Beta vulgaris

A 34-year-old woman, she is remarkably cheerful and roguish, full of humor, which is reflected in her eyes. She maintains a good emotional distance, while still being very open and spontaneous in her responses. She feels at ease and has a youthful and tension-free appearance. She was sent by her boss; she has an annoying cough that "make him crazy." It's summer now; it usually lasts from January to April, but this year it's still there. The first year it was when she became mom, she was given antibiotics, and it disappeared. The second year she waited, and the third year she tried home remedies, but they didn't help. Fluimicyl made things better, but after a while, she developed an allergy to it: burn marks, itching, and redness on her arms and legs. For months now, she's been feeling unwell and has had a cold. She walks around with tissues, her nose is stuffy, and she always has another cold. As soon as her immune system is down, "I'm the loser." It's always the same on vacation; it's a flurry of ups and downs. The symptoms start always with a distinct sore throat, like, "Here we go again!" Swallowing is painful, morning or night. Then comes the real cold: her nose is stuffy, her eyes are watery, and she gets tired. After a few days, the cough starts, a persistent one. This cough is very irritating; you can't stop it. It tickles near her breastbone; if I stay very still, it's still okay. With exertion, cycling, or talking on the phone, she produces mucus. It's minimal, but it continues throughout the day. She starts coughing immediately upon getting up, and also upon lying down, but it lasts for a while afterward. Sometimes it wakes her up, and she continues coughing even when she sleeps. Her nose is stuffy at night, and it clears up again when she gets up. Is it an allergy?
She also has a sun allergy; the first sun gives her bumps, which she's had since she was 20. She's also allergic to mosquito bites. She often has stomach problems, which are related to food. When eating out, she gets stomach cramps around her navel, feeling the contraction, which starts about ten minutes after eating.
The internist finds nothing; she's had this problem for years. Because of this, I don't eat out often; she's never been able to figure out what's causing it. Otherwise, she's doing well. These kinds of things also make you tired. She's okay with the flu, sometimes with a fever. Her activities include work, sports, and the children. They have a regular schedule; she always picks up the kids. The pregnancies went well, according to plan. The delivery didn't; no, that's difficult: you have no control over yourself; you have to let go. After having children, she had trouble adjusting: before, she could do things whenever she wanted. It took her a long time to adjust: What am I supposed to do with this? She used to work more before she had the kids, cycling short distances; now you have to plan much more; before, everything was more spontaneous. She enjoys being creative and doing crafts with the children. She does enjoy sports, though; you don't have to worry about friends who want to catch up (instead of playing sports).
She trained as a secretary, but she doesn't really know why. She really liked the kind of work: you get to get involved in everything, you're the center of attention, but you don't have ultimate responsibility. Everyone comes to you; you can give something, organize, and arrange everything. Menses: very heavy at first, irregular, and she always has a headache on the first day. She can't stand injustice, like when a child is pushed aside. Then she gets angry and speaks out. If something happens to her, she doesn't really know how to react; she shuts down at that moment. Sleep is good; she can sleep very well, in her own bed. She won't sleep anywhere else; she's too sensitive. She used to spend a lot of time outdoors, building dens; she didn't need other children. Spring is always very busy at work, with lots of trade shows and being abroad: everything is thrown into disarray, she gets little sleep, and she misses the system of eating on time.AnalysisPhase 5 and Subphase 2: enthusiasm, spontaneity, versus being indecisive and adaptable.
Caryophyllidae, Series 63: opinionated, insightful, autonomous, very free, and independent, with control as a theme we know from Series 6, and family and relatives from Series 3 as the opposite. She is homelike, sociable, cozy and small talk; she focuses on this, its her world. It's also a stressful theme, both fitting for the Caryophyllales. Rare allergy: strong evidence of a Lanthanide indication, consistent with Series 6.
The symptoms started after becoming a mother, the balancing act between freedom, going out, and adapting (Phase 5), and the uncertainty (Phase 2).
Stage 2: overwhelmed, shutting down, not standing up for oneself.
Beta vulgaris: cramping is part of the symptoms. Intestinal problems.
Prescription: Beta vulgaris C200.Follow-upAfter four weeks, things are better. That really intense gagging over the toilet isn't happening as often anymore. Twice in these four weeks, it used to be all week long. Last week she was on vacation, and usually she'd catch a cold because of all the air conditioning—in shops, hotels, on buses, on planes, etc.—but not this time! Her energy is good now. In other years, it would go away briefly on vacation and then come back, but now it's staying good. We have to wait until winter to know for sure if things are actually better. What's also gone now is the mucus in her throat in the morning. She no longer coughs while sleeping. She hasn't needed a nasal spray for the past few weeks. Before this, she always caught a cold immediately, with something minor like a draft or a slight cold, but not anymore. The following years she is fine.
