Symptoms of Leguminosae include:
The feeling of not having enough (food/money).
Something is missing. issue with work - perfectionism and working hard.
Aversion to work and mental work.
Stupor, fatigue, weakness- physical
and mental. Fatigue with sleeplessness. of complaints makes them worse.
Confusion, dullness, memory loss, forgetfulness, dizziness
of being busy, aversion or
aggravation from beans, lentils or peas (leguminosae) from meat, protein. well
since influenza, mononucleosisin wet and cloudy weather. consequences -
paralysis (Lathyrus, Oxytropis, Physos.). Epilepsy (Indigo, Physos) problems-
too much air, fullness, bloatedness, eructations, flatus. (Beans are difficult
to digest and must be cooked to
digest them.) Foul smelling stool (rotten eggs). Diarrhea. Constipation.
Pain: Abdominal, stomach.
[Dr. Scholten]
A strong connection with the
leguminosae family and nitrics, amino acids and proteins. A poisoning with
amino acids results in weakness. Two sides to this family –
1. Very hard working,
perfectionistic, 2. completely exhausted and not being able to do anything. His
differential diagnosis includes Nitrics, Psorinum, Iron series and Manganum.
[Jan Scholten, Rajan Sankaran,
Maarten van der Meer/compiled by D. Collins]
The plant family of the Fabaceae,
formerly known as the Leguminosae (the bean and pea family).
Historically, legumes are known as “poor. man’s meat; a source of protein
when conditions are dire and there is no money for luxury.
The theme of poverty is prevalent; the
fear of not having enough to fill one’s needs, both at physical and emotional
levels. Life is experienced as hard and dry, with no
frills and no pleasure. It is all
hard work and no play;
Fabaceae can feel powerless in their
situation of poverty and lack. They tend to overexert themselves, becoming dry,
humorless, disappointed and critical (a “holy bean”)
in the process.
An overwhelming fatigue is often a
main symptom for the remedies of this family. This fatigue probably has to do
with the inability to digest certain amino acids.
It is known that many of this family
have strange amino acids in them; when they are not digested and metabolised as
proteins they can prevent certain body functions.
It is known in orthomolecular
medicine that carnitine, an amino acid, has beneficial effects on ME (= myalgic
encephalic syndrome). The fatigue is both physical and mental; physically, it
can go as far as real paralysis (M.S./Polio), or the opposite of paralysis,
epilepsy. Mentally, it is seen as dullness and confusion, inability to
concentrate or to think at all. In short, the overall picture is one of
hardship and suffering, doom and gloom.
The corollary to this is seen in the
desire for pleasure, the desire to enjoy life without the burden of
difficulties.
DD.: CONnection to the themes of Nitrogenium
(pleasure-seeking). Fabaceae are known to have a symbiosis with bacteria, which
can convert nitrogen into nitricum at their roots.
[Maarten van der Meer]
In Dutch the Leguminosae are known
as “vlinder-bloemigen” (= butterfly flowers) and the desire to be as
light as a butterfly is reflected here. There is a desire to detach oneself
from earthly cares and concerns, to split off from the humdrum of daily existence.
The word ‘split’ and its many variations: scattered, fragmented, falling apart,
separate, dissociated, etc: reflect this flight from the drudgery of life. One
becomes ‘scatter-brained’, ‘feather-brained’. The split is reflected in the
seeds, which have two halves (Arachis hypogeia = peanut).
Dizziness and vertigo are quite a
strong theme. It is usually described ‘”As if drunk’ and indeed, they probably
are drunk, due to an imbalance in their intestinal flora,
which stimulates the production of
alcohol in the gut.
In common with Nitrogenium, <
around 9 h. and a desire or aversion to fat, bacon, cheese all kinds of
proteins. < beans or peas, strong aversions or desires, can point to
Fabaceae.
DD.: Manganum: theme of being a
teacher can be strong, as in Manganum, another remedy for exhaustion. Many
Fabaceae contain a lot of manganum, which is reflected
in the desire to help and to work
together.
DD.: Iron series : to which Manganum
belongs: the theme of perfection. They want to do things very well and this can
lead to even more exhaustion.
Fabaceae remedies can be necessary
when the whole of one’s lifetime has felt like hardship, or they can be helpful
during certain periods when it is all work and no play,
such as times of study during
puberty, when one would much rather be out playing and discovering life rather
than studying for exams and having to achieve.
Several of the Fabaceae have shown
to be useful in relieving chronic fatigue as an aftermath of mononucleosis,
which is prevalent among students. Known as the ‘kissing disease’, it might
have little to do with the joys of kissing but more to do with the lack of
pleasure and joy at that time in life.
Looking at the causative factors in
several of the Fabaceae, we see issues emerging which could have to do with
situations of deprivation and hardship.
Bapt. useful in high septic conditions: blood
poisoning from being in a mine, in the mud, in a sewer, or inhaling foul gas.
Having to live or work under such harsh conditions could be a Fabaceae
indication.
Refugee camps, concentration camps,
slave ships, hiding from an enemy while having a lack of food, could contribute
to feelings of hopelessness and despair and become soil for the seeds of
Fabaceae to grow in.
Meli. has many rubrics which can be interpreted as
having to hide in silence from an enemy, as in Anne Frank’s situation.
Alf. can be used to correct malnutrition, helping
the patient to regain weight when the body has been unable to metabolise food.
With further research, we will be able to find precise indications for each of
these remedies.
Jan Scholten has classified some of
the Fabaceae into stages, as in the periodic table of elements.

[Rajan Sankaran]
Theme of the Fabaceae = the idea of
separation, of feeling split, fragmented and scattered, as we know it from the
delusion of Baptisia: “Thinks he is broken or double.
Parts feel separated, or scattered.
Tosses about in bed, trying to get the parts together.” In his book, “An
Insight into Plants, volume 1”, several cases are given of patients
who, due to disastrous life
circumstances, had fragmented into pieces and became whole again under the
influence of Baptisia (multiple personality). The opposite sensation
of separation is “bound together”
and Leguminosae patients might complain of feelings of tightness or
constriction. Sankaran proposes the following classification for the
Leguminosae, in terms of the various miasms:
Acute. miasm: Melilotus (suddenly split
up, acute threat from being split up)
Typhoid. miasm: Baptisia (desperately trying
to pull all my pieces together, if I can pull them together I am fine)
Malaria. miasm: Robinia (intermittend
threats of splitting apart)
Ringworm. miasm: Chrysarobinum (tries to keep
together)
Sycotic. miasm: Copaiva (avoids the split)
Tubercular. miasm: Bal-p. (a race against time
to get things together or else things will be destroyed)
Cancer.miasm: Physostigma (stretching
beyond one’s capacity to hold things together)
Leprous. miasm: Caesalpinia (condemned
because he is split up)
Syphilis. miasm: Lathyrus (destroyed because
of splitting up)
