Gnaph. is one of the greatest medicines not only for the relief of pain but for its cure as well. A far deeper remedy than most homœopathic physicians suspect it to be because it has cured very chronic and obstinate cases of arthritis after the failure of some of our best proven and successful polychrests.

Introduction

They have an inner dignity and refinement that is often not seen and understood, not by their parents, spouse, teachers or managers. That means that they are often bypassed, neglected and walked over. They do not have the power to do anything against it. They try to divert the problems, avoiding the difficulties as they feel too weak to manage the conflict. They also feel too weak to leave the situation and thus keep on enduring the stressful state, hoping for the better. In all this they still maintain their own individuality and go their own way as far as they can without getting into an open conflict.

By hiding themselves it is possible to maintain their own dignity and autonomy. They feel empty, lacking energy and power to address the situation. It is their philosophical understanding and spiritual trust that makes it possible to endure so much.

Case:

Woman, 35, backache.

She started to have a backache and scoliosis in puberty. She was put in a plaster cast which was horrible. She had operations on her hernia with sciatica and later spondylodesis, which she found

very severe and heavy. She had to lie on her back for six weeks and was bound to the bed. She had a hallucination that she was lying in a coffin and everyone walked over her. She was so afraid

that she sat up with all the bindings. The nurses came and fought her back down. It all felt humiliating. She has pains everywhere in muscles and joints, < exertion/at the end of menses.

Her backache was with sciatica, a deep neuralgic pain and numbness ext. toes, < lying on her back, sitting, better from warmth. She could have a high fever of 40°C, feeling very hot. She has bone pains, like needles inside her.

She had other operations: removal of appendix, cyst on the r. ovary, diverticulum; dysplasia of the uterus; benign cyst from l. breast; exostosis from left side of head.

She had a miscarriage and two Caesarian sections.

She had severe migraines in puberty, especially after parties, < chocolate.

She has trouble with bladder and intestines after surgery. She has vomiting, >> sleep, saw everything green and yellow.

She has a vaginal infection twice a year.

Her birth was problematic: born a month early, three pounds, in fleece and unexpectedly as the second of the twins; already then she was walked all over.

Her husband was not very loving and protecting. Once when she was very ill with severe vertigo and could not even walk, he did not care for her or even the children.

She is very sensitive and refined.

She works as a therapist for children.

She is obedient but goes her own way quietly. She avoids conflict and gets what she wants in other ways.

Weather: chilly; likes the sun; aversion winter, foggy wet weather; > hot shower.

Time: < 5 h.

Desire: cheese, farinaceous, fruit.

Aversion: fat/eggs!/brussels sprouts/meat/milk/fish;

Colour preference: 16B, 2AB.

Analysis

Lanthanides: individuality, therapist.

Asteraceae: high fever; bone pains; goes her own way. Stage 5: avoids conflicts; obedient; quietly goes her own way.

Gnaphalium polycephalum: sciatica with numbness; walking bent over.

Follow up

She is been on the remedy for six years.

She is increasingly able to stand up for herself and towards her husband.

She was hit by a ball on the beach and had vertigo again.

After that, she divorced her husband.

Her backaches are also improving, though she thought they never could change.

Ten years later she takes Gnaphalium from time to time and it continues to help her. Homeopathy, orthomolecular support, meditation and Buddhism certainly have helped her.

Gnaphalium helps her a strong to feel strong in herself.

Introduction

They want to keep their dignity and respect which is difficult in the situation they live in. They can feel degraded and belittled by their parents, friends, teachers or authorities. They feel powerless to act on it. Their solution is to become invisible, to hide and go their own way in secret. They feel very precisely that it is incorrect what is done to them, knowing their own value and talent. It is only that they are too weak to resist criticism and beatings.
