Camellia sinensis A 53-year-old woman, traditionally dressed in a charming burqa, talks very openly and makes good eye contact. “I have lost myself.” She was always a spontaneous and fun young lady; she could enjoy all the little things. Now there is no more joy; she is often angry, and there is a lack of understanding in the relationship. She cannot find a way out mentally. It started when she met her current partner; she calls it an unhealthy marriage, and it consumes her energy. The relationship is not healthy; she is too accommodating, and she is a people pleaser. After the birth of their child, there is an ‘emotional imbalance’. She has a restless mind and cries a lot. She worries about everything. She also has neuropathy and a lot of pain in her feet. The symptoms are exacerbated by sugar, and her intestines are upset. The pregnancy was stressful; she had a lot of blood loss due to a hematoma, she couldn't walk because of the pain, and she gained 25 kilos. The child needs a lot of care. After giving birth, she lived in a fog; it took a year before she could accept the child. Before that, she had suffered a lot of trauma because her father was very ill and died; she was a daddy's girl. The back often locks up at the location of the epidural injection, sometimes after a small movement. It feels as if the vertebrae are pressing against each other, as if there is no space. Walking, standing for long periods, and sitting aggravate this pain. She lives on painkillers. The soles of her feet hurt, as do her heels and calves, a nagging pain like after too much exercise, made worse by standing. She has been living on autopilot for a long time, talking herself into negative thoughts, “you are weak, you can't do anything.” She used to be able to help people, but now she can't detach herself from others; she cries with them, even during movies, as if it were happening to her. She has nightmares about a suffocating box, gasping for oxygen, losing people in accidents, and being chased by animals. Fearful dreams about the “unseen,” people being taken over by the unseen, she had to saw off her mother's hands or behead someone. The fatigue is very severe; it sits on her chest, and she often can't get out of bed. She can't turn off her mind; she has to move. She has many internal conflicts, between her heart and her mind, she crosses her own boundaries, she is tired and in a lot of pain, but is forced to cook for her in-laws. She is worried because her ex is threatening her. Her partner often abandons her; she feels his restless energy, “I don't want to be like this anymore, I want to choose for myself, then they can take everything away from me.” She often puts on a “mask” to keep things calm. She is sensitive to the atmosphere. She often wakes up with bruises. She often feels pressure, palpitations, or sharp stabbing pains in her chest. At times, she has headaches, accompanied by cold feet; holding ice on her neck helps. She is constantly agitated, angry, and irritable, and it seems as if she has to give so much. She can no longer control herself.
Phalaenopsis gigantea and
Nepenthes distillatoria gave her not any improvement.
AnalysisSeries 6:
Lanthanides characteristics; standing alone, aware of the shadow.
Ericidae, 3-664.00.00, conflict between conforming to expectations, her ‘society’, the social class of ‘service, oppression, and the family clan’ versus independence, choosing for herself. Tackling things, rolling up your sleeves as the theme of the
Ericidae, is both the solution and the burden here. She wants to be able to do everything, to be strong.
Styracaceae,
Phase 5, 3-664.50.00: restlessness, wanting more, wanting to leave, theme of enjoyment, pleasure.
Theaceae,
Phase 3, 3-664.53.00; adapting, not being able to be independent, overwhelmed by emotions and feelings.
Camellia sinensis,
Stage 8,3-664.53.08; forcing, working hard, paying the price.

Follow-upAfter the remedy she feels calm inside; the nightmares have stopped, she has cut down on sweets and is losing weight, and she no longer feels anger. Now she is angry because she has allowed herself to be abused for so long; she feels like a cash cow. After six weeks, she leaves her husband. She no longer accepts everything; she feels more powerful thanks to homeopathy. She used to be ‘malleable’, accepting everything, but not anymore. She had been constipated her whole life, but now she is fine. The bruises are fewer. Her feet still hurt; it feels like they are about to burst. She is still very forgetful. A difficult time follows; she has to flee to her family, but continues to feel powerful.
