Calycanthes occidentalis Remedy code: 3-622.57.06
A 40-year-old man, he is tall and heavy but comes across as very youthful. He is open, stable, and sits symmetrically, but his eyes reveal that he is restless or slightly nervous. He recently started a large company. He does a lot himself, made a plan, and then 'jumped in'. Now he has borrowed a lot of money from the bank. He puts pressure on himself with expensive contracts, there are financial worries, and the money for staff has long since run out. His sleep is variable; he often lies awake and then lies there worrying. He cannot switch off his mind; it keeps going over certain 'issues'. He has usually been in financial trouble in the past, and that is still fresh in his memory. He missed out on a lot in his childhood; his father was on drugs and lived on the streets. He started a business that quickly went bankrupt, and he was in debt for years. This memory still haunts him, and now he also has responsibility for his family.
His back pain and hernia disappear after
Calotropis gigantea . After five months: the only things that still bother him are tension and weight. For years, he has felt that he has an eating addiction. He eats a lot, keeps eating, and never feels full. It's tasty, enjoyable, makes him happy, and he likes to go out. His excess weight makes him feel uncomfortable and his self-image, through photos and in the mirror, repels him. Eating has always been an outlet, both for unpleasant tension and for enthusiasm. It is an addictive urge, at moments of doing nothing. In his youth, eating was a safe distraction, to avoid seeing his father's neglect, to eat away the tension. For years, there has been an unpleasant situation within the family, with arguments and a breakdown in contact. He is worried about his family, he thinks in terms of doom scenarios, it stays in his head.
