Sauter)
Floweressences:
Rose Family plants strongly rooted and have
flowers and fruits with five-fold geometry, representing the perfection of the human
form (as in Leonardo da Vinci’s drawing of the starman with limbs outstretched).
The Blackberry, Quince, and Rose plants, inparticular, have long roots deeplyanchored
in the ground, thorn-coveredstems, and vigorously-growing branches.These essences
work with themes ofincarnation, helping one to strongly takehold of life on
Earth, and to bring forcesof love, compassio andcommitment.
[Jan
Scholten/Deborah Collins]
The Rosaceae, or
rose family, belongs to the much larger order of Rosales. As well as the
familiar garden roses, the family also contains many fruits and berries, such
as apple,
crab apple, pear,
strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, and many stone fruits such as peach, cherry
and apricot. Like the garden roses, these are often (though not always) thorny
plants, protecting
themselves and their fruits by flesh-tearing thorns along the branches. Many of
these plants also contain the precursors to hydrocyanic acid, one of the most
lethal poisons
known to man - only on eating the fruit is it turned into hydrocyanic acid in
the stomach.
Here we already see
several of the themes of this large family: the sweetness of the fruit,
together with the thorniness of its protection, and a stifling quality,
breathlessness and
suffocation,
brought on by the cyanides within the plants.
Homeopathy uses
several of these plants, although until recently, many of them have not been
well-known as remedies. By understanding the themes of this family, and the
sensations that
accompany it, it has become much easier to recognize and prescribe them. The
well-known remedy Crataegus oxyacantha or hawthorn, for example, has long
been used to deal
with heart problems, and its thorny character is obvious. Until recently,
however, we have not seen it in its
larger context,
which pertains to all the Rosaceae: heart complaints due to problems in
(romantic) love relationships.
[Jan Scholten]
Described the
overall theme of the Rosaceae as “the pain of a broken heart”; the heart and circulation are
generally where the problems manifest most clearly.
Each of the various
members of this family deals differently with issues of romantic love and its
possible pitfalls. The rose is a symbol of romantic love, with its sweet smell
and beautiful
blossoms. It is often gifted to one’s lover, and is often used in bridal
bouquets.
The apple is a
symbol of love and sexuality. Problems relating to love can be reflected in the
sexual sphere as well, as seen in the rubrics: < coition, weeping, sadness
and
irritability. People
needing a remedy from the rose family can have a tendency to idealize love -romantically
dream of “the prince on the white horse” or “the unattainable
princess”.
Once they are in a relationship, they have the
tendency to give all that they have. They can be very sweet, as sweet as a
peach or a cherry. They are often very cheerful in
order to bring happiness, but they tend to give
more than they receive. They live for their love so much that there is no space
for them, no room to breathe. The air is there,
but they cannot breathe it in because they give
themselves away completely. They demand that love be perfect and exclusive,
there is no room for affairs. They might have fallen in love with someone who
is unattainable or who does not love them in the same way, and they get the
idea that they are unlovable. In the end, they can feel empty,
having given themselves away in vain. If their
love is unfulfilled, or even worse, if it is deceived, they can become ill,
both physically and emotionally. Then, they can become
irritable, making nasty remarks, or expressing
their irritation constantly, showing their thorny side.
Although this
“love” aspect is generally associated with romantic love, these remedies can
also be of use for those who put all their passion into their work, or another
field,
and end up feeling
disappointed if it is not returned.

In Scholten’s
system, the remedies can be placed in stages, according to the periodic table
of elements. Here only the general themes are given.
Stage 1:
Hydrocyanic acid/= acute of the rose family. The most lethal poison known to
man, this gas has been used in the ultimate form of lovelessness:
Extermination (Zyklon-B of the
holocaust gas chambers).
1.1: Quillaja
(Chile soap bark tree) Naïve, impulsive in relationships
Stage 2: Geum urbanum (avens)They have the idea that they
have to adapt (stage 2) to their partner, that they are not allowed to have
something for
themselves, sometimes nothing at
all. They think that they have to give everything in a relationship. They can
adapt easily and so they can easily
fulfill their role, but they can
also feel that it is not good to adapt so much. They feel that they should also
have space for themselves, but this can
lead to guilt: “If you do that, your
love is not real.” This duality can give the feeling that they do not have the
space to live or the air to breathe,
and it can lead to asthma.
Physical: see
Clarke for a full description
Asthma; bladder
disorders; pains in penis; shooting pains in abdomen
Stage 3: Potentilla tormentilla (Tormentil)
They are in a relationship
that is in its starting phase (stage 3). They have the feeling that it is not
established yet, and that they cannot count on their
partner. This can
lead to sadness, irritation, fighting or indifference. They can be very
irritable, trying to force their partner to make a choice for them
but, as a reaction,
(s)he becomes more and more reluctant to make that choice, seeing the
relationship as a trap that cannot be escaped. The result can
be that the relationship is
always in turmoil. It can also be that they themselves cannot make a choice,
and that their doubts concerning their partner makes
them avoid marriage. They
could also fall in love with someone who is not really available, a married
person, a priest or a homosexual. This can also lead
to triangle relationships.
Physical:
Nose: sinusitis
Mouth: inflamed,
bleeding gums, gingivitis provoked by mercury
Pharynx: inflamed
Stomach: ulcer, vomiting,
blood
Liver: icterus, diabetes
Rectum: prolapse,
diarrhea, bloody, enteritis, dysentery
Female organs: menorrhagia
Limbs: gout
Skin: wounds, weeping
eczemas, cracked hands and lips, contusions
Stage 4: Sorbus
domestica (Rowan tree, mountain ash tree)
This person cannot stand his partner being
closed; behind this is the fear of betrayal. He has his doubts about the
marriage and whether the partner really loves him. He asks himself if he has
made the right choice and if there is real love, and even whether he should be
married at all. It can be that the partner is silent and does not speak about
important issues. “Love should be open, love can accept everything from the
other.”
Physical: Heart
problems, pain, palpitations, fast pulse, lying left side <
Stage 5: Malus
communis (Apple)
The relationship
has started but they ask themselves if they should go on with it. There are
doubts about the relationship: is it a good choice? Does the
partner really love
them? Are they strong enough to go on? Do they really love the other? Their
ideals of relationship are so high that they doubt if
they can live up to
the huge task.
It can be from a
situation where they have been seduced into a relationship that they did not
really want. They wonder if there might be a better partner
for them, or if
they might be a better partner for another spouse.
Stage 5.1: Malus
pumila (Crab apple)
Delusion: dirty,
everything, food, himself
Delusion: abused,
molested, victim, being soiled or abased
A feeling of
dirtiness is common in those who have suffered sexual abuse or
inappropriateness
Stage 6: Sanguisorba
(Great burnet)
The feeling is that
the relationship is not working well; the partner has chosen for them but
doesn’t really go for it. This makes them angry so they try
to force their
partner to really make the commitment. The partner has to prove that he really
loves them. On the other side they have to prove that
they really love
their partner, but that feels just as difficult. So they have the tendency to
choose someone who is not really available, a married
person, someone
from abroad.
Sensitive, irritable
patients
Physical:
Head: congestion
Lungs: bleeding
Intestines: dysentery
Female organs: menses long,
profuse, climacterium, chronic metritis
Legs: congested,
varicoses veins, ulcers
Stage 7: Alchemilla
vulgaris (Lady’s cloak)
They have a very
loving and helping quality. Mistakes are often covered with the cloak of love.
They want to spread love in the world, bring harmony to
the people around
them. They can be very perfectionistic in their work and actions. This often
results in much criticism toward themselves. They have the
feeling that they should do better. They have a
marriage in which they do the most, but they like that. Even when the partner
is not friendly or is even violent, they keep on helping and loving.
Physical: see
Boericke
Eyes: inflamed
Mouth: inflamed
Digestion: gastritis,
enteritis
Kidneys: urine scanty,
edema
Female organs: menses copious,
leucorrhea, menarche late, menopause problems
Respiratory system: cough
Skin: wet eczema, cuts,
bruises, wounds suppurating
Dream: Working too much,
in a caring institution, refusing the reward for it, giving gifts, being
criticized for the work.
Delusion: people
are more alike than different
Delusion: distance
from the world
Stage 7.1: Agrimonia
eupatoria (Agrimony)
They have a partner
who is not well, either emotionally or physically disturbed, or both. He is not
giving much and he laments about his problems.
It feels like a
heavy burden to carry. In the beginning they do it with love, but after some
time the burden becomes too much for them. Out of a
feeling of
responsibility they cannot leave the partner, and they continue with sorrow in
their heart.
There is a tendency
to avoid the problems instead of facing them, to glide over difficulties, with
attempts to stay cheerful, find diversion, or reach
for stimulants like
alcohol or drugs. There is a forced cheerfulness externally; they hide their
suffering, even though suffering internal torment.
Physical:
Weakness
Kidneys: pain, deep, colicky
pointing in the lumbar region, extending down the ureters; urine muddy, foul
smelling
Female organs: pain in uterus
Stage 8: Prunus
spinosa (Blackthorn, sloe, bullace)
They have a relationship
that is hard. They have the feeling that they have to work hard to keep it
going, that they have to give themselves
completely. This
gives them the feeling that they are constantly busy for their spouse. It is
never enough, the husband is never satisfied. He always
says that their
love isn’t real, otherwise they would have done more. It can also be that they
demand complete love from their spouse. The proof of
their love is that
they do everything for them, that their life is completely for love and the
marriage. This leads to much grief, sadness, irritation
and sourness.
Physical: see
Boericke, Clarke, Phatak
Ailments from
sexual abuse
Generals: night sweats
Sensation:
shooting, pressing outwards, lightning, wandering
Time: night
Aversion: food;
< warm food;
Stage 9: Cydonia
vulgaris (Quince)
They have the
delusion that their relationship is almost fulfilling, almost complete, but it
still requires some minor adaptations, corrections
or approval.
Physical: see
Culpepper
Ailments started after
deadly poisons, white hellebore
Diarrhea, dysentery
Stage 10:
Rosa canina
(Dog rose)
They feel love as
ideal and noble. There’s no cover. In Western culture, there is the ideal that
love should be all giving, the ideal of romantic love for
the partner.
Writing poems to
loved ones.
- Rosa damascena
(Damas rose)
A very old symbol
of love, the theme of which is present in all members of the Rosaceae. Love is
idealised in its most romantic form, as in the time of the
troubadours, the medieval ideal of love, a
love that will never come into form because it is too ideal and too idealised.
Dwelling in romantic thoughts and
feelings.
Stage 11:
Amygdala amara (Bitter almond)
See Boericke
Excessively
brilliant eyes, sardonic laughter, joyful countenance, sparkling eyes
Stage 12:
Crataegus
(Common hawthorn)
There is an
overreaction in love matters. They want to do it too well and tend to give too
much but they have the feeling that people or circumstances
are acting against
them. This can lead to trying to control the circumstances or the partner. It
can lead to over-control or even tyranny. They become
very bossy and
irritable from the least thing that they see as resistance.
They can also be
controlled too much by their partner, if they have a partner who is a tyrant.
“The war of the roses” - fighting and not giving an inch.

Mental dullness;
confused
Calmness; nervous
General: weather: >
fresh air, < warm room. < rest, quiet
Sleep: insomnia of
aortic patients
Stage 13:
Rubus fruticosus
(Bramble)
The relationship is
unfulfilling. They feel that they do not receive much love, although they themselves
give too much. Their partner is often
demanding,
irritable, self-centered or egotistical. This leads to the feeling that they
don’t want to continue with the relationship. But on the other
hand they stay on
because of feeling responsible for the other, or because they hope that it will
improve. They feel that they cannot leave, it’s too
painful. It reminds
one of the thorns of the blackberry that point inwards; one can go quite easily
into the brambles but cannot come out without
getting scratched
everywhere.
They can also be in
a relationship with someone who is always thinking of leaving. It feels as if
only half of the love is left.
Circumstances can
also give them the feeling of being locked in a marriage. They can feel
imprisoned by the care for the partner and children.
They can no longer
do what they want.
Physical: heart
problems, palpitations
Prostate complaints
Stage 14:
Spiraea ulmaria
(Meadowsweet, Queen of the meadows, Hardhack)
See Boericke,
Clarke, Hansen
A relationship
where the relationship is a formal one, it has no real content anymore.
Morbid
conscientiousness
Stage 15?
Stage 16:
Fragaria
(Wood-strawberry)
They know that the relationship is in fact
over, but they keep waiting for their lover to come the back one day, recognizing
that the relationship had been true love. They can keep on waiting for years,
even when their friends and relatives, and they themselves see their “delusion”
as unreal.
They continue to fantasize and speculate on how
and when their ex-lover will come back. Since they are still full of their old
love, they cannot open for a new love, so they remain alone and end up as old
spinsters.
Sweat: profuse, viscid
sweat
Physical:
Faintness.
Suffocation, stroke, convulsions, anascara
Lungs: dysponea,
sarcoidosis and especially swollen tongue. Strawberry tongue
Skin: urticaria,
chilblains
DD.: rosaceae, Ars.
Apis
Stage 17:
Laurocerasus
(Common laurel, Cherry laurel)
See Boericke,
Clarke
They have the
delusion that no one loves them and that no one can love them. They think that
they have lost all the love there is and are not
lovable at all, so
they don’t even try to find love. This can be the consequence of sexual abuse,
fighting parents, fright and shock. It is
understandable that
someone born with such an attitude does not want to live, like the blue baby
after birth. They retire from life, which can
be physically
expressed in fainting, heart disease, strokes and coma.
Delusions: sees old
men with distorted faces and long beards
Dreams: hideous,
misfortune, dead bodies, dead people
Fear and anxiety
about imaginary evils
Memory loss
provoked by fright, pain, etc.
Dullness of special
senses
Ailments from loss
of love, every excitement, fright
