Deep action, it brings gradually
about a state of imbecility. The mind gives out. The mind at first becomes
tired, unable to sustain any mental effort. The memory is weak.
The mind will not concentrate, and
then comes imbecility. Inability to stand any mental effort, or to rivet the attention
upon anything are some of the most important symptoms in this medicine.

Tumore und Lähmung
[A. Dewey]
Conium 30th can cure certain “lumps” in the female breast. It
has been my experience repeatedly to see tumors of a suspicious nature in the
mammae disappear by the use
of Conium. Of course, the indications must present as with any other
remedy. It is in the formative stage of
these neoplasms that the remedy will act by checking the development of the
growth.
[Chris Ryan]
Conium is dependent, on a person, a job etc. Also, it
can easily be mistaken for Phosphorus.
Hemlock, the poison chosen by Socrates. The poison
symptoms move upwards (reverse order of cure), Painless, gradual; slow
insidious and it paralyses.
Exhaustion of body and mind, ascending and goes into
glands or nervous system, hardening of glands or slowing down of nervous system
from below up.
Indurations and hardening of the glands, particularly
the sex glands. If it goes to brain imbecility will result, if it stays in the
body paralysis or goes to glands and forms cancer.
Results of over stimulation, from alcohol or drugs,
too much sex, greed.
A passive individual who becomes dependant on a
partner, either emotionally or sexually. The passivity may only be in one
relationship, they may be independent and successful elsewhere in their lives.
Not just in “happily married” couples, where one has died. Symptoms may develop
after termination of an affair, desperation overwhelms
to such a degree that there is a paralysis or
numbness of body and/or mind or hardening often in form of tumours (possibly
malignant).
The image of the swan mating for life and when one
dies the other just fades away gradually. Of course, this is not true for the
swan, it’s a projection, but it does give the idea of the indifference rather
than aversion to company. “I am no longer looking forward to my daughter’s
visits, even though she has a little daughter”.
The person is dependent, so a
brilliant remedy in people who have drug addiction, or in redundancy or
retirement when the job has been the person’s main thrust in life (sexual displacement),
where they may be ambitious but more so they are dependent.
Equally they used to be very good at their job but
are now mentally not so bright. These people have basic material values and
will see loss of sex as a material, rather than emotional, loss. They see sex
as part of life’s enjoyments but they are not people who would indulge in
extra-marital affairs.
However, sex is important and symptoms can arise from
celibacy or excesses. The attachment is to the fabric of the world around him
and once you take away that there is
a reaction. The kind of person who would collapse after
their house burnt down, or the kind of person who would turn to cancer as a way
out.
It is the inner story that needs to be sought. It
isn’t just the closed in, shut down personality; remember how outspoken Socrates
was. In their outer world they may be bold, talk of sex, be flirtatious and
sociable in a PHOSPHORUS kind of way, never really going too deep or too near
“the flame”.
They may express a dissatisfaction in materialism but
in the inner world they hoard and hang onto items or ideas, making them
valuable and their actual sex life can often have been denied for years. The
first thought may be to think of PHOSPHORUS but the conflict with their inner
story going on all the time and gradually eroding makes them appear a bit
irrational – this is CONIUM.
In CONIUM the emphasis is on the gradual weakness or
paralysis. Over many years, they have not noticed the onset. Suddenly their mind
is not what it was, as in premature senility. So a gradual hardening resulting
in cancer of the breast, uterus or prostate problems.
CONIUM is the first remedy to look at for weakness of
the bladder. They may try for ages to urinate then give up and as soon as they
go away, the urge comes back.
They may try so much that they end up sweating.
(Compare Nux-v. where urging results in small amounts of urine and sensitivity
and then they have to return several times).
[Chris Ryan]
Testicular cancer often occurs in young adult males,
and detailed case taking can often bring out a clear picture for Conium. The
cancers often occur around the age where
in Chinese medicine we are coming of age and leading our own life,
letting go of our parent’s expectations.
So let the man tell his story. Other remedies include
CLEMATIS, RHODODENRON, YOHIMBINUM AND SABAL SERRULATA.
Conium will also show up in middle age as the
performance of “maleness” starts to be questioned. Jobs that require too much
sitting and too much thinking, relationships that are ceasing to have a sexual
content or the sexual content is now demanding and threatening.
Do not expect any of these remedies to work fast at
this point in a man’s life as there is a whole raft of changes going on. Stay
with the case, listen and look for the opportunities as they come up. THYMUS
GLAND will also be needed in this process.
If the trigger is loss of a partner, then the gradual
process has already been laid down and the reaction is over a few months or
years. So in breast cancer, look back in the history to establish this is the
best remedy. Differentiate with other remedies PHYTOLACCA, ASTERIAS RUBENS,
BELLIS PERENNIS.
When working with breast cancer there is the obvious
medical urgency in the case but there is a need to attend to other levels of
consciousness in the client:
·
respect
·
nourishment
·
nurturing
·
acceptance
·
sensuality
·
sexuality
Jean Sheehan (www.absoluteempowerment.com) points
out: Most people have heard about the 7 main chakras, but we also have other
minor chakras. There is a nipple chakra which relates to breast cancer and has
the consciousness of:
·
neediness
·
resentment
This neediness and resentment can lead to sudden
sexual interest where in the relationship there had been none, or the partners
sexual interest had gone somewhere else as in an affair or sublimated to a
child (an affair is less likely in CONIUM – more likely to look at STAPHYSAGRIA
or LYCOPODIUM, where the “affair” would be a “one night stand” or “holiday
romance”).
Conium was the poison of choice for Socrates and the
famous anecdote of Socrates: “the state can have my body but not my
mind” since the paralysis is ascending, the mind is the last to go.
This may say more about the sexual attitudes as well.
CONIUM is italic in the RUBRIC ailments from
celibacy but is also equally indicted in the RUBRICS mental
symptoms from excesses and lascivious, lustful and nymphomania
in women.
So the sex can be sudden and intense and promiscuous.
Since hemlock is a poison, “sudden” actions would be expected. The common
gradual understanding of the pace of the symptoms doesn’t show this active and
necessary side. Equally, raising their sexual energies, the energies of the
Generative Chakra will support the healing process. This may mean sexual
activity but equally drawing on the source of this energy will generate self
respect, encourage them to feel attractive to others and will link to the energies
of the higher linked centre, the Brow Centre.
The Brow Centre would itself be calmed by meditation.
Meditation and diet are both key to working with cancer clients. The Generative
Centre is the source of the “desire” body and affects the reproductive glands
but also the adrenal glands.
CONIUM can play a key roll in restoring health in
these situations and the adrenal gland link supports the close relationship
between PHOSPHORUS and CONIUM (PHOSPHORUS having a key focus on the adrenal
glands and kidneys).
In children this gradual paralysis will be more
difficult to perceive but there can be hardening of the brain – callous in the
brain. They have fixed ideas. Once the child has an idea there is no budging.
These fixed ideas mean they can be superstitious, having to do certain rituals
before leaving the room. (So this remedy would be considered in certain autistic
situations where the aetiology fits).
Vertigo when lying down, which is worse turning from
side to side in bed (c.f. BELLADONNA where the head would be hot and the
extremities would be cold) or in LAC HUMANUM where “their world is turned
upside down” (possibly by their partner’s actions) and they have externalised
their anger onto the whole world – the world is unjust not their relationship!
CONIUM is often prescribed in cases where PHOSPHORUS
is the constitutional or fundamental remedy much more frequently than IGNATIA
where grief is the presenting aetiology. It is a good remedy in cancer so with
this connection with grief, even if the remedy was not prescribed before the
mastectomy or hysterectomy, it will often be appropriate subsequently. This may
be because the client is abstaining from sex or is being rejected as a result
of the surgery, as well as the general sense of loss.

[Paul Herscu]
Conium maculatum, or Poison Hemlock,
was in the potion that killed Socrates. Today, homeopathic Conium
maculatum is most commonly thought of in connection with a
leading cause of death in the modern world– cancer. But Conium
maculatum, like every remedy in the materia medica, has more
than one face, more than one potential use, and in fact a full cycle of
complementary and contrasting characteristics, embracing the physical, mental,
and emotional domains. What follows is a brief sketch of that cycle, which
hopefully will clue you into the ideas of cycles and segments and then
illustrate these ideas through the example of one remedy.
I recall treating one woman in her fifties who
suddenly developed mastitis. Her right breast was extremely painful and
inflamed. The soreness was throughout the breast, especially aggravated by
touch or pressure, even from the touch of her bra or clothing. Upon palpation,
I found that the breast had multiple nodules and that the nipple had became
retracted. The nodules filled the whole breast extending into her axillary
glands. It turned out that her horse had kicked her in that breast some months
earlier and that after some weeks it felt better, but now all of the sudden
this inflammation began. Conium maculatum 200C stopped the pains that
day and the nodules and swelling decreased over the next two days; no other
treatment was needed.
This case illustrates the most famous symptom for Conium
maculatum — the hard indurations found throughout the body. While they may
occur anywhere, they tend to occur in glandular tissue. A common etiology is
injury to a particular location and then the hard nodules begin. Now what is
interesting about this case is the questions it raises.
Why did she respond in the manner that she did? Why
did she develop the nodules? Why had she responded to the injury in such a way
and why does Conium maculatum have such a famed keynote? Why does it
produce and cure so many nodules and tumors? The answers to these questions
lead to an understanding of the remedy through cycles and segments, as
mentioned in previous articles in this Journal as well as in the second volume
of the Pediatric Materia Medica, Stramonium.
Tumors / A Rigid Nature
As mentioned, Conium maculatum is indicated in
many forms of tumors, being the most emphasized segment of Conium maculatum,
and the first we will address.
Conium maculatum is famous for
hard, enlarged, indurated growths, often found in glandular tissue. The breast is
commonly affected and it develops hard painful lumps
on either side. The nodules may be benign, and occur
mainly before the menses, or may be cancerous tumors. Likewise, nodules may be
in the lymph nodes that are indurated along with the primary cancer site.
Conium maculatum men may develop
symptoms of prostatic hypertrophy, where the prostate is not just enlarged but
also hard. The testes may be hard or enlarged. Any gland may swell, indurate
and form a tumor, but it is interesting to me that it tends to be some of the
glands most involved in relating to other people sexually–the breast and the
prostate. There are however other sites, non glandular sites, that also become hard
and/or swollen. The eyes form cataracts, the nose forms polyps, the abdomen
becomes swollen and hard. Though less commonly found in practice, people
needing Conium maculatum may describe symptoms as if a mass
were present. These are mentioned here to show the cycle’s segment in fuller
detail. For example, under head pain one finds such descriptions as: ‘feeling
as of a foreign body under the skull’. ‘feeling of a hard lump in the brain’,
‘sensation of a lump in right half of brain’. The throat also provides
excellent examples of this, with: ‘as if a round body were ascending’, or
‘constant inclination to swallow as from a lump in the throat’.
Hardness is exhibited on the mental/emotional level in
symptoms that show rigidity or inflexibility or symptoms of being extremely
closed. Symptoms such as superstitious, or conscientious about trifles in Conium
maculatum are both examples of a kind of fixity of thinking. I recall one
patient who had to have things his own way. I was treating him for frequent
bouts of prostatitis-whenever he would sit on something cold, he would develop
a prostatitis, replete with chills, sweats, and vertigo. During our case taking
and in about five hours of outside discussions, I never was able to impact his
thinking about anything in life. We spoke about politics, religion, society,
the education of children, health, and a number of other things, but to each of
these topics he had his opinion. He did not begrudge me my opinion, but had his
opinions entrenched. He would spout his thoughts, pretty intensely for a while
and then end with, “At least that is how I see it.” I ultimately took it as a
form of rigidity, as there are only a few reasons why someone would have so
many strong opinions and not give in on any of them, (for example haughtiness),
but for him the root cause was inflexibility. They may develop fixed notions
about different aspects of life. For example eating a certain way, or having a
singular religious belief. This inflexible nature is what leads to the famed
examples of becoming a monk or joining a religious order. However, it is
important to realize that the religion is one example, but only an example, of
the rigidity in this remedy.
Another interesting symptom that shows how closed up
they are is found in the emotions, of being sad and not being able to weep.
This symptom is shared with Natrum muriaticum and is found in both of these
remedies for the same reason. Both remedies for their respected reasons, become
so closed, so protective that they are not able to access and express their
emotions. It is a block of these fluids that fills them inside, much as the
breast swells or the prostate swells and hardens. To the extreme of this point,
we may see how it leads to an inability to feel and move. The rubric ‘Want of
sensitiveness,’ captures this state very well and we find Conium maculatum
in italics there.
Paralysis, or extreme lack of movement, is another
example of the shutting down process. For each of the hardnesses above, the
materia medica describes a functional slowing or obstruction. The headache, for
example, not only can feel like a lump, but is ‘stupefying’, dulling the thinking.
The sight is ‘dim’ and ‘myopic,’ even without cataracts, and visual adaptation
is sluggish. The ocular muscles may be partially or completely paralyzed, and
the lids in particular may droop, as is seen in Gelsemium. The hearing
is defective, the speech clumsy (‘articulation imperfect’ due to the stiff
swollen tongue), swallowing impeded, with food going down the wrong way and
stopping. Most characteristic is the gradual ascending paralysis of the
extremities, first lower, then upper. Muscular weakness, trembling,
unsteadiness rising and walking, and a heavy weariness are all found. This
hardening is the ultimate end-result of a closing off and shutting down
process, that began in the preceding phase of the cycle. The kind of hardness
is increasingly devoid of the vital force, which is why this remedy tends
towards cancer.
Full / Congested
In Conium maculatum, the inevitable result of
closing off and holding in, is accumulation; it is a fullness and a heaviness.
Whether you count this as a part of the holding-in phase, part of the tumor and
hardness phase, or an aspect worthy of standing on its own, as I do, the same
symptoms are encompassed. All the places that may get a tumor become heavy. All
the places where there can be congestion we will find it. There is heaviness of
the eyelids, as there is heaviness of the head, abdomen, and of course the
extremities. The fullness of breasts and distention of the abdomen alluded to
in the tumor section, apply equally here, the difference being quantitative not
qualitative.
Another example of the congested, full state, due to
this closed, static state would be palpitations while lying down-the heart
throbbing for its connection, especially upon getting up and moving.
Discontent / Desire for Contact
In the tumor segment he is brooding and feels the aloneness
but mostly he feels too alone, too separate and even though he may have a fear
of others, he strongly desires to be with them. This is the part that really
drives him to be with others. This is the part that is discontent with his
present surroundings, with his situation of how he is ending up, sick and
alone-thus leading him to crave connection. And this is the transition segment
that will drive them out of the shut down tumor segment into the active
segment.
Active
They are too closed and need people. The primal
desire to connect with others, which prompts a flurry of activity, or discharge
of energy, quickly exceeds what is useful or comfortable. Physically, the discharge
is evident in most systems of the remedy. Tears squirt out of the eyes, the
ears ring and hum, the obstructed nose bleeds or produces
a purulent discharge, irritation of the throat at
night, when lying down, which leads to a spasmodic dry cough. There is vomiting
and diarrhea with urging, but probably the most famous keynote that belongs
here has to do with the sex drive. There is an ever increasing desire for
sexual contact. In some, it is described as a need to be with a sexual partner,
but in others it is described as a strong need to discharge, to orgasm. I
recall treating a man who would drive 3 hours every 10 days like clockwork, to
have sex with his girlfriend. He had to. If he did not, if he missed one of
those days, he would develop a prostate infection. This intense need for
contact becomes a primary drive for them as they strongly need the contact and
then the discharge that the contact affords them. I think this is the reason
why Conium maculatum is listed in the rubrics that have the following
idea-aversion to people yet averse to being alone.
One discharge that occurs during or after the
tumor/shut down segment is exemplified in the famed keynote of Conium maculatum
of perspiration and hot flushes, during rest, especially on dropping off to
sleep or even closing the eyes.
On the mental level, this change from too little to
too much activity is nicely expressed in the person who is sad and morose at
some time and very alive and excited and happy at others. The hysteria or mania
may occupy them especially for work. There are many reasons and complaints and
thoughts that drive the patient out of bed or into motion, though high among
them is the impulse to work. It is the archetypical image that we have of
someone who sublimates his or her sexual desire into a flurry of activity.
But like my patient, sex is another prime mover of
this patient. In some of these patients the motion is seen elsewhere, but in
some, sexual impulses and strong desires and images begin to fill him, or her,
and they will become restless until they can have sex and discharge themselves
and connect to another person.
We also see the openness and excess activity making Conium
maculatum very susceptible to injuries. We find injuries which lead to
vertigo, weakness, and indurations, all segments which will follow. And it is
the injury to the emotions, like grief, which lead to the following segment of
weakness, dizziness and a closing off, similar to Cocculus indica.
Vertigo / Giddiness
The symptom that most succinctly captures the
excessive nature of the activity is Cowperthwaite’s ‘giddiness’, but the most
famous is unquestionably the true, rotational vertigo that accompanies
especially motion, as in first lying down at night or first rising in the morning.
There is a considerable range of vertigo-inducing circumstances in Conium
maculatum’s materia medica, but many of them have to do with motion,
showing the effect of all the motion from the preceding segment. Some of these
include moving the head or eyes, and noise, especially conversation of others,
but all reflect the tendency of activity which cause, and then the ensuing
desire to shut down.
The aggravations and ameliorations of Conium
maculatum can be understood as part of a cycle with an aggravation from
seeing moving objects, as when they move too much, as they had in the preceding
segment and a desire to close their eyes which ameliorates the vertigo, the
closing the eyes leads to the next segment. They have become weak and are
unsure of themselves.
Probably, one of the most useful symptoms for us is
the keynote of emissions escaping, or orgasms occurring, from the slightest provocation.
This symptom is sometimes related to the highest priority of having to connect
with others or to discharge their congested full selves, but sometimes it is
from weakness, like Natrum phosphoricum, where the fluid escapes from
the slightest reason without their will. They can no longer be sure of
themselves. Weakness is found not only on the muscular level, but in many
areas. Mentally, symptoms of depression, sadness, or melancholy, ‘timidity’,
weak memory, and indifference are found in abundance and most especially after
sex or after a discharge. Appetite is lost and sexual power is decreased,
despite interest. General aggravation from exertion, raising the arms,
standing, sexual excess, old age, night may all be counted as examples of this
weakness.
It is interesting to note that Conium maculatum
is listed in almost every subrubric of the rubric Generalities Motion, both as
amelioration/desire for motion and as aggravation/aversion to motion. We can
see earlier where the desire/amelioration to move comes from. It is here that
we find why there are so many symptoms that are aggravated by motion. Likewise
it is here where we find all the aggravations from study, and aggravation from
mental exertion
Desire to close off
The way that Conium maculatum deals with the
vertigo/giddiness is to begin to control themselves, to shut down in a way that
will eventually lead to the inflexible rigid
tumor first described. Being so closed is an
overreaction– an essential need to shut down to benefit their overall health.
The being too shut down is an overreaction or an overproduction of the symptoms
that were needed in the first place. On the physical level, this desire
for the body to close off may be seen in a variety of constrictions,
such as: ‘tightness as if both temples were
compressed’, ‘tenesmus’, ‘globus’, ‘dysmenorrhea’, ‘griping’, ‘constriction of
the hypochondria as from a band’, and ‘constriction
of chest’, to name a few.
On the emotional level, examples of closing down in
this self-defensive fashion include the aversion to company, ‘averse to being
near people, or hearing them talk’.
They also have a fear of robbers, I think, again, for
exactly the same reason as Natrum muriaticum, avoiding company and
fearing robbers – aversion to their protective enclosures being violated.
On the mental level, they become averse to using
their mind, they do not want to work or study. They may not want to do much,
just moping around the house.
Again, Conium maculatum, like every other
remedy, has symptoms that seem to contradict themselves. For example in Conium
maculatum we find that not only do they want to be alone and are averse to
people, but that they may fear being alone as well. In the past we would have
to pay attention to one of the symptoms and not the other, or try to explain
this seeming contradiction in one way or another, but never very
satisfactorily. Now we can see that the aversion to company must belong to this
phase of the cycle and that Conium maculatum must have another phase,
described in Vertigo/Giddiness, that gives the desire for people. Here is a
good example of how analysis of remedies by cycles and segments permits
understanding of apparently conflicting or contradictory rubrics within one
remedy.
This segment leads us back to the first segment, that
of being rigidly tight and compressed-the segment of tumors. The single
best-known expression of the adverse effects of holding in must be the famous
keynote: ‘aggravation from continence’. Conium maculatum is classically
thought of first when cancer follows either the loss of one’s sexual partner
through death, or the institution of strict celibacy for religious reasons,
i.e. entering a nunnery. Viewing the relationship of the desire to hold in to
tumor formation in the Conium maculatum cycle, one following directly
from the other, it is wonderfully clear how these two events are related in
life.
So, in Conium maculatum, there is a basic
desire, a strategic need, to holding on tight, holding in, and closing off.
While this may be on the one hand a reasonable and understandable human
response, it is unfortunately the beginning of exactly the “too-closed” state
where we came in, at the beginning of this discussion’s examination of the
cycle. If the activity had been just enough, rather than too much, then Conium
maculatum would not need to hold on so tightly. Or, on the other hand, if the
holding on were just enough, rather than too much, he or she would not feel so
closed in, and in need of actively reconnecting. But when the system does just
enough, and neither too little nor too much, we do not have a chronic disease
state, and do not need a remedy!
To summarize, Conium maculatum has the primary
desire to be open and connected to others, but is unable to effectively
maintain this. Motion in the direction of openness tends to result in excess,
characterized by vertigo and sweating, to which the person reacts by closing
off, but closing off too much so that they become paralyzed or develop rigid
patterns of being, mentally, emotionally or physically. This rigid aloneness is
intolerable and drives them to desire to be with others and the cycle renews.

Cannot endure even the slightest
alcoholic drink. Any wine or stimulating beverage will bring on trembling,
excitement, weakness of mind and prostration. Symptoms will
be found in persons who have suffered
from grief; they become broken in memory. This is likely to come first. They
never can recall things just as they want them.
And so they grow weaker and weaker
until they become imbeciles.
