Veratrum album Kind Anhang

 

Kind: Chamomilla-Kindergruppe.x;

 

ADHS:

Veratrum album. e rad. D12 – D30 Glob wa 5 glob. 1x day or single doses

Interestingly, its blossom blends from dirty white into the green of the foliage with unusually little differentiation (the blossoms are relatively inconspicuous), while the root—well-developed for a plant

of the lily family—is permeated with a powerful toxic process that causes metabolic collapse in the human

being. These patients (cf. the hypotonic, vegetatively labile type) seem to be insecurely anchored in

their own body, circulatory system and metabolism and attempting to compensate for this by constant motor unrest.

The gesture of these children is one of boundless overflowing sympathy, manifested in

• wanting to grasp, touch, hug and kiss everything

• feeling very nervous and inwardly driven

• show a pronounced liking for sour food (which stimulates astral activity in the digestion)

• strong motoricity alongside of tendency to cool extremities

  and quickly developing peripheral cyanosis

• at the same time they show a liking for cold foods ("Cold is characteristic of all effects of Veratrum,"

J.T. Kent in his introduction)

• intense abdominal colics, vomiting, diarrhea and (in girls) Dysmenorrhea always associated with circulatory weakness and coldness all show that the soul organization -the astral body- does not "feel at home" in this area and cannot   integrate positively with the metabolic-limb organization External applications for these children should focus especially on the kidneys. We recommend application of Kupfer-Salbe (rot) wa or Cuprum met. 0.4 % Ointment w in the evening in the kidney region to stimulate spasmolysis and more harmonious interaction of soul and body in the circulation and metabolism.

Over-excitability; circulatory and vegetative lability (renal/adrenal weakness)

 

[Edith Stürmlinger]

Veratrum-Kinder lieben das Schachspiel

In Kombination mit den anderen Rubriken (u.a. auch verlangt Salz, Zitrone) und der Tatsache, dass sie oft ein auffallend linkisches Gangbild zeigen, was Vithoulkas immer betont hat).
