French: Cyclamen.
Introduction
Cyclamen is a good remedy for migraines from guilt feeling about having had an abortion. They feel guilty that they have killed their own child. Of course they have many excuses that let them make that choice but internally it still does not feel right but it cannot be changed anymore.
This theme has many variations. A mother can feel guilty about having a handicapped or sick child. Or a father feels guilty about having brought his mentally or physically handicapped child to an institution.
The choices can be defended rationally but internally they do not feel right. It does not fit with the human quality but often the choice had to be made due to material constraints, or due to pressure from parents or a husband.
