Avicennia marina

A man, 71 years old, with a square posture, has experienced life-threatening health issues several
times, could after miraculously recovering each time continue with his life. The latest nearly-death
incident made him highly religious after recovering from the illness. He used to be cheerful,
spontaneous, occasionally exuberant, and always up for a chat, discussing trivial matters and
enjoying a lot of music at home. However, he had been walking through the village somber and
complaining, appearing melancholic and distant. Upon seeking help, he shuffled in with a slight
panic in his eyes, completely absorbed in his own thoughts. He spoke breathlessly, sighing,
expressing his anxiety, and stating, "I am overworked, and worried. I occasionally see double and
feel a bit nauseous, it has been going on for months. I am terribly restless inside, I take everything
to heart. For example, if I receive a letter or if something goes wrong with my daughter, I get
stressed."
The restlessness started mainly with gloomy weather. During the summer, he used to take a scooter
ride every day to relax, but his dislike for winter triggered his unease. The restlessness began
immediately upon waking up, but when he went out, these thoughts disappeared. He no longer did
much work for the church, a role he had performed as a host for many years. He still felt uneasy
about any sensation in his body or head, and the dizziness bothered him, especially while driving.
He described seeing double, affecting his balance, forcing him to look at the ground, and losing
balance when turning around. His energy was low, and stress hindered his ability to move; he
walked aimlessly and sluggishly. Despite having been happy in the years prior, he now felt constant
unrest, as if something had been taken away.
In his dream, he expressed a desire to buy a bread but was ignored. He had persistent thick mucus in
his nose for years, dating back to the surgery 35 years ago. However, he felt great during a lecture
on Gothic architecture. Hospital letters brought him anxiety, prompting him to make the sign of the
cross before opening them for reassurance. Last month he fell at home through a glass table, he is
feeling lonely. He experienced double vision increasingly, and obsessive thoughts about someone
ignoring him in a store caused him distress and almost panic. He often dreamed about his volunteer
work from previous years, feeling incomplete.AnalysisSeries 6: Eyes, head, brain, spiritual, obsessions.
Series 5: What comforts him is the atmosphere and music in the church, art.
Phase 4: I was so happy. His recent world involved being a church caretaker, giving tours, and
feeling content. The situation is stable; nothing has changed for months.
Phase 6: Something has been taken away; I am ignored, feeling lethargic. Feeling exhausted.
Stage 1: Restlessness, panic, loneliness, spontaneity, experiencing unity.
Prescription: Avicennia marina C200.Follow-upAfter six weeks: His condition fluctuates. Headaches have mostly subsided, occurring occasionally
instead of throughout the day. Nausea is very rare now. On good days, he feels fine, and his vision
is clear. Poor vision persists only at the edges of the peripheral field, while central vision is good.
Double vision occurs very seldom, usually while watching TV. Emotional well-being improved for
a while, but occasional unrest has returned, driven by worries about his daughter's promotion. He
thinks about her every day. He no longer takes medication for anxiety. Dreaming remains frequent
but is diminishing. Walking and balance have improved. There is a slight sway, but no more
shuffling. He prefers peace and quiet. The following year, he gradually withdraws, eventually
stopping his work. Ptelea, Opuntia, Upas, Sialia, and Aragallis given the year before with only little improvement.
