Andrographis paniculata

Andrographis paniculata A 60-year-old woman, she is colorful, with her hair dyed in bright primary colors and styled in a mohawk. She has many piercings, and her nails are like works of art, full of color and glitter. She is tense, with bright, hard eyes and an underlying restlessness. She is now recovering from burnout. For 20 years, she has suffered from depression, anxiety, and panic attacks; now the cause is heart problems. Her heart beats extra beats, it ‘skips’, in her own words, her heart has a ‘life of its own’, it makes her restless, she is surprised that other people don't hear it beating so loudly. It makes her very restless; she finds it difficult to keep it out of her consciousness, but she is not the type to just take medication. She has had heart palpitations for thirty years, and since the menopause, they have become more frequent. It changes her, it causes a haze in her head, sometimes an ‘error message’. She is always deeply involved in life, asking herself the question, ‘What do I want in life?’. She has taken time off work and is now busy caring for her parents. She often suffers from balance problems, a result of grit in her ears, which flares up every so often. When she gets up or turns around, she feels like she is going to fall over, everything spins, even with her eyes closed, and this causes her to panic. Sometimes it goes away quickly, sometimes it lasts for months, and it has been affecting her life for years. It started 20 years ago as a result of a difficult divorce. The relationship was not good, and she was depressed throughout the entire period. She was “not her own person; she blended into the other person.” She had always adapted since her childhood; she couldn't detach herself from her parents, a loyalty too. She didn't feel heard or seen. She compensated for everything that was wrong with the other children, who were rebellious, and she herself acted extra sweet. She is a sensitive person; she feels everything, everything is on edge, both internally and externally. Her work: she is a manager, and she feels unsafe within the team because of the dominance of her colleagues. It is a large team, and there is so much energy. She never had that sensitivity before, but in this job, there is pressure, and she has a caregiver mentality. She has strong antennae, which used to be an advantage when she worked in healthcare; ‘boom,’ and she knew. Now, the dominant people get inside her. Her body always reacts strongly to people and changes. The fear and panic lessened after the death of her parents. Even as a child, she had fears about dying; she saw her own gravestone. Her parents didn't understand and just sent her to bed. Her father was often ill and would lie in bed, and she would read her mother's face to see what she wanted or needed. She can still read people by their faces, or by shaking their hands, and she can sense how they are. She was bullied at school because of her appearance. She tends to withdraw into her home. Her hobbies are books and movies, walking, shopping, and taking care of her nails, hair, and piercings.
She takes medication for her blood pressure, but has no complaints. She uses hormones for hot flashes, which she has every night, and she still has brain fog. Her suicidal tendencies began when she left home, pursued a demanding education, and had a dominant partner: it is difficult for her to form a connection without losing herself. Depression runs in her family, as do her expectations of life, both for herself and for others. She has many dreams about all kinds of things. It is so busy, as if she is living multiple lives. Sometimes she floats and is pressed against the ceiling, just a few centimeters away. Anger, entities that bother her, she is underwater with sharks, above her parents' house, she screams that she wants to get out. She can scream in her dreams. She is always tired. She reads a lot of spiritual books. She regularly has hay fever symptoms. She feels displaced. She has always felt different from others, and they have let her know that. She has always wanted to distinguish herself from others, but that also makes you lonely. As a child, she was anxious; people did not understand her. She also likes to be alone because of her sensitivity to other people's energy. The theme is ‘feeling rejected’, never being good enough, which causes sadness. She has had hay fever for 40 years, which ‘distorts’ her taste and smell. Without a nasal spray, she cannot smell anything, and her throat hurts. After Passer domesticus, she was relaxed for a week, then she had a lot of palpitations, which literally took her breath away. The fatigue increased. AnalysisSeries 65: wanting to belong to the group, being bullied, loyalty to parents, feeling invisible, being the ideal child, occurs in case studies of the Labiaceae, nightmares in the Solanales, the philosophical together with giving too much, or being ‘deprived’ in the Verbenales. A reason to consider the entire Class 65. The theme or a recognizable common thread within a plant family can often be extrapolated to the subclass or class.
Series 6: autonomy, suicide – consciously experiencing and being aware of the shadow in life, alone (these are the characteristics of the Lanthanides series), tension.
Series 5: presenting oneself, art.
Series 6: complaints of consciousness, allergy, hay fever.
Series 5: sensing energy and people, reading faces (strongly nonverbal), spiritual, strong dream life (compare here the dreams of the Solanales).
Phase 6: feeling rejected, not belonging, fatigue – burnout, relationship problems.
Phase 3: giving in, not independent, problems with balance, dizziness, merging with others, and adapting.
This brings us to the Andrographoideae; Andrographis is at Stage 4. This is recognizable in the ‘doubt or’.
Prescription: Andrographis paniculatum C30.Follow-upAfter five weeks: she finds it surprisingly good, she no longer has the extra beats and days of racing heart, it is still there, but she no longer notices it. Previously, it could go up, via the sternum to the breathing, which is now much less. Her face is calmer, less present, and less focused on the outside world. She experiences more peace within herself; her fatigue is now minimal, and she is no longer completely exhausted in the morning. She pays less attention to it and is now more concerned with other things. She now smells a lot. She still feels vulnerable, and she likes to be eccentric with her appearance. Her bowel movements are now very good, which was never the case before. Her sleep is better, and she now has calmer dreams. Her partner finds her calmer; she is still alert, but less so. She still does not enjoy her work and notes that she has had many bumps in the road throughout her life. She needs strict boundaries, just like she had at home in the past. She needs structure, but within that structure, she wants autonomy. She is very independent and feels restricted at work. She has felt light-headed twice more, which used to be a sign of vertigo. An old complaint has returned, with much more pain in her shoulders, along her spine, and in her lower back. The pain makes it almost impossible for her to sit. In the months that follow, everything gradually calms down. For the severe complaints in her past, and the long years of her depression, we can expect a long time before she is completely in balance.
