Sphagnum palustre

Case by Ina ter Beek
Boy, 10, mentally handicapped.He is aggressive, terribly wild and beats people. He is stiff and walks in a mechanical way with much trembling. He is spastic, his hands are stiff and he cannot hold things like a cup. He cannot talk and only expresses himself with sounds like “uh, uh”. The cause is probably a birth trauma. He got stuck in the birth canal and after the long labour he did not move and was blue for a long time. His father felt that this was very wrong.AnalysisMosses: mental handicap.
Sphagnum: stiff, unlovable; coma.Follow upIn the course of a few years he changes gradually in a big way. His spastic state is reduced a lot. He walks in a fluent way, can hold and turn things with his hands. He understands things much better. he can talk a simple language. His aggression is almost gone. His parents get the impression that he is quite intelligent. He has no enuresis at school anymore. He still needs lots of attention, but he is now capable of waiting his turn. He has become a handsome man.
He got also other remedies, but the above is what the Sphagnum is doing for him. He gets the remedy still, in the course of 3 years.
