As a general quality, Orchid remedies are also important for patients who are in situations and relationships that involve sexual or physical abuse and violence.

And in a more moderate society, this leads to many Orchid patients being in jobs that exist in the midst of conflict or even violent confrontation and threats, incl. lawyers

or law clerks, social workers or counselors. Their approach is friendlier and more enthusiastic than is the norm, offering calm, cheer, and solace, yet at the same time they remain somewhat detached from the situation. In a comparable manner, this theme may appear as the Orchid patient being the partner of someone with a shadowy and difficult, even abusive personality. The Orchid patient compensates, putting on a brave or cheerful face but, like Lac delphinum, can also attempt to hide the problems

or abuse of the other person. A further way it may manifest is someone who marries into a family, where the previous spouse of their new partner has just died and they

are the outsider who, through their elegant and joyful demeanor, helps heal the family s grief. Another way of expressing the preceding theme is adaptability within conflict. Many stories about orchids, and especially narratives about the search for these exotic plants, involve this theme. Orchids are widespread throughout the world, primarily

in warmer climates, but species do exist even in very cold climates. The Orchid patient is adaptable and makes any conflict around them much more livable. Such adaptation can also be an internal process. The patient needing an Orchid remedy can adapt to serious limitations and challenges in their health including such challenges as multiple sclerosis, neurological problems, paralysis, and weakness. They may keep a joyful countenance in the face of any great physical or emotional challenge. And as mentioned

in the beginning of this section, they may disengage and focus on more superficial, self-gratifying elements in their reality. Since they grow on dead matter, the issue of

death and dying is important in Fungal remedies. Dreams of death and the impression of death are also prominent in many of the Orchid provings and clinical cases.

I have also seen this theme manifested in a number of Orchid cases where a patient cannot conceive and has multiple miscarriages. These are also remedies for individuals

who may have suffered the death of parents or other caregiver at a young age. As well as heightened awareness, anxiety, or fear of death, it may also be contemplated calmly or joyfully.

[Louis Klein]

Orchids have anger about specific issues, which are usually related to some particular internal sensitivity or weakness for which they need to compensate.

They can be acutely aware of criticism, betrayal, and rejection, and those who are gossiping about them. They often need space to deal with their emotional wounds in

the attempt to transform these wounds or the emotional wounds of others. They are sensitive to, and may become paralyzed by baser emotions, resulting in feeling shame.

To avoid this, they may partake in these baser expressions or become deceptive themselves. In some of the provings and patients I have seen, there is clairvoyance and

clairaudience showing how strong the exquisite sensitivity can get. They can pick up, and be quite sensitive to the psychic forces around them. The Outsider and Issues

of Support Although some Orchid patients may be quite gregarious (= gesellig), the opposite polarity of extreme and exquisite sensitivity towards the physical or emotional

environment can lead to them cutting off from their surroundings. They can become isolated and disconnected as outsiders and eventually there can be a complete

compensatory disengagement as we see in Asperger s syndromes and autism. Patients with deep pathology of this type need a lot of care and attention. In less extreme cases,

there is less severe but still debilitating ADD, ADHD, and other types of neurobehavioral disorders that affect communication, with a tendency to withdraw.

They may feel alone, like a castaway, and experience either resentment or resignation as a result. They can have difficulty connecting to purpose or meaning in life or work,

preferring to freeload and make demands on others. In some cases, as indicated in the description of Phalaenopsis gigantea, withdrawal is combined with resentful frustration

at communication difficulties. They may derive strength from other people and need social assistance (esp. in the epiphytic and lithophytic Orchid types), sometimes to the

extent that a whole family is on chronic welfare. Even though they may be lovingly embraced by a group of people or a new family or relationship, they may have underlying

feelings that they will be rejected or that they are the outsider in the group. On the other hand, they may be in a situation where they care for a relative requiring continuous,

substantial financial and emotional support. The needy individual may be someone who is physically, mentally, or emotionally challenged (someone treated as an outcast).

This could be a child with autism or Down syndrome or a sibling or parent who is drug addicted or in some way disabled.

In spite of Orchids being the largest plant family in the world, only 4 orchids were partially described and indicated in the classical homeopathic literature.

•Corallorrhiza odontorhiza–Allen has a very brief description

•Cypripedium pubescens–introduced by Hale

•Spiranthes autumnalis–more information on this orchid, various classical materia medicas

•Vanilla Aromatica–Boericke describes the effect of smelling the extract

•With this modern introduction of more homeopathically prepared Orchids, they have become important remedies for homeopaths treating individuals with

various problems.

Discovery of Orchids Usefulness in Autism and Neuro-behavioral Disorders by Louis Klein FSHom

Cypripedium:

•Case of a 4 year old child •In 2003 Cypripedium pubescens, described in the classical literature, was successfully given for a 4 year old child with autism.

Prior to age 2 she was progressing very well but then

•The child’s condition started after frequent episodes of waking at night wanting to play and being joyful with active laughing

•After a period of months the child’s speech stopped developing and she began to stim, be out of touch with those around her and stopped developing mentally/emotionally

•She came into the interview and stood off by herself, she would at times squeal and have a blissful expression while shaking her hands She is very sensitive to certain foods like milk and wheat

•She hit her chin with a strong bruise a few weeks prior.•After Cyprepidium200c a number of doses over a period of times she started to progress to the point where

she would have a conversation

•Clarke Materia Medica:

“It is indicated in the brain-hyperesthesia of children who wake in the night lively and full of play.”

•Choudhuri: “Little babies are often seen to wake up in the middle of the night and laugh and gambol in the bright light; if this continues night after night, the parents should take warning, as often such functional irritability and cerebral hyperaesthesia end in convulsions...

In respect of sleeplessness it compares well with Coffee and Scutellaria.”

•Hale: “Profound indifference to everything, even to his studies duties, and the common courtesies of life.”

•anxiety from slight discomfort

•needs everything comfortable and joyful

•Distraught- Severe anxiety from slight stomach upset

•Rhus poisoning

Distinctive Elements of Plants in Orchidaceae-(Orchid Plant Family)

•1.The presence of a gynostemium. (The central reproductive stalk which consists of a stamen and pistil fused together).

•2.The flower is bilaterally symmetric.

•3.The pollen is glued together on filaments.

•4.The seeds of most orchids are microscopic and lacking food reserves (endosperm). The most exceptional is the seeds of the Vanilla orchid.

•5.The seeds under natural circumstances can only germinate in symbiosis with a certain fungi.

Orchid Proving: Vanilla planifolia

Main Mind Theme from the Proving of Vanilla Planifolia:

–Intoxication by sensuality texture, color, bathing, sexuality, luxury,

–Material world and struggle with it-being specific (perfect) about the kind of material things

–gentle, soft, perfectly elegant–Wanting to shop for clothing, shoes and material goods

–Cashmere, new dishrags become beautiful, making home beautiful, design, renovations and a specific weakness or material craving was accentuated; (fetishes for shoes, expensive materials and clothing etc.)

–Bringing elegant order to disorder

–Protecting others

–Cleansing evil

–making things “vanilla”, faceless silhouettes

–Bees and wasps

–Blue and orange colors

–Time goes slowly

–Strong dreams and many more mental/emotional symptoms

Some quotes from the Vanilla Provers:

•“feet planted on the ground”

•“clay feet ”

•“While shopping had to exercise great restraint to keep from buying pottery that was a beautiful teal blue contrasting with the warm orange-redness of the terracotta. I had a very intense feeling of attraction to these colors.”

•A different prover: “I spend my time looking at dishcloths instead of buying the things I need. I examine each of the colors and the different types and marvel at the texture of the weave of the cloth.

Physicals

•Apis-like symptoms (meliponabee pollinates the Vanilla plant)-such as reddish swellings

•Hormonal issues, cramping during menses

•Many symptoms related to flushes of heat -especially in the face

•Also hypotension and faintness

•Headaches with pressing and shooting pains

•Foot, ankle and hand pains and symptoms-sprains, fractures, stitching pains, feet

A Case of a Severe Foot Injury

A Letter from a Prover with a history of a severe foot injury:“ Lou, I want to thank you for the proving that our class did in Toronto over2 years ago. It was Vanilla and I was reluctant to do the proving because I thought my injuries of broken bones and fatigue from a previous car accident would interfere with the data. I chose to do the proving out of curiosity for the experience and a huge desire to participate in a proving. My recollection of the first two days after taking the remedy are indelible.

I got headaches when going into the hot tub and at night my right foot which had 5 pins to hold the calcaneum together (from the accident) hurt like hell.

My foot hurt so much the first 2 nights. I experienced shooting pain, spasms and sharp, boring pain where the drill had made the hole in my ankle.

I was accustomed to pain at night especially if the weather changed. In some ways, my foot pain was my weather barometer and I could predict rain and snow with precision. When the docs at the hospital, in Toronto, look at my X-rays of my right ankle, I can hear an audible whistle from their reactions. They become a little more kinder because they are expecting me to be begging for pain killers and anything to address the damage seen on the films. It’s been 3 years now since the Vanilla proving and I have not had another single episode of pain since the proving. The weather does not affect my foot anymore and I am virtually pain-free (if I take care

in walking on flat surfaces).Lou, I am so grateful. When we did the meeting to discuss the proving in class, it was too soon to know how the remedy would be for me. Now, I know that the Vanilla proving was curative for my arthritic pains in my broken ankle [and foot].”[Update now 13years after Vanilla planifolia

-“The Vanilla is still working! I have a taken a few doses over the years and have not had any considerable foot pain since the proving.“

Vanilla planifolia for Injuries to Feet or Hands

•Consider Vanilla planifolia and other orchids for injuries to or conditions of the foot and hands where the disposition (mental/emotion) agrees

•First aid for injuries to the foot especially

•Pains are worse from damp or wet weather

•Pains aching in spots, strong, shooting

•Healing broken bones and sprains in the foot and ankle

•Coldness in feet with heat in injured area

•Painful conditions of the feet including Morton’s neuroma-pain in spots in heels or soles

Two Important Aspects of Orchids and Orchid Remedies

•1. Mycorrhizal-A mycorrhizais a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular host plant.(Greek: μυκός, mykós, "fungus", and ρίζα, riza, "root”, pl. mycorrhizaeor mycorrhizas) -Wikipedia

•2. Adaptation and Mimicking the Specific Element, Animal or Insect that Helps with Pollination

Orchid Mycorrhizal

•All orchid plants need a fungus for the seed to germinate and that is the meaning of “mycorrhizal”

•This is the most important aspect of Orchids which differentiates them from other plant families

•It reflects in the mind and disposition themes

•Fungus grows best on rotting or decaying matter

•The dark, death, destructive, battle-like, war-like elements of fungus (such as in Agaricus) gives forth to the beautiful elements of an Orchid- like in the movie-

“A Beautiful Life”

•Joy in the Midst of Conflict, Death and Destruction

•From Calypso bulbosa Orchid Proving: “...the juxtaposition of suffering with innocence. I saw butterflies entertaining children at the fence of Auschwitz.”

1. Orchids Transform the Fungus

How This Forms Individual Dispositional Indications for Orchid Homeopathic Remedies

•The disposition of individual orchids can reflect how they handle the fungus or attempt to heal the fungus energy

•Orchids transform the dark fungus to positive growth in the light

•So a statement of the mind disposition theme can begin with: “In the midst of...” and end with some dark or fungus like situation

For example-

•Dendrobium lasianthera- “In the midst of being prisoners of war or in the midst of violent conflict”

•Trichoceros antennifer- “In the midst of toxic sexuality”

•Sobralia macrophylla- “In the midst of dying, burial and death”

1. ‘Fungus Tranformation’

Example:

Sobralia macrophylla

•Large leaved orchid from Panama or Costa Rica

•Homeopathic Proving in Panama-Master Prover- MatildeFlores

•In this proving much about death, funerals and burials came up for the provers

•Theme of this orchid therefore is: ‘In the midst of dying, burial, funerals, the meaning of death”

•Patient may be focused on death, yet have some other orchid themes

•Additional Themes: Meditating, constant thoughts on death and dying, dying alone with dignity and peace, chronic depression and perseveration on death, ancestors, family memories, violence and gore, clothing, hysterical laughing

•Physical: disorientation, confusion, difficulty concentration, yawning, pain right ear, pain neck face, right shoulder, sunburn, soreness joints

2. Adaptation

Over Time, Many Orchids Have Adapted and Mimic the Specific Element, Animal or Insect that Help with Pollination

•Either through appearance or smell

•Some insects actually copulate with the orchid-a kind of sexual trickery by the orchid plant

•The flowers can be quite sexually expressive or expressive of an animal or insect

•Flirtatiousness, high sexuality etc. can be reflected in the disposition of some patients who need orchid homeopathic remedies

•Many homeopathic orchids have symptoms of the insect that pollinate them such as in Apis-like symptoms in Vanilla planifolia and the meliponabee.

2. Adaptation Example:

Trichoceros Antennifer- Fly Orchid

•Remarkable adaptation to the fly of the Paragymnomma genus that pollinates it-flower looks like a fly

TrichocerosAntennifer - = Fly Orchid

•HahnemannianProving led by Master ProverLouis Klein FS Homin Vancouver, Canada

•Some symptoms similar to the proving of Musca Domestica, the fly also published on the web site www.homeopathycourses.com

•Full proving text of the Fly Orchid is available in the book, Orchids in Homeopathy

Brief Summary

•Fly Orchid

•“In the midst” of toxic sexuality

•acceptance of the fragility of life and being in the midst of death; desire for fast motion; joyful communication, keeping everyone uplifted when a relative is suicidal

•herpes; greasy skin; vesicular eruptions on the face; eruption on tips of fingers; migraines left side; muscle pains (similar to Musca domestica)

Orchis Simia

•Monkey Orchid

•Proving in Portland, Maine-

•Master Prover- Nancy Frederick, Sally Williams •Consultant Louis Klein

•‘In the midst of’ smart people who do foolish things

•‘In the midst of’ war, destruction and holding on and covering up

•Movie: Life is Beautiful

•animal-like stimming; escape from danger; reacting to anger, violence, war

•sudden and severe exhaustion; frequent colds and influenza; throat and ear problems worse swallowing; bronchitis, pleurisy; Raynaud's phenomena; hormonal; easy miscarriage - for holding onto the baby; motion sickness; effects of vaccination, autism, monkey like behaviour

•Provers had lengthy and very long, detailed dreams •Many Dreams of stairs, room to room etc.

Phalenopsis gigantea

•Proving – Master ProverSally Williams RS Hom, Consultant Louis Klein

•Elephant Ear Orchid, Gigantic Phalaenopsis, Giant-leaved Moth Orchid

•The most widely-grown orchids in the world are from the genus Phalaenopsis, -including hybrids. This particular species is native to forests up to 400m in parts of Indonesia and Malaysia including Borneo, Sabah, and Sarawak, described in 1909.

•‘In the midst of’ hypercritical persons or group; explosive behavior

•Very good for ADD, ADHD; especially where there is difficulty in communicating,

•Depression, frustration, < learning and school problems, < being misunderstood, < misunderstanding.

•Delusion: trapped, inability to escape; being lost, without direction.

•Problems with comprehension, focus, memory and communication;

•Malaria maism

•Acid reflux; spasmodic pains in stomach and abdomen; hormonal, pregnancy issues; dizziness; •herpes

Phalenopsis Gigantea More Proving and Clinical

•One prover remarks: “I was not able to listen and remember –almost like I cannot hear... My concentration is lacking; I have a dopey feeling all the time.”

Another prover records: “Letters on the computer screen made no sense at all; I had to read [them] over and over.”

•The frustration over the inability to communicate creates social embarrassment. There is a feeling of being trapped by what they perceive as an overpowering disability – a disability that must be hidden; this is experienced as both a desire and an inability to escape.

•These will be patients who have great difficulty in reading and will avoid reading books, instead watching television, videos, or movies.

[Louis Klein]

As a general quality, Orchid remedies are also important for patients who are in situations and relationships that involve sexual or physical abuse and violence

And in a more moderate society, this leads to many Orchid patients being in jobs that exist in the midst of conflict or even violent confrontation and threats, including

lawyers or law clerks, social workers or counselors

Their approach is friendlier and more enthusiastic than is the norm, offering calm, cheer, and solace, yet at the same time they remain somewhat detached from the

situation

In a comparable manner, this theme may appear as the Orchid patient being the partner of someone with a shadowy and difficult, even abusive personality.

The Orchid patient compensates, putting on a brave or cheerful face but, like Lac-del., can also attempt to hide the problems or abuse of the other person

A further way it may manifest is someone who marries into a family, where the previous spouse of their new partner has just died and they are the outsider who,

through their elegant and joyful demeanor, helps heal the family’s grief.

Another way of expressing the preceding theme is “adaptability within conflict.”

Many stories about orchids, and especially narratives about the search for these exotic plants, involve this theme.

Orchids are widespread throughout the world, primarily in warmer climates, but species do exist even in very cold climates.

The Orchid patient is adaptable and makes any conflict around them much more livable. Such adaptation can also be an internal process.

The patient needing an Orchid remedy can adapt to serious limitations and challenges in their health (multiple sclerosis, neurological problems, paralysis, and weakness).

They may keep a joyful countenance in the face of any great physical or emotional challenge.

And as mentioned in the beginning of this section, they may disengage and focus on more superficial, self-gratifying elements in their reality.

Since they grow on dead matter, the issue of death and dying is important in Fungal remedies.

Dreams of death and the impression of death are also prominent in many of the Orchid provings and clinical cases.

I have also seen this theme manifested in a number of Orchid cases where a patient cannot conceive and has multiple miscarriages.

These are also remedies for individuals who may have suffered the death of parents or other caregiver at a young age.

As well as heightened awareness, anxiety, or fear of death, it may also be contemplated calmly or joyfully.

In the proving of [Louis Klein] Trichoceros antennifer there was the idea of taking Sect I on 2

The orchid Group: new Homeopathy Perspectives care of someone who wishes to die and is suicidal.

In Vanilla, there is a feeling of death and evil surrounding the individual and a need for protection from it.

So you could say that many Orchids are “in the midst of death, dying and suffering,” whether this involves a close friend or relative, or a wider societal situation

where there is much violence and death.

The parasitic and dependent qualities of Fungi are also shared by Orchids.

In many of the Orchid remedies there are themes of helplessness yet cooperation.

Related issues of how Orchids give and demand care and support are discussed further below.

Heightened Senses and extreme Sensitivity

In the Orchid provings, the senses were accentuated. There can be hypersensitivity in one type of sense or in various senses.

Particularly profound was the sense of sight, with light playing an important role. Touch was also heightened and refined.

We can also see the seemingly opposite situation - where the senses are overwhelmed, and therefore blocked, and expression is stultified, even apparently impossible

(as is seen in many neurobehavioral disorders and autism). You could say that the problem is more to do with expression than with the actual experience of the senses.

In other words, the sensual experience may be increased but with little ability for outward release.

This sensitivity is also why we may see such a strong interest in their material environment.

In the case of autistic or Asperger’s children it may be that they have an attachment to, or an aversion to the way certain things feel, smell, or look.

They may desire to feel or even smell objects around them repetitively.

Orchid patients may also be artistically sensitive with an acute awareness of the environment around them and a desire to work with it or depict it in an elevated,

aesthetic way. In other instances, there may be a great environmental sensitivity to smells and chemicals.

They may have strong allergies to chemicals, smells, perfumes, dust, or other substances.

This is a theme of patients needing remedies from the whole plant order of the Asparagales, of which the family Orchidaceae is a part.

I have also seen homeopathic Orchids being useful for patients with sensitivity to electromagnetic emanations.

Such sensitivity can also be on an emotional level.

Injustice can easily anger them and they are particularly reactive to others invading their space or what they are attached to. This can even extend to their country’s

space and identity. Specific orchids have anger about specific issues, which are usually related to some particular internal sensitivity or weakness for which they need

to compensate.

They can be acutely aware of criticism, betrayal, and rejection, and those who are gossiping about them.

They often need “space” to deal with their emotional wounds in the attempt to transform these wounds or the emotional wounds of others.

They are sensitive to, and may become paralyzed by baser emotions, resulting in feeling shame.

To avoid this, they may partake in these baser expressions or become deceptive themselves.

In some of the provings and patients I have seen, there is clairvoyance and clairaudience showing how strong the exquisite sensitivity can get.

They can pick up, and be quite sensitive to the psychic forces around them.

The Outsider and Issues of Support

Although some Orchid patients may be quite gregarious, the opposite polarity of extreme and exquisite sensitivity towards the physical or emotional environment

can lead to them cutting off from their surroundings.

They can become isolated and disconnected as outsiders and eventually there can be a complete compensatory disengagement as we see in Asperger’s syndromes

and autism. Patients with deep pathology of this type need a lot of care and attention.

In less extreme cases, there is less severe but still debilitating ADD, ADHD, and other types of neurobehavioral disorders that affect communication, with

a tendency to withdraw.

They may feel alone, like a castaway, and experience either resentment or resignation as a result.

They can have difficulty connecting to purpose or meaning in life or work, preferring to freeload and make demands on others.

In some cases, as indicated in the description of Phalaenopsis gigantea, withdrawal is combined with resentful frustration at communication difficulties.

They may derive strength from other people and need social assistance (in the epiphytic and lithophytic Orchid types), sometimes to the extent that a whole family is

on chronic welfare. Even though they may be lovingly embraced by a group of people or a new family or relationship, they may have underlying feelings that they

will be rejected or that they are the outsider in the group.

On the other hand, they may be in a situation where they care for a relative who requires continuous, substantial financial and emotional support. The needy individual

may be someone who is physically, mentally, or emotionally challenged, including someone who is treated as an outcast.

This could be a child with autism or Down syndrome or a sibling or parent who is drug addicted or is in some way disablied.
