“Nerves -
FAINTING, faintness, - closed, room, in” (Murphy, 1993).
As stated
earlier, one cannot simply take the quantitative aspects of the keyword
searches into account, therefore qualitative aspects of Vespa in accordance to
the tubercular miasm follows below:
- fatigue
can lead to mental passivity and confusion :
“Convulsions,
loss of consciousness, don’t answer when spoken to, looks into space, and has
no recollection of attack” (Vermeulen, 2000:1604).
- Love of

“Modalities:
<: Hot stove/closed room” (Vermeulen, 2000:1605).
- Tend to
be feverish, sweating a lot

febrile conditions, felt mostly in the evening” (Allen, 1879).
“After two
hours fever, delirium, face, neck, arms and chest swollen and shining red,
inspiration impeded, swallowing difficult, pulse 126, heart's action irregular
and tumultuous”(Allen, 1879).
“A lady was
stung by a wasp on Back of left middle finger; pain extremely intense; in a few
moments skin became red, and violent fever developed” (Hering, 1879).
“Spasm of
glottis (after application of diluted ammonia to tongue), face pale, drops of
sweat on forehead” (Murphy, 1993). “Characteristic is perspiration on parts
laid on” (Vermeulen, 2000:1604).
- Weakness
in respiratory system, leading to frequent coughs, colds and flu
RESPIRATION
- DIFFICULT (Schroyens, 2001).
“Arms

breath and pulse stopped. Dyspnea. Respiration hurried” (Murphy, 1993).
- Sensation
of being caught, suffocated and compressed (a picture of a man being trapped in
a very narrow tunnel)
CHEST -
OPPRESSION (Schroyens, 2001).
RESPIRATION
- IMPEDED, obstructed (Schroyens, 2001).
As if about
to suffocate (Allen, 1879).
Dyspnoea;
suffocation (Hering, 1879).
“After
bathing for awhile the affected parts, I got into bed again, feeling somewhat
relieved, and fell asleep; but about two hours afterwards, I was again suddenly
roused, this time by a sense of suffocation and
difficulty
of swallowing, and a renewal of the former distress, with intensified severity”
(Allen, 1879).
“Sensation
as if a harpoon were sticking deep in and were drawn on. As if about to
suffocate. Sensation as if dying” (Vermeulen, 2000:1604).
- Time is
short, too much to be done
MIND -
DELUSIONS - dying - he is (Schroyens, 2001).MIND - DEATH - dying, sensation as
if (Schroyens, 2001).
- Burnt
out, going towards total destruction
“After
living in a malarious country, hard work, and great exhaustion, took tincture
of Vespa and the polyuria was cured” (Allen, 1879). “Weakness; with enuresis
somni, heat especially overpowers him” (Allen, 1879).
“Faintness;
all day, with trembling and nausea” (Allen, 1879).
According to
Vermeulen (2000:1604) the essence of this remedy is the sensation that one is
about to suffocate, a sensation of dying, with consequential violent and
intense reactions.
