Compositae Anhängsel
Gemeinsames: sie versuchen stärker zu sein als sie sind oder anders ausgedrückt, Menschen die für ihre Verletzung ein Korbblütler als homöopathisches Mittel benötigen, sind
hart im Nehmen und stecken einiges weg. So ist es typisch für eine Arnika-Verletzung, dass der Verletzte meint, er hätte nichts und sei gesund und es sogar ablehnt sich von
einem Arzt untersuchen zu lassen,
obwohl er offenkundig unter einer schweren Verletzung wie beispielsweise einem
Schädel-Hirn-Trauma oder einer Gehirnerschütterung leidet.
process
being highly developed. Also has an affinity to the silica process that goes
beyond the family type. ‡
Sensation of being injured or hurt this expresses itself in all remedies
of the family, in different ways.
Arn.: sensation directly as a bruised pain.
Cham. reacts by hurting others.
But the main feeling in all of them remains common.
The sensation could be expressed in four different ways viz. as the sensation
itself, as a passive reaction, as an active reaction, or as compensation. For
example if the sensation
is being injured or hurt, the passive reaction is to get dazed, the
active reaction is to strike back and the compensation is to become the tough
one who can take any hurt.
On closer examination we realize that all the remedies of a given family
have all these types of expressions, though one type is better known in each
specific remedy.
How each remedy in a family differs:
Despite the common feeling or sensation, there is a wide difference in
the pictures or symptomatology of the various remedies in the same family.
This difference is because they belong to different miasms. In other
words, this means that though the sensation is common, each remedy perceives it
in a different depth and
degree of desperation, and this accounts for the difference in the
symptoms.
[Dr. Sankaran]
Using the Botanical system of classification, I started to study
remedies in groups according to their families with a purpose to find the
common features between each
of them. Initially, there was a lot of difficulty. For example, the
family Ranunculaceae incl. Acon. Puls. and Staph: on the first glance the
intense fear of death that marks
the Aconitum napellus state seems to have to do nothing with either the
mildness or the weeping nature of Pulsatilla or the indignation of
Staphysagria.
But then, I understood that the main issue in the plant kingdom is
sensitivity. They are affected by physical and chemical changes in their
environment. Sound, light, chemical substances and various other stimuli have
an effect on the growth of plants. A plant remedy has an intense sensitivity to
certain stimuli and situations. Those situations or
stimuli affect him, producing within him a sensation which is specific
to the plant family he belongs to. Therefore, what you will see in the plant
remedies will be a prominence
of the sensation, a particular sensation in a given family and its
opposite.
So I was faced with a question where I could find the sensitivity best
expressed in the symptomatology. The answer is in the sensations, in the type
of pain, in the sensation
of the pain etc. So I searched the Repertory using a software program,
MacRepertory and the Reference Works, and to my utter joy, I found that
remedies from a particular
family shared at least one common sensation or type of pain. For
example, you know very well that the remedies of the Compositae family share
the sensation of “injury or
hurt” (Arn. expresses this sensation directly as a ‘bruised pain’, yet
Cham. experiences the same as a reaction by causing pain or hurt to others).
So a Plant remedy or a person functions along one axis of experience.
Almost every one of their experiences in life can be brought down to that
sensation and its opposite.
For this, I used MacRepertory created by my friend David Warkentin,
since it has a good search function across a large number of standard books,
but I believe any good
software with that function would serve the same purpose. I used the
program to search the whole repertory and list those rubrics that had any two,
or in some cases any
three or four remedies in a plant group, limiting the list to only those
rubrics that contain fifty remedies. This would include rubrics from every
chapter of the repertory, incl.
Mind, Generalities, and the different regions.
Once this list was obtained, I commanded the program to arrange this
rubric list according to the number of remedies in the rubric, starting with
the least number of remedies.
Going down the list, I would look for a sensation or a feeling that
would be a possible common factor in the remedies of that family. I would look
for sensations (those I had
not heard of in other families) and those which, (with my knowledge of
some of the remedies of that family) I could co-relate and connect with the
remedies.
This would occasionally help me to zoom in on the characteristic
sensation of the family.
Once I had come to a possible common sensation of that family, the next step
was to test it out in each individual member of the family, starting with the
better known ones.
I used, primarily, Phatak’s Materia Medica or the book of Repertory
extractions, which are part of material medica programs. I tried to be as
objective as possible in this study.
One of the yardsticks I used was to see if the most characteristic
symptoms of the remedy being studied had the family sensation directly or
indirectly.
The second confirmation I sought was to see if the Mind picture of the
remedies of the given family had a reflection of the general sensation that I
had hypothesized.
If I did not find enough proof, so I had to go back to the list to make
a different search by including other remedies of that family.

Phase: 4; Subphase: 5.
Astereae, 170 genera; ± 3000 species.
Gnaphalieae: ± 1300 species; Everlastings; Pussy’s-toes tribe;
Antennarias are found in groups which can be all-female colonies,
all-male colonies and also mixed colonies.
Calenduleae: 8 genera; 120 species.
Taxonomy
Tribe of the Subfamily Asteroideae of Asteraceae. It forms a clade
together with Gnaphalieae, Calenduleae and Anthemideae.
The placement of Inuleae and Plucheae is unsure, sometimes as an early
diverging lineage of Asteroideae near Astereae, sometimes near Heliantheae in
the broad sense.
In the Plant theory Asteroideae is split in 4 clades Heliantheae,
Astereae, Senecioneae and Anthemideae. Astereae is placed in Subphase 5,
together with the Subfamilies Gnaphalieae, Calenduleae,
The central theme is that of respect. They feel they have an inner
strength and dignity, that they have many talents and are very good observers.
They have an enthusiasm
that can bring them far.
But often
When they feel sure and strong, they can be boasting, sometimes even
forcing and controlling others.
They can sometimes over shout their own sensitivities. They feel better
and greater than others.
When they are weak and unsure, they get the feeling of being walked
over. Feel that they are not seen, overlooked or that others just run over them
as unimportant
persons or persons standing in the way.
They can endure much, become silent, go inside, live their own internal
life. They are able to survive where others would have given up or died. They
shrink to survive.
They are often very refined, having a kind of fragility. They are often
not able to cope with the rough world.
They expect others to understand their refinement but many do not. So
they have to shrink their place and take less room as they cannot stand up
fiercely for
themselves.
When others degrade them they start doubting themselves. They can hardly
imagine that others do not understand their sensitivity and wisdom.
Mind:
They feel unappreciated, not valued for what they do and are.
They are often abused by others.
Enthusiasm, cheerful, excitement; funny.
Competitive; ambitious.

“The bruised feeling of Eupat. + a deep hard aching, as if in the
bones” (Leaders). Like the Compositae remedies, and emphasized here, is the
symptom of being sad from hurt.
[S.R. Phatak]
Cina.: The phrase ‘shocks from pain’
seems to be a central symptom
Abrot.: suppressed hurt with
helplessness.
[David Quinn]
Bell-p. = Lily representative of
compositae/hurt of being excluded (mobbing?)
Compositae family for instance, the feeling shared by all the remedies
of this family is of hurt - mental or physical hurt. Each remedy of the
Compositae family has a different kind of hurt.
Arnica.: hurt of being injured. Fear of
being struck, the weakness of the tissues, of the muscles and of the blood
vessels. Because of this hurt which corresponds to being struck, there can
develop in a lot of fear and anguish (at night).
Cham.: hurt with pains that are
mortifying. hurt of mortification. The suppression of this leads the person
into wanting to not be mortified in general, which generates a sensitivity to
vexation, to Insult and to being scorned. In Chamomilla an expression of greatness,
the opposite to mortified, “Delusion council, holding a” and “Indignation” (Dr
Chawla). The hurt, injured feeling of compositae together with the
mortification creates tremendous sensitivity to pain. It can be a state where
the pains are mortifying. The sensations individual to Chamomilla are of pains
that are vexing, irritating, it is a sheer anguish from pain, there is cutting
pains, jerking and twitching from pains heading towards convulsions.
Cina.:
something ‘shocking’ the person. more like the feeling of pains that are
shocking you, like something giving you ‘shocks of pain’. We see this also in
the symptom “paralysed shocks: patient will jump suddenly as though in pain”
(Dr Boericke). It is a singular symptom of Cina “Mind; Jumping sudden, as if in
pain” (Dr Chawla). There are many sensations in Cina of pinching pains, the
child jerks from pain. They tremble twitch and can convulse from these shocking
and irritating pains. Much like the Loganiaceae remedies the pains can become
paralysing from the shocks.
The feeling of Eupatorium perfoliatum seems to be like the
hurt of ‘aching’ pains, as if the bones were broken or dislocated. These pains
have a great tendency of producing much irritability and therefore the affinity
for the malarial disposition is compounded. The Compositae ‘bruised soreness as
if beaten’ in Eupatorium is an aching soreness.
The common feeling universal to all the proved remedies derived from the
Loganiaceae family has been worked out by Rajan Sankaran to be like being
‘shocked’ by something, like the experience of something upsetting you and
shocking you. This he further describes as being ‘shattered’, and also like
having been let-down or disappointed.
Sulph. Lyc. and Calc. are the three cardinal
anti-psoric remedies in “Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases” (1828).
It is no accident that Sulph. is a mineral, Lyc. is a plant, and Calc.
is an animal remedy. These 3 chronic medicines hold the model for the 3
Kingdoms in the treatment of the chronic diseases and miasms.
Group Studies
I don't think an entire genus group like the botanical Compositae family
can be definitively reduced to a few words that are supposed to represent the
essence all the remedies.
This is an over simplification.
The Compositae family does have its characteristic causations, signs and
symptoms that make it unique.
Die Überempfindlichkeit und Verletzlichkeit sowohl im körperlichen als auch im seelischen und auch in den träumen erlebt ist sehr deutlich.
Compositae.
In folk medicine used for shock, traumas, bruises, liver and blood
dyscrasia, nervous conditions, spasms, respiratory catarrh, Sepsis. and worms.
The regional affinities of the Compositae are the Sensorium; mind,
BRAIN, Nervous system; respiratory system; immune system; vital organs, HEART, lungs,
LIVER, spleen, kidneys;
DIGESTIVE ORGANS, gall bladder, stomach; circulation, BLOOD, blood
vessels and veins; MUSCLES, Tendons, and Bones; Mucus membranes. Complaints of
INJURED, babies, dentition, the young and the aged as in infants and grandparents.
Many of the Compositae represent sudden shocks, traumatism, injury and
wounds. These remedies have a feeling “As if SHOCKED, BRUISED, TRAUMATIZED,
VICTIMIZED, WOUNDED and "DISLOCATED". There is a need to "get it
all back together" and start living again. This is a contrary group of
remedies that act with a mixture
of defensiveness with fear of interference, injury, invasion, and attack
as well as aggression, abuse and striking out. The Compositae patients do not
really like to be approached, moved, or TOUCHED because they are < worse
contact (emotional and physical), jar, being hit, or sudden movements. Many of
these remedies have NEVER been WELL SINCE SHOCKS, TRAUMAS, OPERATIONS, WOUNDS
and INJURIES.
The Compositae construction is reminiscent of the complex structures of
similar cells in the vital organs like the brain, lungs, liver, heart, spleen,
and kidneys. Many of these remedies have very strong affinities with organs and
regions. They are also useful in acute and chronic one-sided states centered in
these areas. The more plethoric sanguine elements show symptoms like flushes of
heat, heart and circulatory problems, easy haemorrhages, bloody discharges and
blood poisoning.
Many Compositae are useful in cancer treatment.
Some of these also very useful in infections, worms, parasites, septic
states, rapid decomposition + nervous complications, continued and remittent
fevers.
Here there is a mixture of high fever, chill and sweats with bone and
muscles aches, hard bed sensations, prostration, and restlessness. These
remedies are characteristic of many acute crisis, acute miasms, zymotic
diseases, parasitical, and worm diseases. Such remedies are antiviral,
antibiotic, antiseptic and anhelmithic. The Compositae are insect resistant
(Calen/Chrysan).
The plants have delicate root systems, longish stems, and larger flower
heads. Sometimes the roots are too weak to hold their flower heads up just like
the way the patient feels
dizzy and must lie down because of great weakness. The Compositae
produce prostration of the brain, spasms of the nervous system, with aching
muscles with deep bones.
The Compositae remedies have particular seasons, periodicity, and
epidemics. Compositae flowers grow in fields and areas with access to sunlight
and they change their position with the sun and the patient is < cold,
excitability, restlessness, changeable, and subject to mood swings. Most of the
Compositae < cloudy, damp weather. Many flowers are
brightly colored, yellow, orange, and red colors while others are
lighter colors. These colors are found in the symptoms of various remedies.
Many of these flowers act on the
brain and nervous elements, bilious humour, the digestive system and the
sanguine humor, heart and blood, lungs and breathing.
The small inner flowers that make up the ray of small flowers that move
out from a navel and these remedies are known for the pains of the umbilical
region. The umbilicus represents instinctive nourishment, as this is the source
of the cord that feeds the fetus in the womb. Many of these known for strong
effect on the abdominal organs, mal nourishment, bilious states, abdominal
pains, and digestive upsets. The spleen, the filter of melancholy, adds
symptoms of melancholia and hypochondria as well as decomposed discharges. Some
of the Compositae tend to become very BILIOUS, irritable, angry, defensive,
morose, and sometimes are offensive and abusive when ill. These remedies easily
loss mental control during crisis or illnesses and fear death. In general, they
are more morose then melancholic.
Many of the Compositae remedies have an effect on CONVULSIONS, spasmodic
diseases and digestive complaints, sometimes as reflex symptoms of worms. This
tendency
is found in a particular group of Compositae.
Some of the Compositae flowers are known for their strong smell as well
as power to produce allergenic diseases, hay fever, sneezing, asthma, yawning,
and fainting.
As decorative flowers they give off pleasant odors as well as pollen
that causes HAY FEVER, allergies, and other idiosyncratic reactions. These are
disease of the air, nervous system, and respiratory system.
The emotional disposition suffers from mood changes and feelings of
being venerable, delicate, and sensitive with fear of being hurt, touched or
approached physically as well
as mentally. The sensitivity of these plants is shown in the symptoms of
excitable but worse < excitement. In the beginning the flowers in bloom
stimulate the mind, emotion
and senses but in the end they produce the state of sensory depression,
dullness, and forgetfulness.
Temperament: moody, changeable, fearful, nervous, and restlessness #
contradictory states, irritability, anger and moroseness. + < change and
motion which leaves them
frustrated. They are troublesome patients in that they do not answer
questions well either out of dullness, denial, +/o. irritability. They are very
contrary, act as if they can
stand it no longer it, and lose control of their mind and senses. These
flowers are associated with profuse dreaming of complex subjects that are not
well remembered in the
morning. At night the sensorium is vividly active but in the daytime it
is depressed. The Compositae yawn when tired, under stress, and even when
sleeping! In some of these
plants this causes <.
In reviewing the Compositae symptoms there is plethora, cardiovascular,
rheumatic, and arthritic diathesis with soreness, stitching, aching, bruised
feelings, hard bed sensations, inflamed tissue,
“AS IF BEATEN or BROKEN IN PIECES”. Many have strong sanguine
tendencies. There are also rheumatic-like conditions with concomitant heart,
liver and kidney diseases, arthritis, urinary cystitis, urethral discharges,
gonorrhea and sycosis. These flowers feel as if the mind, head, temples, eyes,
forehead, muscles, organs, bones have been traumatized. They are always trying
to release stress and stiffness by stretching but there is much lassitude, and
they must lie down because of weakness, often associated with trembling.
The choleric-bilious elements of these flowers are a choleric
disposition in which they are very defensive, morose, angry, cross, contrary,
and so touchy that they wants to be left alone but are still demanding of
attention at the same time. A bilious mentality thinks the best defense is a good
offense and they can be quite abusive. This group can be quite domineering and
seek to take control by
Sanguine elements of the Compositae are demonstrated by plethora, heart
problems, strokes, hemorrhagic diathesis, bloody discharges, dysmennorhea,
metorrhagia and miscarriages, sometimes from injuring or exertion.
There is also easy bruising and internal bleeding. Many of these
remedies demonstrate rheumatic and arthritic state with concomitant heart,
kidney, liver and circulatory problems. Remember these remedies in external and
internal bleeding.
The nervous elements incl. epilepsy, chorea, convulsions, tremor,
cramping pains, trembling, and spasmodic diseases. Prone to parasites and
reflex symptoms of parasites.
A strong respiratory idiosyncrasies with catarrh, sneezing, yawning, and
asthma. Here there is profuse discharge from the mucus membranes with pain in
the frontal bones and sinuses < on motion.
These remedies have sudden, periodic, or seasonal attacks when the
flowers bloom.
Bel-p. häufig angezeigt, wenn eine Frau bei der Geburt oder in anderen Situationen eine Verletzung im Bauchraum erlitten hat. Häufig erinnert die betroffene Frau lediglich die Schmerzen, aber nicht Gefühle zu den erlittenen Schmerzen. Gerade wenn es zu einer Traumatisierung in der Geburtssituation gekommen ist (beispielsweise durch einen wenig einfühlsamen Umgang mit der schwangeren Frau oder durch Raufspringen auf den Bauch der Schwangeren, damit das Kind rauskommt) und die Frau dabei verletzt worden ist, kann Bel-p. heilsam sein.
Calen. gut zur Unterstützung bei der Wundheilung (leichte Verbrennung/Schnittwunde und Hautabschürfung). Verletzungen, die durch einen Stoß oder Schlag hervorgerufen worden sind, sprechen gut auf Calendula an, wenn der Verletzte den Schmerz als unverhältnismäßig stark empfindet.
Cham. Wenn das Kind vollkommen ungenießbar ist und alles wonach er gerade verlangt hat, wutentbrannt wegschleudert, sobald Sie es ihm geben und er gleichzeitig unter sehr starken Schmerzen zu leiden scheint (meist Ohrenschmerzen oder Zahnungsbeschwerden), wissen homöopathisch vorgebildete Eltern, dass Chamomilla das homöopathische Mittel der Wahl ist. Kinder, die Chamomilla als homöopathisches Mittel brauchen, sind meist sehr willensstark und verfügen über sehr viel Energie.
Sie verlangen sich selbst einiges ab und versuchen schon früh ihre Empfindsamkeit zu verstecken. Dafür äußert sich diese Empfindlichkeit dann auf der körperlichen Ebene.

Die homöopathischen Korbblütler Arn. Cham. Calen. und Bel-p. werden in der Hömöopathie häufig bei Verletzungen eingesetzt. Gerade wenn der Verletzte unter sehr starken Schmerzen leidet, sich aber nicht gerne helfen lassen möchte und auf Hilfe und Zuwendung gereizt und zornig reagiert, sind die homöopathischen Korbblütler die Mittel der Wahl. Während Arnika hauptsächlich bei Kopfverletzungen und Verletzungen mit Schocksymptomatik angezeigt ist, zieht man Bellis-perennis bei Verletzungen im Bauchrauch und Calendula bei leichteren Verbrennungen und Hautabschürfungen in Betracht. Cham. ist nicht so sehr bei Verletzungen angezeigt. Es kommt vielmehr häufig bei der Behandlung
von Kindern in Betracht, wenn
diese unter Zahnungsbeschwerden oder einer Mittelohrentzündung leiden.

"As a rule it was developed from their pure symptoms, that most of
the earths, alkalis and acids, as well as the neutral salts composed of them, together
with several of the metals, cannot be dispensed with in curing the almost
innumerable symptoms of Psora. The similarity in nature of the leading
antipsoric, sulphur, to phosphorus and other combustible substances from the
vegetable and mineral kingdoms led to the use of the latter, and some animal
substances naturally followed them by analogy, in agreement with experience."

of the mistuned vital force. This is what transcends the apparent
distinctions of the psyche and soma and is what some are now calling "the
vital sensation". In order to do this one must learn how to judge the
characteristic value of symptoms in categories of striking, extraordinary,
unusual and odd symptoms (Org. aphorism 153). The more strange, rare and
peculiar the symptoms - the more it deserves to be under lined in the anamnesis
of the patient.
This is the road to finding a true simillimum.

This is an over simplification. The Compositae family, however, does
have its characteristic causations, signs, befallments and symptoms that make
it unique.

Study the individual remedies in this group in the materia medica and
note their similar and differential symptoms.
This makes it possible to review the 60 remedies of the Compositae
Family in smaller homogenous subcategories that reflect the cardinal remedies heading
the group. In this way the homoeopaths may
use a study of the major remedies to a review of the lesser-known
remedies of the family that one would not normally include. If the case points
to Arnica one may find Echinacea or Lappa actually suits the patient better.
These remedies, however, may not show up in the repertorization due to limited
entries. The following presentation is a group study of the four major
subcategories of the Compositae and their remedies.

On this basis it is easy to get an understanding of the Compositae as a
whole and the four major subgroups within the family. This makes it easier to
digest a large family of remedies in smaller easy to comprehend packages. This
information is based on group repertorisation/comparative materia medica
studies/and case histories. On this solid basis the shared mental/general and
particular symptoms can be collated and the redline characteristics of the
family and its subgroups can be developed. On this basis it is then possible to
develop the differential symptoms that makes each subgroup and remedies unique
in its own sphere. With this objective scientific data in hand it is possible
to utilize the more subjective intuitive aspects of the material in a manner
that balanced yet progressive. I hope that this short study has given a glimpse
into the beneficial aspects of studying remedies in genus groups based on the
signs and symptoms.
*Compositae

Diese spezifische Situation ist eingebettet in die allgemeinen Compositae-Zeichen. Sie lassen sich unschwer mit der Hauptfunktion des Immunsystems in Verbindung bringen: Erhaltung der
Integrität durch Erkennung und notfalls Bekämpfung und Beseitigung von Fremdmaterial. Damit stehen die Compositae auch in enger Verbindung zu den Lanthaniden./die aber eher bei
autoimmunen Prozessen angezeigt sind. Im Übrigen reichern viele Compositae in ihrem Pflanzenkörper Lanthanide an. Die folgenden Themen sind inzwischen oft durch gute Fälle bestätigt
