Tilia europaea
Year 2022, Issue 43CaseAuthor: Anne Wirtz
Case Tilia europaeaMale born ’68 came to me in Sept. ’04He had been put on the list of the neuro-surgeon because of his HNP.
The manifestation of the complaints started 4 month ago and 6 weeks ago I had been asked to find a remedy for this bedridden man. His wife gave me extended information by e-mail and because I knew the family (I treated his wife and daughter) already for quite a longtime, I searched based on that information( R.W. /Sciatica /worse night /better lying/mocking ), and gave him
Guaiacum MK(Theme of Guaiac. Desires freedom, worse from having to do things unwanted. See his story below.)The pains got less and the mobility better but he still was not able to stay out of his bed for a longer time. At his birthday party, in the first week of Sept, he stayed out of bed for too long time between family and friends and he got a serious relapse.
The neurologist advised him to go to the surgeon because it took too long for him to recover. The hernia did not diminish. The operation date was fixed for after 4 weeks.
Then they made a ‘real’ appointment with me.
The anamnesis has been taken in a room where he could lie flat because it was not possible for him to sit without pain.He is a sturdy man with a friendly soft looking face. He is a teacher for problem kids. I know him as very patient, helpful and stable in difficult situations and very attached to his wife and daughter, a real familyman.His story;With an MRI the diagnose HNP was set at L4L5. His complaints are mostly left sided. The last 3 years he could have a stiff back after a tennis-competition. From his 6th year he plays football, later tennis and volleyball. He has always been a club-member. He likes to play in teams even biking.
He always was a ‘busy boy’. He is the 3rd of 4 brothers and looks back at a happy childhood.” I bloom in a sociable environment were I feel welcome. The family was a safe place. I felt insecure when in school or clubs I could be laughed at when I was dressed in clothes worn by my elder brother.
I got the feeling that I was out and thought, I’ll show you who I am.
I could feel insecure in relationships, if they would stand. I am quite trustful and got disappointed in the past.
My ambition is going for stability and evaluation as a human being and as a family, to develop myself, in connection and with care for my family and friends.
My family is my priority and I search for a balance between it and an extensive social life.”
The choice for his profession was ‘out of laziness’ because he could do his studies close to home in familiar area.
Now he feels at home in his job situation, for years he felt in a split between his work and problems in his family during quite some time.
In holiday time he prefers to be near family and friends. “An extension from home is OK”.
I like to have the direction of my life, I want to know what to expect and I want to please the group. I am a ‘binder’, I keep them together.”
Shortly his father died at home after being ill for many months. “It touched me heavily to have to see him deteriorating and not being able to help him. I worried about ma, ‘what will happen to her?’ But as a family we have been able to go through the farewell together.
My job is in a dynamic organization and I am part of the management. The director has authority but when he is absent, the dynamic changes and I have to be keen to show that I am part of the group and show myself. This I do not do sufficiently, I avoid confrontation with them because I am anxious that our solidarity gets lost and it can explode. I see that this solidarity is fake.
I like our dog, she is friendly and loyal, loyalty is very important to me, I hate aggressive dogs though.”
Food? Likes everything. He enjoys to cook and eat and drink together with guests.
He likes to go out to the pub with friends. “I am seldom angry towards others, I tend to rationalize my emotions and subordinate my wishes to others. It has no sense to force and I tend to accept a lot.
These last weeks I feel very frustrated because I have no possible power to be of any help to my wife and kid. I want to be there for them and I feel sad that I cannot. I can do nothing but to accept it.”
Now, in this situation; “some people ‘look me out’ of my bed, I feel misunderstood.
The pain extends from the left leg to the ankle and under the foot. The pain comes in unpredictable cramps. Before the Guaiacum I could not lie on the left side or turn in bed. That is better now.Analysis;What was remarkable to me in his story was the fact that from his early childhood through, the sensitivity to be in connection and the fear of separation were very outspoken, which made me think of the MALVALES in Sankarans Insight into plants.
His fear of losing stability, the tendency to take major responsibility for family and friends, convinced me that I would have to look for a tree. The fact that he did not like to be “displaced”/ un-rooted, even in holidays, was an affirmation for me.( I saw this more often in ‘tree-cases’.)
I found Tilia Europea in the sycotic miasm/ stade 10 for Jan Scholten.From Allen we know the theme;Lovesick, thoughts centered on the ideal woman.
Fear of society, craving for attention.
Frans Vermeulen writes that by founding a settlement people used mostly to plant a Tilia europea as the midpoint, it was the patron tree of the village. Loving couples used to sit under it and villagers enjoyed its shade while drinking, joking and making music, the very situation where my patient would feel himself at home.I gave himTILIA EUROPEA 200KFollow upHe took the Tilia eur. solved in water if he felt the need. A few sip a day to start with, from then only from time to time. Within a few days he felt a lot more stable. There was a quick amelioration without the relapses he suffered before. The physiotherapist was very surprised about the progression within 5 days. The operation was cancelled and after about a month he was able to work fulltime again.When I write this article in April ’05 He is still going strong and he is more able to draw his lines and stand for his opinion without anxiety to loose connection.
