childlike state after being deeply hurt.
Cicuta is a remedy of the plant kingdom. The theme of Cicuta is that the
patient has been hurt so deeply and horribly in the past by another human
being, especially a man,
that she regresses into a childlike state, and shuts out the rest of the
world.
She becomes extremely fearful, hateful, suspicious and contemptuous of men.
She gets violent and convulsive when excited or approached, and is especially
affected by horrible things and sad stories. This tremendous sensitivity and
reactivity of Cicuta, and also its shutting out the world, remind one of Opium,
to which it is closely related.
A Swiss colleague, Dr. Hansjorg Hee, narrated a case to me while he was in
India. It was the case of a child of 8-9 years, who had developed eczema of the
face.
One peculiarity of the eczema was that in spite of it being a wet eczema,
with oozing and crust formation, there was no itching.
Also, she had become withdrawn and taciturn. The problem had started a few
years earlier when her father told her the story of a girl, an angel, who had
been buried alive
in a coffin, and on awakening found all sorts of creatures creeping around
her. This story shocked the child so much that her whole attitude and mood
changed.
I suggested that she be given Cicuta, based on the following:
Horrible things, sad stories affect
her profoundly
Sadness from sad stories
Talk, indisposed to, desire to be
silent, taciturn
Man, shuns the foolishness, of
Sensitive to sad stories
Company, aversion to, avoids the
sight of people
Quiet disposition
Dullness, sluggishness
Combined with these, the rubric “Eruptions without itching” from Phatak’s
Repertory gives Cicuta. I heard from Dr. Hee that the patient did very well on
Cicuta, both mentally and physically.
Other rubrics:
Delusion, thinks he is again a
child
Answers when spoken to, yet knows
no one
Contemptuous
Dancing grotesque
Delusion, everything is strange
Misanthropy
Recognize, does not, his relatives
Unconsciousness, periodical
[Edouard Broussalian]
If you merely read what is in current (I mean “standard” or “classical”)
Materia Medica, you do not have the slightest chance of finding a prescription
for this remedy.
Indeed, it is almost exclusively prescribed on epileptic notions with
convulsions propagating towards the lower part of the body.
It is seldom you find any of these ‘heroic’ cases and we have to consider
more subtle indications. My attention was initially drawn to this very unusual
remedy when some cases where Nat-m. or Sulph seemed well indicated but failed.
With this study, I would like you to discover the very wide action of this
remedy (indeed one has to admit that homoeopathic remedies never have a limited
action).
Therefore, I will describe it in detail, starting with the less distinctive
features so as to place all the pieces of the jigsaw-puzzle until it reveals a
coherent picture of the remedy. Let’s start at the beginning, namely a few
botanical and pharmacological data.
Botany
Hahnemann’s usual preparation mode is used with tincture of fresh roots
gathered as soon as the plant starts blossoming. As seen in the picture here,
Cicuta belongs to the Umbelliferae family (the plant really looks like an
umbrella).
[Edouard Broussalian]
All the members of this family have an action on the nervous system, the
mucosa (catarrh), the skin (pustulous or scabby eruptions).
DD.: the remedy with Conium which develops slow symptoms of paralysis,
whereas Cicuta excites the nervous system and provokes spasms.
Both remedies bring on scabby eruptions, especially on the lip area where
Cicuta has cured cancers which were covered with yellowish secretions. Cicuta
does not have
the same powerful effect on glands as Conium (does).
In the field of spasmodic action, Asa foetida is close to Cicuta. It has a
well-known anti-peristaltic action– with the phenomenon of lump in the throat,
etc. This is a major remedy for hysteria more so than Cicuta which has less
analogy with this type of pathology. Asaf exhibits an extreme sensitivity, to
the point where one can hardly come
close to him when he is in pain. Cicuta also has this extreme sensitivity
as he needs to withdraw in order to escape from his aggression factors.
Mind
At first, studying the mental signs of the remedy does not reveal very
much. As long as the clue has not been found, it is difficult to have an idea
of the remedy since there
is such gibberish of information in total opposition to each other.
Absent minded, catalepsy, automatisms
Symptoms very often found in the Cicuta patient. For a long period of time,
he absolutely does not remember what is going on around him. Thus, you will
find students
who have missed entire sections of courses and who do not even realize they
have stopped taking notes.
When this phenomenon occurs, patients say they are literally
“disconnected”. I have even seen cases where the patient was voluntarily able
to put himself “off”.
Thanatose?
This way of evading is one of the first that leads to understanding this
remedy.
Frequent fits of absentmindedness of variable duration or he is so buried
in his thoughts that he is no longer aware of what goes on around him.n Hering,
we find an even deeper description of the phenomenon:
She knows no one, but when touched and spoken to, she answers
Suddenly consciousness returns, and she remembers nothing of what has
occurred. Loss of consciousness with open eyes, knows no one, but when touched
or spoken
to answers questions; consciousness returns suddenly, and she does not
remember what has passed; attacks twice a day.
This ability to immediately be ‘ back again’ whilst being in his own inner
world, is absolutely specific to this remedy. Care should be taken not to
mistake this symptom with that typical of Arnica or Baptisia. In this case, the
patient is in a stuporous state, replies when spoken to, then falls back into
lethargy. Whereas Cicuta can leave his inner world and is immediately able to
be “back again”, without reverting to obliviousness.
Quite often, we will also find a closely related sign to those just
described: a tendency to automatic actions (listed in Mind under
“Unconsciousness”). For example, the Cicuta patient takes his car every morning
for the same drive to his office. He is able to drive it in an automatic way
whilst being deeply in his thoughts or while being “disconnected”. This true
that when he has to run an errand in an opposite direction to the usual one, he
will probably drive several miles on his usual way before getting aware of his
mistake.
All these phenomena are readily aggravated by the tendency to be mistaken
in going to places and in estimating times. Since the patient has a strong
tendency to take refuge into his own world (to the point of ecstasy), he can
reach the point of mingling the present with the past (we find Dullness of
Senses symptoms, everything appears Strange).
You have here all the “ingredients” you need to diagnose of a Cicuta
subject.
Be sure to remember the above list, as it makes you understand this process
of a sensitive person feeling disappointed and consequently withdrawing into
his own world. Cicuta is able to regain cheerfulness and even gaiety every time
he feels appreciated or in a friendly environment, but generally he will not
willingly seek comfort or companionship, like Pulsatilla does.
Keep in mind these key-words:
Sensitivity, compassion, moral values
Disappointment, grief
Escape, withdrawal
Cicuta has to be added indisputably to the 1 grade in the rubric Ailment
from disappointment (as this is just a clinical note, we’ll need pathogenetic
confirmations to add
it to a higher grade some day).
Different adaptive mechanisms
Homeopathy teaches us to see both sides of the same hill. Every situation
has its own counterpart; every desire is subject to become an aversion, etc.
The French school for example, used to describe a Sepia portrait corresponding
to a worn out woman, dressed in black, sad and depressed. Practice shows that
in fact many Sepia cases look like
a “super” Nux-v, in overactive women.
Likewise, Cicuta is able to display two different pictures whilst
struggling to adapt itself in this cruel world. Here the passive mode, that is
the more classical one, and the sthenic modes, looking like Caust or Lyc for
example.
Passive Mode: The
Escape
Escape is quite symptomatic in various Cicuta aspects and at different
levels. First, we have seen the mental signs of absentmindedness or deep
reflection, they are only
some of many sides of Cicuta. Feeling repelled by human behavior, Cicuta
tries to run away from it.
Company, aversion to (3), strangers, presence of (3), avoids sight of
people (3), menses, during, desires to be left alone (1,1). Fear, crowd, in a
(1), people, of (1), people,
of, men (3,2). Home, desire to go (1). Indifference, external things, to
(1). Insanity, escape, tries to (1,1). Recognize not, relatives, his (1).
Suspicious (3). Talk, indisposed
to (1). Unconsciousness (2). Unconsciousness, conduct automatic (1),
periodical (2/3), recognizes no one but answers correctly when touched or
spoken to (1/1).
Work, mental work, evening (1,1/3).
Needless to say how infrequent are the extreme following symptoms: he no
longer recognizes his close ones and madness with attempt to escape…
This aversion to company leads us to talk about a frequent behavior. The
Cicuta patient no longer wants to meet people he does not know. He cannot stand
crowds, not because of a claustrophobia feeling as seen in several other
remedies, but because he feels repelled by the frequent instinctive reactions
of an anonymous crowd.
Cicuta patients describe quite acutely how they cannot stand the lack of
regard shown to others by people they come across (street scuffle, cigarette
butts thrown everywhere, etc…), so, rather than getting angry and rebelling,
they prefer not to be confronted with it.
Indignation is an omnipresent component in Cicuta. This reminds us of
Staphysagria, a remedy for the wounded dignity of someone who avoids conflicts,
refusing to quarrel.
Cicuta will find refuge in intellectual work. The repertory only mentions
this evening modality but we often find people who like to carry on literary or
philosophical works, etc… Depending on previously mentioned circumstances, the
Cicuta patient is often taciturn, distrustful and not very talkative.
Active Mode:
Provocation, anger
The depressive description of the disappointed philanthropist appeared to
me initially. Upon developing a better knowledge of the remedy, I have
discovered that there are often very sthenic forms of the remedy, prior to the
patient’s withdrawal on himself, exhausted by his permanent struggles.
In these conditions, we often find an easily irritable patient who gets
angry while voicing his indignation on subjects he feels concerned with: the
way employees are treated
in such factories, our governing heads’ corruption, etc… I have noticed
that many teachers are possible Cicuta subjects. Indeed, these people are often
idealistic, sometimes to the point of utopia. They feel directly shocked by the
harsh reality of a crushing administration. All the conditions are there to
reveal Cicuta cases.
The first signs of backing out are “I can no longer stand to be in a group,
I am rejected, I am troublesome”. But the patient still has enough energy to
pursue his fights and stand up for his ideals.
How will he react?
To my knowledge, there are two types of reactions which, sometimes, can be
found in the same person.
1. Provocation, contestation
Initially, provings show a childish behavior linked to epilepsy. A woman on
coming out of the cataleptic attacks often takes on childish behavior. A man
thinks that he is
a child and acts like one; silly laughter, playing with toys, and other
acts of childish behavior..[Kent]
Considering the cases I have come across, I think the reality (I mean, at
the present day) is more subtle. In fact, this wounded subject tries to attract
attention on his suffering, although without seeking consolation. This
attitude, somewhat haughty and proud, warrants the place of the remedy in the
followings rubrics:
Censorious, critical (1). Haughty (1). Contemptuous (1). Reproaches (1)
Feeling constantly disappointed, Cicuta is reproachful to everyone and can
come to have a haughty way, considering himself above everyone else since he
thinks he is the only one to have human and moral values in this “degenerated
world”.
Platinum is one of the differential diagnoses. Plat always has an
authoritative side and shows off in eccentric, costly and very immodest
clothes, whereas Cic does not like
to show off and does not care about his look (it could even be an
additional contestation). It is a fact that Plat is often a very idealistic
person also disappointed by reality.
This disappointment in Platinum is compensated either by a “Natrum aspect”
when patients keep dwelling on sad things of the past, or by an unrestrained
narcissism.
This is in no way like Cicuta. The sexual drive is very strong in Plat,
this is not the case in Cicuta.
As his sensitiveness does not allow him to easily show his feelings –
remember that Cicuta is aggravated while speaking of unpleasant things – acting
then like a clown to be noticed is the only option left for him.
Cheerful (3). Childish (3). Dancing(2); grotesque, (2). Foolish behavior
(1). Gestures (1); ridiculous or foolish (1). Jesting (2); ridiculous (2). Laughing
(1); silly (1). Shrieking (3). Singing (2). Weeping (3), aloud (1).
Our sensitive Cicuta will not hesitate to joke grossly, to make people
laugh at all costs, to act like a clown, to sing, etc… It looks like a sort of
provocation or an attempt to ward off his own sensitiveness in trying to appear
as rude or rustic as possible, which really is in total opposition to what he
truly is.
Anger
Sometimes, he feels so fed up that his inner anger bursts out.
In the repertory, we find some interesting rubrics:
Answer, abruptly (2). Discontented (1). Hatred (3). Impulsive (2).
Irritability (1). Malicious (1). Rage, fury (1). Sensitivity, noise (1).
Violent (3). Violent, deeds, leading to (1).
Our Cic subject can then express all the resentment he feels against people
who offended him (Staph); but there again the anger has seldom something to do
with personal matters, it’s rather directed towards people – he thinks –
involved in anti-humanitarian actions. Therefore, we discover that Nat-m is not
the only remedy to have this
“Indian hate”, as mentioned by Lathoud, Cicuta can also be very caustic.
Impulses can often be overwhelming and the person will have real fits of
rage.With such a behavior one should also think of Nux Vomica: sensitivity to
noise, sympathetic. Sometimes, the Cicuta patient only shows these fits of
anger and his sensitivity to noise, which is the reason why it can be confused
with Nux. However, we’ll see that Nux usual modalities are not there, there is
no desire for “good food”, wine, coffee, spicy food, no insomnia, no bloating,
no fussiness. This means that Cicuta should come to mind.
Other neurological issues
Although nowadays Cicuta is rarely prescribed for epileptic troubles or
chorea, this remedy is nevertheless still “flirting” with neurological
phenomena.
Shocks and shakes
These symptoms are often found in various entries of the repertory:
Head: Motions of,
jerking (2), jerking, lying on back (2), backward (2), talking (2/1); Shocks,
in head (2), electrical (2), cold, air (2/1), motion, on (2), sudden (2),
extending, extremities, to (3/3).
Stomach: Shocks (3).
Shocks, convulsions, before (3/1).
Back: Pain, jerking,
coccyx (2,2), coccyx, menses, during (2/1); Shocks, along spine (1), dorsal (1).
Extremities: Jerking
(3), upper limbs (3), left (2), forearm (3), talking, while (1/1), fingers (3),
fingers, epilepsy, in (3/1), lower limbs (3), foot (2); Shocks sensation of(2),
upper limbs (3), left (2), lower limbs (2), violent, causes leg to jerk (1/1).
Generals: Jerking
internally (1), convulsions, like (2), muscles (3,2); Pain, jerking, externally
(1); Shocks, electric like (2), cerebral commotion, from (1/1), sense, return
of the,
on (1/1).
There is a wide spectrum of symptoms going from the feeling of shock, like
an electrical shock, to the actual shaking of a limb. Epileptic patients
acutely describe the feeling
of a shock in the stomach just before having a fit. I would recommend
systematically looking for the feeling of a sudden shock in the head, since
many patients experience it. Before pointing this out to them, it is something
they have a hard time defining as it is a sudden shock with a variable loss of
senses, vision, although it is not like an ordinary positional vertigo. This
feeling will often propagate in the rachis and feels like the brain is dropping
out.
At other times, as the patient is quietly sitting in front of his TV set,
he will jolt everyone by suddenly stretching a limb.
Nat-m.mainly has lower limbs restlessness, also known as “the fidgets”. He
also has shakes when falling asleep, which differs from Cicuta who has sudden
discharges while being awake. Sudden starts and sensitivity to touch
The following headings give an idea on the remedy’s nervous sensitiveness:
Frightened, easily (2). Starting (1). Starting, noise, from (3,2), easily
(3,2), fright, from (3,2), bed, in (0/3)
Touch brings about numerous troubles, the Cicuta patient feels countless
contused pains, the slightest touch is painful. In common cases, touch causes
sudden starts, it can go to the point of convulsions…. The person is easily
frightened, which is showed by jumps, but Kent gives examples where children
start squinting whenever they are scared.
Sensitiv to touch, sudden starts, shocks in the stomach area also remind us
of Kalium carbonicum. The resemblance stops here, Kali-c being a conservator,
down to earth and very regular in everything. However, Kali-c often shows a
sensitiveness for what is fair or unfair, while Cicuta is concerned with
humanity’s well being.
Kali-c tends to cling on, with a fear of letting go, for example, it often
is the remedy for women who stay with husbands who give them a lot of trouble.
On the opposite, Cicuta slowly breaks away from everyone. Moreover, Kali-c
does not have as strong a tendency to convulsions as Cicuta.
After-effects of head and rachis injuries
Again, it is difficult to get away from Nat-m which also shows this
modality. In fact, Cicuta is a major remedy for traumas, not only for mental
ones:
Head: Concussion of
brain (3). Pain, injuries, after (2,2). Injuries of head, from (2).
Stomach: Shocks (3).
Shocks, convulsions, before (3/1).
Mind: Injuries,
mental symptoms following (1). Sadness, injuries of the head, from (2).
Throat: Injuries
oesophagus (2/1), splinter, bone (2/1), convulsions, provokes (2/1).
Generals: Injuries,
concussion (1), glands (1). Shock injuries, from (2). Shock electric like,
concussion of brain, from(1/1). Convulsions, commotion of the brain (3),
splinter
in throat (2/1), injuries (2). Wounds (1)5, knife (1), splinters (3,2),
penetrating (1).
Vertigo
The Cicuta patient often has dizzy spells, which is easy to understand,
considering the nervous irritation specific of the remedy. Of course, it can be
dizziness following cranial trauma, but there are many kinds of dizziness.
There can often be a tendency to stagger, wobble, and sometimes fall. It can
also be a very strong orthostatic sickish feeling with loss of vision and the
classical feelings of shake in the head and drop of the brain, etc..
Meningitis
Fortunately, we no longer find cases such as described by Kent, but in
order to be exhaustive on the subject, you will find below his much detailed
description:
It has cured cerebro-spinal meningitis when there were convulsions and the
convulsions were aggravated from touch, with fever and even spotted mottled
skin. Mind and head symptoms after injuries. On going into a cerebro-spinal
meningitis the patient sits in a chair talking as if nothing were wrong, when,
quick as a flash, he passes into another state in which be knows no one; he
falls over limp, he is put to bed, and though he answers questions he remains
in a semi conscious state, knowing no one.
This may change into a spasm. The head is bent back in spasms; jerking back
of the head; spasms begin in the head and go downward. Violent shocks in the
head, arms and legs. Head hot and extremities cold, like Bell. in its
convulsions. Sweat on the scalp when sleeping. Child rolls head from side to
side. Hot head.
Convulsive action about the eyes; pupils dilated and insensible patient
lies fixed in one place, with starting, fixed, glassy, upturned eyes, like
Cupr-met.
Strabismus may be the only spasm the child is subject to from cerebral
irritation. Every time the child is frightened it has strabismus; when touched
or when it has cold, or after a fall biting the head, or coming periodically,
it has strabismus.
Skin issues: Rashes
To complete the picture, let’s not forget rashes. Although there are
numerous sorts of rashes in Cicuta, I focus on the cephalic extremity which is
most frequently concerned.
Face
There are rashes on the beard or on the side-whiskers. Generally speaking,
we can say that Cicuta shows rashes on all the hairy parts (beard, eyebrows,
chest, etc…).
Cicuta is also very helpful with aftershaving rashes.
Scalp
It is the typical scabby eczema on the head. Scabs in addition to
convulsions are quite exclusively found in Cicuta (Morrison). Sometimes, it can
only be common dandruff,
but generally the Cicuta patient has scabs exuding with yellowish
serosities, which can bleed when removed.
Other characteristics
Alimentary
I have never met any patient with marked alimentary cravings. Typically,
Cicuta feels like eating stodgy (langweilig/unverdaulich) foods, coal, etc… He
also craves for alcohol, cabbage and starchy foods.
Ulcerations
The remedy is able to provoke all sorts of ulcerations. Kent mentions cases
of cancers on the corner of lip cured by Conium. However, although this is not
mentioned in the repertory, Cicuta cures, just as well, stomach ulcers. In the
case of strong annoyances, instead of systematically thinking of Lyc. or
Nat-m., remember Cicuta.
Foot position
In the repertory you will find a rubric where Cicuta is the only remedy at
the 1st grade: walks on the external side of the foot.
Observing several Cicuta subjects has enabled me to go deeper into the
meaning of this symptom. It is not so much a way of walking, but rather of
keeping the foot on the external side, varus-like. When you meet teenagers
going through an existential crisis, disappointed in humanity, who like to sit
anywhere with their feet in that position, do
not give Staph, nor Nat-m., but Cicuta. This is typical of the remedy.
Clinical case:
Here is a typical case of a decompensated form as reported by our friend,
Dr. Emmanuel Blesch of Yutz.
“Strung out”
Yves is a guitar maker; a friend suggested that he would come for a
consultation. He is exhausted; tall, dark complexion, sparse hair on the
frontline, he comes into my small office, glancing furtively and anxiously.
Feeling uneasy, he sits in front of me with his feet strangely positioned on
the external side (varus) and not flat on the floor. The look is gentle, a bit
anxious, he looks tired; he has rings around his eyes in spite of a smiling
air. Right away I find him likeable and the contact is easily made.
His professional life is not simple: although he loves his work, making
string instruments is a meticulous work and the pitiless law-market makes it
unprofitable. He confides to me that his banker was due to lend him money but
in the last minute, he retracted; all this upset his plans and he was stuck
with anticipated purchases contracts, a ludicrous situation he cannot cope
with. He wants to leave everything, he is fed up and his vision of the present
world has become very pessimistic; he smokes enormously, sleeps badly, drinks
coffee; he is discouraged, considering the misery of current events with
compassion and weariness. Further on in the conversation, he tells me that he
went to India a long time ago, where he had enjoyed the “freedom” and
“selflessness” aspects.
He prescribed Cicuta 30CH.
In the next few days, he told me that everything has cleared up; he is more
detached from his problems, hardly smokes and is making many plans. Two months
later he comes back saying he feels fragile again, due to court affairs not
completely settled and which bring back anxiety.
Since then, no news, good news!
In this case, the major symptom for this man is his need to break away from
an unbearable and crazy world.
Conclusions
Now that we have studied Cicuta in detail, as always, I dread abusive
prescriptions of this remedy, in cases where Nat-m., Sulph. or Staph. would be
a better indication.
Cicuta is a very valuable remedy which can be surprising if one knows how to
track it down. Indeed, I think that further observations in the future will
increase our knowledge of this very interesting remedy, which may resemble some
others, but which has its specific personality.
It can be added to the following rubrics:
