Chionanthus virginicus

Remedy code: 3-665.46.05A 22-year-old young woman has always suffered from menstrual pain in the abdomen. The menstrual pain begins the day before and continues on the day of her period. It is a cramping sensation in the lower abdomen, leaving her unsure of how to sit. Her menstruation lasts only three days, and paracetamol, a warm heat pad, and exercise all provide relief. Her period is always on a Monday. In the past, she used the contraceptive pill, which made her cycle very regular. The pain has been present since she was 15 years old; it disappeared while on the pill, but since stopping it a year ago, the pain has returned. Occasionally, she also experiences severe pain in her esophagus. This pain is related to stress and nervousness or arises without a clear cause. Over the past few weeks, she has been very stressed due to finishing her studies, which has made her feel on the verge of tears at times: "Why do I keep putting things off?" She describes her mind as chaotic during these episodes. The pain in her esophagus moves upward from her stomach and is a dull ache, and no position alleviates it. The pain rises to her throat and can last up to an hour. She can eat during these episodes, but it doesn’t change anything. This issue has been recurring for several years, often appearing twice a month. She stresses about school, even though it’s not particularly difficult, because she tends to procrastinate. She also experiences significant hair loss after showering. Her energy levels are good, and she sleeps well. She has recently started working as an HR advisor at her internship placement and is moving to a large city to live independently. She comes from a large, calm, and harmonious family with a strong bond. She was unsure of what career path to choose. She wanted to avoid work involving too much human interaction, like her parents’ jobs, where one is burdened with others’ problems. Her chosen program seemed versatile and useful, allowing her to find solutions to people’s questions while maintaining a focus on tasks she enjoys, such as working with numbers. The job suits her perfectly: the team is friendly and informal, more like friends than colleagues. She selected her course after taking an online test and felt it was the most useful option for her general development. She has no hobbies, though she occasionally reads fantasy books when she finds the time. Her tongue is pale and significantly indented. (Without additional symptoms, this suggests weak spleen energy, indicating themes of stability and regularity.) She is easygoing but has strong opinions and insists on being right. She adapts well, provided she feels it’s acceptable. Her growth was slow.
