Hypoxis hemerocallidea
Year 2022, Issue 27CaseAuthor: Ruth Svetitsch
A Case History of Hypoxis hemerocallideaIt is September 2016, little Eric (name changed) is four years old, attends the second year kindergarten when several boys attack him violently in an unobserved moment. As a result he falls silent in the kindergarten, literally doesn't make a sound anymore, can no longer be moved to talk. A visit to a dentist who yells at him because he doesn't do what she tells him makes the situation even worse. He no longer speaks on the street, even at home, in the presence of strangers. He cries much more often than before.
Diagnosis: Selective mutism
It's decided to give him logotherapy. At the same time, in April and July 2017, he first receives Aconitum, in March 2018 Lycopodium, and in September 2018 Pulsatilla. There is no improvement.
In November 2018 - he has been attending primary school for two months, where he is increasingly having problems because of his silence - I find in the "Kenton provings" the proving of Hypoxis hemerocallidea.
I administer the medicine once in a C200. About six weeks later he receives a second dose. Another six weeks later Eric speaks first sentences in the presence of strangers, a short time later he talks to the (new) dentist, another month later he is already quite talkative in the surgery and I learn that his school problems are a thing of the past.
Another conspicuous anamnesis:
In January 2017, a blood clotting test was carried out due to questionable haemoptoe or haemoptysis. The result showed in a slightly reduced blood clotting value.AbstractPatient, 4, Selective Mutism
A four-year-old boy falls silent for almost two and a half years after an assault by several comrades in kindergarten. First he is silent there, and later at all in the presence of strangers.
The anamnesis is inconspicuous except for a single bleeding in the context of vomiting or coughing. During a blood clotting test, a reduced blood clotting value is determined.
After administering Hypoxis hemerocallidea twice every six weeks, the boy, who now attends primary school with the same colleagues, found his voice again.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator
