Boy, 9 years old, accompanied by his mother, he is attentive with his face and eyes, his posture slightly dreamy. They are one in a soft and natural way. "My mother already said it in the car on the way here, why I'm here. Very often, I still wet the bed in the evening”. He doesn't wake up from the bed wetting alarm. Mother takes him out in the evening, but after an hour, the bed is still wet; she puts him in the shower, but the next day, he doesn't remember. Sometimes it's a bit later, sometimes towards the morning. He also suffers a lot from hay fever, trees and grasses, causing a stuffy nose, sore throat, and coughing. Last year, they started desensitizing, and it is less now. Now he can handle more, has more energy; he kept playing outside. At two years old, he already needed nasal spray; he was chronically cold, coughing, and shortness of breath, occasional nosebleeds. Mother is also asthmatic, an aunt also struggles with bed-wetting. He is very active, plays a lot, sweats a lot, after a little running, and also at night. He is a very alert boy; he sees everything, feels everything, you notice that in his posture and behavior, he senses other people well. He can find it difficult to shut himself off from other people; it can affect his mood. During the conversation, he is often in himself, looks upwards, looks in all directions; he wants to be a policeman later. He is easygoing, empathetic. Sleeps under a sheet; a duvet becomes too clammy. Was quickly toilet trained during the day, even before going to school. A dream: about skating, I fell on my head (that really happened), I was in the hospital, the head opened, I went skating again, and fell again. Pregnancy: mother was tense, felt stressed. That lasted for a few more years, until he was three. The delivery took a long time. Tonsillectomy at two years old. He regularly stays with his father, every other day; we both have different partners. He is into free-running, running and jumping, running a course, and musical every week. He is busy a lot; school is fun. Also occasionally has problems with his bowels, bread and sugar cause constipation, abdominal pain, and gas. Mother pays attention to healthy eating, tries to keep it balanced. My stomach ache: as if little men are in the stomach, hitting with hammers, and men stabbing. Then he puts his hand on his stomach. Doesn't want to walk then because it makes it worse; sitting still doesn't help. Mother gives him a massage. With tension, if he is nervous about something, then more urination. Stressful things can linger too long in his head, for example, the holiday.
Analysis
Silver series: Creative hobbies, imaginative fantasy. Also respiratory problems, mucus. This is known from the Malvaceae, and it can be extrapolated to the Malvales. Many complaints have to do about 'mucous membranes', the intestines, hay fever, the bladder. The latter is a presupposition, but you can see where it leads, to a prescription that does or does not explain the story. The aspect of culture is also a theme of the silverserie, which corresponds to Silver series; mother is Indian, he lives in two different families.
Silver series5: Feeling, sensing people, lives a lot in his thoughts, in his own imagination, which is very vivid.
Phase 3: Unable to shut himself off. The situation requires: adapting, meeting expectations. Mother is closed about tension at home, talks around it. That can also be a Malvales indication, holding tension inside; she later also mentions that mother and child are very similar.
Phase 4: The boy exudes confidence; mother is unconditional: the outside is Phase 4. Underlying, the basis is 'adapting' to the situation, to the other 'house culture'; you also see the certainty reflected in the fantasy of becoming a police officer.
Stadium 11: Difficult time around and after pregnancy; she talks around it, holding on, enduring. Prescription Ceiba pentandra C200.
Follow-up
After five weeks: bed-wetting quickly diminishes; he has been dry for a while. Previously, it was a few times a week, now only twice. He has even gone to the bathroom by himself at night a few times. If it still happens, it's in the first sleep or still at night, often between 5 and 6, large amounts.
The period between ‘accidents’ lasts longer. Still sweats a lot. During the day, also large amounts of urination, also before sleeping. His restlessness can start to bother the mother. Two months later, he is dry all the nights. As a herb, Ceiba contracts, promotes urine, and relieves cramps. The bark and leaf are used for bronchial congestion.
