Lac Ovinum
people are shy by nature. They may find the hustle and bustle of life easily
overwhelming (Theme: Task too big for lil’ol me). They may prefer solitude to
the noise and attention they may find in groups
(Theme:
Withdrawn). Although being a part of the group is very important, (Theme:
Rejected) they do not like being the center of attention and this makes them
very uncomfortable.
The Sheep
are perennial nurturers (Theme: Good Samaritan). They remain calm in all
situations and love to take care of other people (Theme: Remaining calm) They
are very much like their animal counterpart:
gentle,
easy going, content and peaceful.
For sheep,
their two areas of sensitivity are to feeling inadequate and to being rejected
by the group. They are very task-oriented, meaning that life is about doing
what is expected of you. There is a sense that they will not
be able to
live up to expectations and that they will let people down as they try to
perform their job. Inside is the feeling that they are inadequate and they will
try their hardest to hide this. They work very hard and are often overwhelmed
(Theme: Hurried). They may be kind at heart, but they are not always mentally
sharp (Theme: Low energy). They often feel that things are hopeless and they
are trying to do too much in too little
time. This
brings out their pessimistic side, that tends to give up in situations that
feel too big for them. In the end, they feel overworked and may find themselves
exhausted (Theme: Low Energy) as their capabilities fall
short of
the mark.
In a flock
of grazing sheep there is little or no sign of dominance. In small domestic
flocks, sheep will compete for small amounts of food by pushing and shoving
rather than active bunting. For the sensitive sheep they expect equality within
the group and they will get irritated if they are left to do more than others
(Theme: Equality). However, they fear being kicked out of the group and will
tolerate being uncomfortable
(Theme:
Gentle, no complains) in order to offend anyone.
Like other
remedies made from milks, Lac Ovinum has a feeling of being forsaken (Theme:
Forsaken) and the conflict between two wills, one their “bad” instinctual
animals side and the other their “good” human side
(Theme: Two
wills). They also have feelings of self-disgust (Theme: Disgust).
Physical
Summary
There would
be several confirmations on a physical level to prescribe Lac-o. The first
would be headaches. It would be surprising to see a Lac Ovinum case without
some sort of headaches. Characteristically, the
headaches
are behind the eyes, in the temples, and sometimes around the back of the head.
The second would be chills and running very cold, with cold hands and feet and occasional
flushes of heat. Due to this, they tend to
dislike
cold and it may aggravate conditions.
It would
also be difficult to prescribe Lac-o. without hunger. They will tend to think
about food alot, be hungry often, and have difficulty getting full. They also
have many digestion symptoms, rumbling in abdomen,
gas,
eructations, and nausea. They may have constipation # diarrhea. They will also
be very thirsty. Dryness in general is a problem, in mouth on skin etc. This
may cause itching.
They can
also have congestion and runny discharge from the nose and post-nasal drip with
desire to hawk to get the mucus out of the throat. They can have aches and
pains in their extremities, most the legs. They seem to have tightness or
soreness across their upper back (shoulder blades). They often desire to
stretch to relive this tightness or stiffness. Lac-o. also has a strange tingly
sensation at times (almost a chill, coolness, or numbness),
on top of
head or in extremities.
They can
also get very exhausted. They can experience weakness in general, low energy,
and desire naps. They seem to be ameliorated when they get outside in fresh air
or just start moving.

Milk of a
Rambouillets-Hampshire ewe milked one week after lambing; collected by Beth
Knudtsen-Spears (alumna) from a farm in East Central Minnesota; the farm is
home to a herd of about thirty sheep.
Word sheep
derived from Old English; sceap, scep, these words are of unknown origin; the
more usual word for the animal is ewe, as a type of timidity, from Old English;
the meaning "stupid, timid person".
Sheep
breeding seasonal. Females in heat for just over 24 hours; become fertile in
early fall and remain fertile through midwinter; males are fertile year round;
both become sexually mature at one year.
Gestation
averages about 148 days and most lambs are born in mid spring. Our milk came
from a blended breed of Rambouillet (smooth-bodied, horned or hornless) and
Hampshire (large, hornless, dark faces and legs)
sheep.
“Rambouillet
sheep, [are a] fine-wool breed developed in
to large in
size, Rambouillets are the largest and strongest of the fine-wool sheep; the
rams are horned, the ewes hornless. Besides being valued for their high-quality
wool, Rambouillets are also good meat animals.
The ewes
are bred extensively on the range to coarser-wooled rams.
The bovids
are the largest and most successful tribe which include cattle, sheep, goats,
and antelope.
“Artiodactyls
were once the dominant herbivores (plant-eating mammals) of almost every
continent. They are an important link in the chain by which the sun’s energy,
having been used by green plants, is made available
to other
forms of life. They tend to be medium- or large-sized animal. The success of
artiodactyls has depended on skeletal adaptations for running and on the
development of digestive mechanisms capable of dealing
with plant
foods; none is adapted to flying, burrowing, or swimming. The individual
species tend to be fairly narrowly adapted, in comparison with other mammals,
but many of them nonetheless have broad distributions.
Provide
food in the form of meat and milk as well as clothing in the form of hides and
wool, and in parts of the world camels and cows are still used for
transportation. The evolutionary success of the artiodactyls may be
attributed
to certain adaptations of skeletal structures for swift flight and to the
ability of members of the order to swallow food quickly and, in many cases,
regurgitate it and chew it later."
Sheep are extremely
skittish; they become stressed at the slightest provocation. Inclination to
escape from anything perceived to be dangerous/flee unless they are cornered,
and then the sheep will charge or threaten;
an
aggressive posture in sheep includes hoof stamping and charging. Newborn lambs
demonstrate this behaviour as they are finding their place in the flock.
In a flock
of grazing sheep there is little or no sign of dominance. In small domestic
flocks, sheep will compete for small amounts of food by pushing and shoving
rather than active bunting.
Sheep form
strong social groups that are stable and the social organization of the flock
influences grazing patterns. Animals are not randomly dispersed in any
environment and free-ranging groups may exhibit extreme
non-randomness
in the use of resources, particularly vegetation. Young lambs form strong
social bonds with each other or other objects (goats/humans/dogs/cattle).
Sometimes a strong bond forms between two animals
and they become
mutually dependent. Sub-groupings form within a flock, common with larger
flocks, and these smaller grouping become tight-knit and stay together. These
small groups will graze closely together
regardless
of whether the food is better or worse in that area. This can lead to under-nourishment in
sub-groupings within a sheep herd. These
sub-groupings will always maintain a certain separateness within the herd.
Sheep are
very loyal to their social group, they have very specific home ranges (a geographic
area where they normally live). After
joining a social group, sheep are never known to leave it.
There is a
complicated system of rank and an inclination to follow a leader. Older ewes
generally dominate younger members of the herd. Despite this ranking and
domination in the herd, sheep are very dependent on one
another;
they become stressed when separated from their flock members. The shepherd’s
role is very demanding and requires great skill in tending to the needs of the
entire flock; especially in protecting the flock from
predators.
The
predators of sheep include, but are not limited to foxes (Aplex, Urocyon, and
Vulpes); coyote (Canis latrans); wolves (Canis lupus), dogs (Canis lupus
familiaris), bobcats (Felis rufus); cougars (Puma concolor);
black bears
(Ursus americanus), brown bears (Ursus arctos) and grizzly bears (Ursus arctos
horribilis). In the
been the
second leading cause of death.
Sheep have
well-developed senses. Their long noses are filled with olfactory nerves to
help them detect predators. Large ears can rotate to detect sounds from all
directions. Big eyes, set on the sides of their heads let them
see in many
directions at the same time. One adaptation of living in a social group is
safety from predators. With so many eyes watching for a sign of danger, a
predator can be spotted sooner so the whole group can flee.
Sheep are
herbivores and grazing animals, they love to EAT! Sheep feed primarily on grasses and sedges.
In the winter they actually eat frozen grass, stems, lichen, and moss. Sheep
will often travel to mineral licks to eat
soil. These
are typically rocky outcrops where high concentrations of minerals are pooled.
This replenishes essential minerals that the sheep cannot get from their daily
diet of plants.
Since they
eat a variety of plants, sheep have developed special adaptations for their
eating habits. They have lost their canine teeth but have developed large, flat
cheek teeth with raised ridges. When chewing, the teeth
move
side-to-side and front-to-back in a triangular motion to grind food. Strong
lips and tongue are designed to grab and tear foliage and other vegetation.
Special stomach chambers allow ungulates to digest plant
material.
Ruminants, such as Dall sheep, have a complex stomach made up of four chambers.
One chamber has bacteria that ferments the food and breaks down the plant
material for absorption. After the food is fermented,
the sheep
regurgitates it and chews the food again. This second chewing is called
rumination. After the second chewing, the food goes through the other three
chambers and then to the intestines. It may take four days to
digest a
meal completely!
“Sheep are
unique among food and farm animals in the way they utilize copper. Copper is
required for all farm animals. Sheep are the most susceptible of all
food-producing animals to copper toxicose. Copper nutrition
in sheep is
quite complicated. It is a required mineral for sheep, yet highly toxic.
Presence or absence in the diet of sheep of other minerals and some ionophores
affects the copper metabolism of sheep. Especially the level
of
molybdenum and sulfur in the diet. Molybdenum and sulfur act as antagonists to
copper. The presence of these compounds bind with copper and prevent gut
absorption and increase excretion of absorbed copper in the
liver and
body tissues. Molybdenum is often added to sheep diets to try to help prevent
copper toxicity. However, molybdenum added at too high of levels can actually
result in sheep having a copper deficiency….
Copper
toxicity:
Acute: occurs quickly, shortly after ingestion
of high amounts of copper.
Chronic: in sheep fed diets over a period of
time that are marginally higher in copper content relative to level of copper
antagonists in the diet. This could be over a period of weeks or months,
depending on actual
copper intake by the sheep. What happens is
that sheep bind absorbed copper very tightly in the liver. Copper buildup in
the liver occurs because sheep do not excrete copper from the body as
efficiently as other
animal species. When the liver becomes
saturated with copper, tissue damage occurs in the liver and large amounts of
copper are released into the bloodstream. This causes the death of red blood
cells and subsequent
tissue damage. Often, the first very noticeable
sign of copper toxicity is dead sheep. This many times may follow some
stressful event for the sheep. Prevention of copper toxicity is the most practical
method of
dealing with this problem“.
Thought to
be descended from Mouflon, which are a species of wild sheep and one of the
Caprinae or goat antelopes. Sheep were among the first animals to be
domesticated by mankind between 9 - 11.000 years ago in
Sheep
enabled human civilization to leave the cradle of civilization and venture into
new lands and cooler climates.
Initially,
humans relied on sheep for their meat and their milk and skins. It is thought
that early sheep had hair, like goats; not wool. As people began to breed sheep
they choose to make them hardier and breed them with
longer and
longer hair, gradually sheep developed wool. Humans began spinning wool in the
Early to Middle Bronze age, around 3000 BC; enabling people to weave sheep’s
wool it into cloth. Sheep are raised for both meat
(lamb or
mutton) and wool. However, the wool industries have seen significant declines
since the 1970s, declining production and there are fewer and fewer sheep
operations. Lamb and mutton are now seen as products in themselves rather than
byproducts of the wool industry. This is a reverse trend from their original
relationship with humanity.
Sheep’s
milk is highly nutritious; it has a rich, bland, slightly-sweet taste. It
contains minerals like calcium, phosphorus and zinc and many important vitamins;
it is loaded with the enzymes that enable the metabolizing of
calcium and
it is much higher in total solids than either cow’s milk or goat’s milk. The
proteins in humans, sheep, and goats, are very short, which is why babies and
the elderly, people with asthma, eczema and other
psoric skin
conditions will often thrive on sheep's milk.
Sheep's was
a staple of the Ancient Romans, who descended from shepherds, mixed with wine
it was served as a drink and made into cheese that was mixed with herbs, honey,
nuts, and fruits.
Sheep were
sacrificed in Ancient Greece and
possess the
souls of their ancestors.
In Judaism,
sheep were part of Korban; and are featured during Passover and the ceremonial
blowing of a shofar. In Christianity, Christ is known as the Lamb of God,
sacrificed to free humanity from its suffering
(Agnus
Dei). The term pastor means shepherd, and refers to the leader of the flock of
Christ, priests, bishops in the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican
traditions, and ministers in the Protestant traditions.
George
Frederic Handel in ‘Messiah’, composed the following: “All we like sheep have
gone astray, All we, like sheep, have gone astray; we have turned every one to
his own way; And the Lord hath laid on him the
iniquity of
us all“.
Sheep are
featured prominently in Ancient Greek mythology in Aphrodite’s relationship
with Psyche and Eros and in the legend of Jason and the Golden Fleece.
Aphrodite or Venus is associated with copper in astrological correlations; and
Aries, the Ram, is the first sign of the Western Tropical Zodiac which has been
associated with the return of spring and new beginnings in life.
The follow
are common clichés that come from humanity’s long relationship with sheep: Big
wig; Black sheep; Catgut (kitgut); Counting sheep; Dyed in the Wool; Earmarked;
Fleeced; Gentle as a lamb;
Pop goes
the Wesel; Pulling the wool over someone eyes; Ram; Score; Sheepish; Sheepskin;
Shoddy; Spinster; Two shakes of a lamb's tail; Wolf in sheep's clothing
(Matthew 7:15); and Woolgathering.
Chinese
Year of the Sheep
Sheep
people are shy by nature and they never have ulterior motives for doing things.
Other people’s problems take an emotional toll on them because they are
inherently compassionate. For the sensitive Sheep, it is extremely hurtful when
someone takes advantage of them. If you are a friend or relative of the
reserved and quiet Sheep — tread lightly.
The Sheep
are perennial nurturers. They remain calm in all situations and love to take
care of other people. They are very much like their animal counterpart: gentle,
easy going, content and peaceful. They like being part of a
group as
opposed to being the center of attention.
The Sheep Child: Chinese Zodiac
The gentle
Sheep child will be a treasure to his parents. He will love being cuddled,
fussed over, petted and thoroughly spoiled. A sensitive artist and lover of
beauty, he will appreciate music, poetry, sweet-smelling soap for
his bath
and all sorts of delicate trimmings that stimulate his fine senses.
Ultra-dependent, he won't like to do anything for himself--if he can help it.
Warm, soft, vulnerable and submissive, he likes being catered to.
Like little
Linus in the Peanuts comic strip, he is most likely to cling to his old woollen
blanket or, in case of a girl, her worn-out rag doll. He hates being teased and
if strongly criticized or embarrassed in school he may not
want to
return for many days. He will seek out more dominant youngsters to take him
under their wings. When he is feeling down, he will need loads and loads of
sympathy to pep him up. His fertile imagination and morbid
fears can
actually make him ill. He can be easily influenced or adversely affected and
will positively drown you with his sorrows when he is in a melancholy mood.
When
ridiculed or rejected, he can withdraw into a magical world of his own and it
will be difficult to lure him out. Food and comfort represent love and security
to him. The Sheep will be in no hurry to leave home if he is
loved and
well cared for. When he does decide to set up housekeeping on his own, you can
be sure he will do it with exquisite taste. He loves getting dressed up and has
a flair for arranging things. Fickle-minded, inconsistent
and trivial
at times, he makes up for it by being extremely creative, modest and patient.
He is very compassionate about the sorrows of others; when he is fond of
someone, his love and generosity know no bounds. It will be rewarding to care
for him as he will repay your affections a hundred-fold. It will be impossible
to be cross with him for long. He may have his flaws, but he is still a jewel
of the highest quality.
Don't be
afraid of leading him by the hand or helping him make decisions. He will never
get enough reassurance and, as a matter of fact, he may seek his parents'
advice or approval on everything he does.
Don't try
to wipe the fairy dust off his eyes; or change him, mend him or rearrange him
into sterner stuff. It will be useless, as the Sheep will always see life and
the world through rose-colored glasses.
Specific
Mental Themes
Equality, Irritable about Unfairness, on
Principle
“I hate it
when people act that way and there is someone in class that really feels she
deserves special treatment” (dream) “He wanted to be with me. I felt angry for
his wife…. I objected on principle“.
Within the
sheep herd there is a certain equality. Unlike in some herd structures, sheep
don’t exhibit a dominance of one sheep versus the others. Within this remedy we
see a sensitivity to things being equal.
When this
remedy gets angry, it’s usually about things being unfair or someone getting
special treatment. Although most often they will just grumble about this to
themselves (Theme: Gentle, Not complain).
They get
upset if they have to do a lot more work than the other people in the group. Of
course, with their “giving nature” and task orientation it’s inevitable that
they take on a greater responsibility than others.
They also
seem to have a sensitivity to principles. They have an inner barometer for
principles and for behaving with respect and kindness to others. They also
believe in following the rules. They feel upset when asked
to behave
against these principles. They may find themselves split at times (Theme: Two
wills) between these principles and what would be considered more “base”
desires like sex and security.
On Principle
Gentle, Not Complain
(dream) “I
did not want to offend the person who had been so kind to set it up, so I did
not change it“.
Lac Ovinum
has a gentle nature. Not wanting to be hurt by others they are equally
sensitive to avoid hurting others. They will avoid expressing their anger or
lack of comfort in order to not upset the other person.
When they
do act, they will be concerned that someone will be angry with them.
Giddy, Playful
“Looking a
little peevish, childish grin”
There is a
playful nature to this remedy. It has a childish quality to it. They might
giggle, tease, make faces and talk in a childish voice when feeling happy. They
also might feel frisky when in this playful mood.
They seem
to experience this happiness in random spurts, not all the time.
Good Samaritan, Desire to help
“Since the
remedy, I want to help people with their problems. I feel chatty, want to talk
and be more intimate and really make a difference in other people’s lives -
help them”
A key theme
for Lac Ovinum is the “Good Samaritan“. They will have a desire to help others.
They will find themselves in dreams and in life having to help people in need.
Some times when they are just able to listen,
the
interchange is good for them. They feel as if they have helped someone just by
being there and caring, as they would want for themselves.
Sometimes
the situation requires a larger effort on their part. Really doubting their own
ability to handle things, they can feel overwhelmed when people need help in
more serious situations. Given their non-complaining
nature
(Theme: Gentle, Not complain) they will often trot off whenever someone calls
for help, even stopping something they perceive as important to get done. A key
indication of Lac Ovinum would be a dream where
people are
getting hurt and they have to help them and they feel anger or irritation that
it is all up to them.
Hurried, Not enough time, Impatient
“I have all
this stuff to do at home – no time to do it. Too much stuff. Feel hurried,
unsettled”. “In evening, irritable when driving. More impatience with people,
with my dog, especially when
they “get
in my way“. Lac-o. seem to have a time pressure. They are task oriented,
meaning that they like to accomplish things, not big monumental things just
simple tasks that need to be done. The pressure most likely
relates to
their feelings of inadequacy (Theme: Too big for little ol’me). In that
whatever they need to do, can make them feel overwhelmed. They have this need
to accomplish so they hurry to get things done off this huge
list of
things they have to do. The general feeling is – “I have so much to do and not
enough time to doing it in” In dreams, they often find obstacles to
accomplishing things and feel under time pressure to complete the task.
This sense
of hurry is in opposite to the laid-back (Theme: Remain calm) nature of this
remedy. They can find themselves relatively calm in a situation that should be
pressurized and on the other hand frantically hurrying.
When they
do accomplish, they feel very good. What does get them irritated is to impede
their progress when they are in a hurry. They really dislike to have people or
things “get in their way“. They won’t necessarily
express
this annoyance (Theme: Gentle, not complain) but they definitely feel it. They
can also exhibit a general impatience when they are stressed.
Irritable and Impatient, Don’t get in my way!
Low energy, Moving slower, Exhaustion
“I felt a
sense of dulled unreality. Like my thoughts and perceptions were filtered
through cotton. My thoughts have slowed to a slow one at a time”
“Everything
is too much work” “Exhaustion returned… A collapsed feeling“.
Lac Ovinum
has severe exhaustion. Acutes seem to hit with exhaustion and no desire to move
or do anything. They may wake still tired and not rested. They may get tired in
afternoon and find themselves napping.
They may go
to bed early or oversleep. They also just seem to have bouts of low energy or
lack of motivation. They just may be happy to sit on couch and vegetate. They
may just feel lazy and desire to lie around all day.
There is
almost a sense of slowing down in these episodes. As if their thoughts “are
filtered through cotton“. Their actions may slow; their thoughts may slow. This
relates to that laid-back feeling,
when they
are just happy being and not doing.
Not motivated, Lazy
Exhausted, Low Energy
Remaining Calm and Relaxed
“After
walk, felt more relaxed driving than usual, not at all impatient; very calm,
passive”
The life of
a sheep is pretty calm. Even among the herd, behavior is seldom aggressive.
It’s not surprising then that several provers experience a calm and relaxed
state at times when they might have normally been stressed.
This seems
the exact opposite of the hurried theme (Theme: Hurried) when they are frantic
having too much to do in too little time. In this relaxed state, they are
actually moving slower than normal and remaining calm.
Task too big for lil’ol me, Feeling Inadequate
“I can’t
get it all done, hopeless“.
Lac Ovinum feels
inadequate. They are very task oriented, this means that their inadequacy
revolves around doing their job. They have dreams of unsuccessful efforts. They
can easily feel overwhelmed, that things are too
big for
them. They can feel that any effort is futile and hopeless and that they will
never be successful. They worry about letting people down. They worry about
“making the grade” and being part of the group. They might
feel they
have to keep working and working in order to be okay.
They feel
they try very hard but never succeed. There can be a hopelessness that they
reach at a point, where they just want to give up, and “lie down in the snow
and never get up“.
At times
they are actually surprised that things go well and are easier than they
expected.
Feeling Inadequate, The task is too big
Hopeless, Just give up
Unsafe, Flight, Attack
“The
bunnies jumped up as high as waist, jumping at me and attacking my
leg...Feeling: felt scared, like it was a vicious rabbit“.
Yea, for
thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the
slaughter. -Bible (Old Testament), Psalms 44:22.
Sheep has
no natural defenses against predators, they are “Sheep for the slaughter”. They
have only minimal safety through being part of the herd. Domestic, they rely on
the shepherd/man to protect them.
They can
get anxious when having to face a conflict and prefer to avoid conflicts if at
all possible. They feel entirely at a disadvantage in situations of personal
safety. Their first instinct is to run. In dreams they may find themselves
running away from harm.
Withdrawn, Not center of attention, and
Avoidance (Sycotic)
“Felt like
mom was being too nosey. Wanted my own space and place“.
Lac-o. has
a shyness. While they may want to be part of the group, they do not want to be
the center of attention. They will balk and get irritated if they get too much
attention. While there is safety in number, there is
no privacy.
They have dreams of being in dormitories and in crowds where there are lots of
people around. They just get tired of talking to people and don’t want people
to talk to them.
Sometimes
it just all get too much for them and they want to go off by themselves. They
can really withdraw from other people. This could be a state of extreme
shyness. Here the sycotic aspect of this remedy accentuates
the
situation. Not wanting others to know about their inadequacy, they may withdraw
even more to hide these flaws. They can avoid situations and fear the
embarrassment of doing something wrong in front of others.
All of
these feelings along with the natural shyness can create a very withdrawn
person. I want to be alone, Withdrawn
Not the center of attention
Living in crowds
Common Milk
Themes
Lac-o.:
feelings of disgust. Dreams of faeces and poop, dreams of bugs or dreams of
repulsive and disgusting people.
Their response to this filth is to be disgusted
and to want to stay away. Like other Sycotic remedies Lac-o. will want to have
things clean and neat to hide this inner feeling of selfdisgust.
Forsaken,
Alone and Sadness
“Family out of town. Felt a bit abandoned and
alone. No one to take care of me“.
As with remedies from milk’s we see the theme
of being Forsaken. The sadness behind this is deep and can come on with tears and
sobbing. They express the emotions with their grief but not necessarily to
anyone else.
Rejected by
the group
“We grouped together against him and chased him
to the top of the stairs. We forced him out onto a small ledge at the top. We
began to taunt him“.
As with other herd animals, sheep are most
fearful and sensitive to being put out of the group. In their dreams the group
turns on someone and forces him out or behaves rudely to him. The group becomes
almost like a “lynch mob“. It’s as if there is power in numbers and the group
can band together and kick someone out. They fear being verbally rejected in
front of others.
Two Wills
“I knew not to believe this, but I was
flattered anyway. Again, tension between sexual attraction and principles“.
Similar to other mammal remedies, Lac Ovinum
shows an inner conflict between their two sides, the animal instinct side and
the human side. Here the conflict seems to be between sexual attraction and the
sheep’s adherence to principles (Theme: Equality). One side has the desire to
be good and the other is the part of them that feels inherently bad.
