A woman of 36, with a spot of eczema, at the base of her thumb, steroid cream helps somewhat. It's dry and slightly cracked; they were initially blisters under the skin and bumps. It started in the spring, with itching, and irritation, especially at night or in the morning. When she scratches, the skin becomes flaky and hard.
The complaint started during the period she got COVID-19, the location is related to lymph and lung energy. Exhaustion and tremendous muscle pains disappeared after Sarcolactic acid. Now she had just started a new job as an art therapist, and it all seemed very nice. She was tired of her previous job, didn't want to get stuck, got bored, and wanted more dynamism. This seemed very nice: it offers a challenge, now works with groups instead of individuals, group dynamics are nice, the people, interesting how that is. Also beautiful what you can achieve with it, art therapy is a part of it, and the colleagues are very autonomous. I still need to find a balance in my work, I take on a lot, also from my colleagues.
Other than that, things are going well, the energy was good again last year. Previously, she was hyper-alert, and oversensitive to atmosphere and people. The tension keeps getting tighter, in the shoulders and neck, running or painting, that relaxes. She paints more freely and expressively and slams something onto the canvas. She likes street dance, and is always very expressive, in her gaze and movements. When thinking, her eyes look upwards, radiant eyes, also looking inward, briefly mirroring, and then sharply looking at me.
When the muscles are tight in the neck, it often causes headaches, the day before menstruation. This year she has had a lot of hay fever, itchy eyes, and fatigue. She needs to avoid a lot of tension, otherwise, she gets very anxious.
After
Primula obconica, the rash disappears after a few days but returns after three weeks. After five days, she got swollen glands in her neck, and after a week, old complaints returned, now she scratched the skin open.
AnalysisClass 6: Independent, autonomous as an item, therapist.
Class 5: working with a group, art, shoulder girdle, cooperation.
Phase 5: this fits her open gaze, enthusiasm, and liveliness, seeking connection, she seeks dynamism and wants more than she has. Within the
Lamiidae, we also recognize the 'full of expectation' aspect, and the way of looking and at the same time reflecting is known from the
Lamiales.
Phase 3: the situation was not new when the complaint started, but she had to work on it, seeking balance is a characteristic of
Phase 3, the sensitivity she has (difficulty resisting stimuli and hustle). Avoiding (
Phase 3) tension (
Phase 5).
Stage 7: practicing, and learning, both herself and the people she works with.

Buddleja davidii MK
Follow-upShe quickly noticed that things were going well, had a headache for a few days, it's been busy for months, and there was a lot of work without tension for her. From the first weeks on she had moments when she could stand still for a moment and realize 'I'm doing very well, the kids, my work'. The hand, that already went less after the first week, after a month there is still a bit of itching, but the skin is no longer fiery. Some days she's just going, that's restlessness, she makes swinging movements, and she suddenly feels that come over her. She realizes that she takes in a lot in one day, she's constantly on. ‘At work or with the kids, there's no room for me’. The new balance isn't there yet. The busyness and enthusiasm of
Phase 5, no space for herself, too much yielding of
Phase 3. No more headaches. Less irritation. The kids went to the dentist, but she didn't feel panic like always, nor when her husband was away, she found it exciting but no longer anxious. After an onther months, she says she has found balance in giving herself to others and taking space for herself. The panic no longer occurs, if there is unrest now, she feels it in my stomach, she then goes to the toilet for a moment and it's over. The spot on the hand is still flaky. It continues to go well for years. Here we see that first the restlessness and tension disappear, then the spot on the skin, the result. The lung energy of 'making oneself heard'. The years after she is well.
The themes of
Phase 5 and
Phase 3 played for a while, but now she has more insight into them, and is more aware of them. Adapting
Phase 3, there is no time or place for myself, that stems from the enthusiasm, the drive of
Phase 5. Keep working on that, practicing, learning,
Stage 7.
