A young woman of 26 years, she is athletic, groomed, and has a troubled expression on her face. She talks in a hurry, the voice is dark. She has had acne for years, it goes up and down, but for the last three years, it has been severe, on the face, especially the neck and jawline, and all over the back. They become large inflammations; she is afraid of scarring. She eats healthy, and she works as a sports coach. The period when it started she lived together in a small room, which she did not like. It was also the Corona time, she was sick at the time with rashes everywhere, especially around the joints. In recent years she has had stomach trouble, she is then bloated, with lots of gas during the afternoon. The abdomen is tense, and the clothing pinches. It is sensitive when she pushes on it, made worse by bread and egg. She does not smoke and does not use alcohol. She exercises a lot, rides horses, and does strength training, she enjoys helping others and motivating them, so she became a trainer. Conveying your passion, you improve the lives of others. An education in pedagogy she did not like and quit. At a young age, she had depression, the time her parents got divorced, and she couldn't get along with her stepfather. It was very drastic for her, even then she lived in a very small space. At school she didn't fit into the group, she always felt that way, she felt different and didn't connect. She can still be overexcited, after a busy and pleasant afternoon, or after too little sleep, she is then tired and tearful, and then she needs rest and to be outside. Even as a child, she was easily overstimulated, and therefore missed the connection, became quickly emotional, and felt excluded. Now she works with a lot of people. Sleep is good, and rhythm is important. Sometimes she wakes up crying from a dream, she is shut out or has to go back to school. She is doing caregiver training now, she experiences pressure to work and to do a lot. The relationship was a stress factor, she had no energy. She would like to gain energy, but at the end of the afternoon, she feels empty.
After Campsis, the skin is calmer for a while, but large pustules continue to appear. The stomach remains stuffed at the end of the week, a balloon with stabbing pain, all evenings she has a bloated belly. Her posture is tight and tense, her voice sharp. She still has periods when she feels bad for a week, she is emotional.
Ficus carica also gives temporary improvement, Taraxacum improved her abdomen but after a vacation, everything came back in full force: the bloated abdomen, being emotional, crying fits and gloom, everything feels heavy then, “can't things go normally for a while”, she can worry a lot about her life, “am I doing it right”, “am I making the right choices, do I meet the standard, do I have enough friends”. When she has more free time all of that becomes more so.
AnalysisCampsis gives improvement, but not enough for the skin, and the gut is not responding. The rash at the jawline points to the lower abdomen, the pelvis. Good medicine does not relapse, we look further.
The emphasis on the social, friends, and theme of belonging to the group is known from the
Lamiaceae, this can be extrapolated to the Labiales and the entire
Lamiidae appears from case histories. Often the age of puberty is a time when complaints arise, especially with her feeling of separation from her parents, she was also different.
Allergy (food, soap) points to Class 6. Starting from the rubric “occupation ameliorates”, the emotional part is the most important, a characteristic that as long as she was occupied, she suffered less.
Phase 3: uncertain, not yet belonging to the group.
Phase 4: knowing what she wants, she comes across as strong.
Stage 4: doubt, about ‘if she is doing well’.
Prescription:
Borago officinalis C200
follow upthe following two months everything was very good, the skin was perfect, but an occasional red spot could still be seen on the jawline. The abdomen is calm, sometimes when there is a lot of stress in the form of busyness it still hits the abdomen in the evening. After two months some rough spots appear again on the back of the hand. She notices more and more that there is more peace in her mind, and she is more stable in mood. No more brooding, no more crying fits. She starts her own practice. She is also enjoying work more again. She likes going to a festival to meet people, the conviviality, real contact. The next few months will continue to go well.
