Remedy code: 3-655.33.01
A 5-year-old boy, with complaints about behavior and toilet training. He is not himself: he gets angry quickly and struggles to handle situations. He is often very clingy, constantly demanding his mother, and she has to do everything for him. He sleeps restlessly, with tossing, turning, smacking his lips, and even falling out of bed. He has a wheat allergy, which leaves him completely drained of energy when triggered; he becomes a "rag doll." He follows a strict diet without dairy products but does eat spelled bread. Wheat: more than half a slice is too much, causing cramps and diarrhea. He regularly has a phlegmy cough that comes and goes, often accompanied by severe coughing fits. He frequently has nightmares: there is a man who must leave, and he yells, "Send him away." At first, he is unreachable when waking up screaming. He has had this type of nightmare for years, usually two hours after falling asleep. It had been absent for a period. For weeks now, he has been quick to anger, demanding that everyone does as he says, stomping his feet when frustrated. This behavior also occurs at school. His teacher keeps him in check; he must not be given too much space. He constantly demands attention, doing so very naturally. He does play calmly at times. The mother constantly supervises him, regularly needing to rein him in but also figuratively steering him (through attention or words), always watching what he does, and keeping an eye on him. This has become so natural that it seems like the normal course of things. This could be a reason or even a necessity. It also appears mutual: "having attention" and being aware of this attention. He is not potty-trained, especially not at night. During the day, he often wets his pants and walks around in wet clothes. He goes to the toilet too late because he is in too much of a hurry. He also has a "toilet phobia"; his mother always has to accompany him, and the light must be on. He has frequent tantrums and struggles with situations that do not go as he envisions them. Full days at school worsen his behavior. Tantrums occur when he is interrupted in his play or when he has to stop playing a computer game, at which point he will throw things at you. This also happens when something does not work out. In general, he is very patient; however, his angry behavior is worse when it involves something he does not like. At school, he can refuse when the teacher asks him something, stomping his feet when asked to stand in line. After school, he is angry and upset for 15–20 minutes, for example, if he is not allowed to play. "I am the best, I want, I want to be number one, always the competition." He has great difficulty getting out of bed and starting the day. He is extremely afraid of anything that flies, especially wasps.
AnalysisThe clear non-verbal connection between the mother and the child is already an indication of the Malvaceae. He is a boy who strongly reacts to moods, such as refusing to visit acquaintances with problems. He also strongly reacts to arguments between his parents. While his older sibling withdraws in such situations, he starts asking questions and reasoning; everything must have a reason for him.
Malvales: sensitivity, reaction, the key-words "sensitive, nervous, parasympathetic" (his bladder). Need for protection; holding in leads to fear. Both the complaint and the personality are explosive (
Stage 1). The mother notes that he can escape into certain behaviors, saying things like, "I’m tired, I want to eat" (Phase
Remedy code: 3). At school, he is in a large, busy class and plays specifically with the problematic, hyperactive children. He joins in with them and finds it exciting. You must be consistent and very clear with him (Abelmoschus); then you can find a way to guide him with discussions or arguments. With this child, everything is a struggle. He always tests boundaries and never spontaneously agrees that something is okay.
Prescription: Abel-moschus MK.
Follow-upAfter two days, he accidentally ate regular bread but experienced no complaints. After six weeks, he wanted to sleep without a diaper, which went well immediately. In the first few weeks, he was angry twice a day instead of all day, but the intensity of the tantrums remained the same. After that, he became calmer. The mother can now be stricter without him exploding. Previously, it was more about compromising and reasoning; now, he listens more often (they have more control over him). He is extremely persistent; that is his character. The mother sometimes thinks, "Child, just give up." He still finds it very difficult to share attention. He is jealous of his brother, who always gives in and makes himself less visible. Getting out of bed has become easier. The nightmares are gone. Only when the conversation turns to insects (everyone at home is terrified of wasps, and he used to be afraid of spiders as well, saying, "I stomp them to death") do I see a vulnerable child who stands close to his mother. Remarkably, he leans toward her at a distance of about
Remedy code: 30 cm, as if seeking and feeling her protection. Mucous membranes are an important theme in
Malvales. A food allergy could depend on this, as well as ENT problems, which may stem from mucous membrane issues
rather than an immunity problem. Sensitivity, sensing energy, and being strong in the non-verbal domain. Complaints manifest as vegetative discharges or emotional releases due to sensitivity or vulnerability.
