Remedy code: 3-655.45.03.
Malvidae, Sapindales, Rutaceae.
Method: confirming medicine in Class and Phase.
Girl almost 4 years old with a sleeping problem.
Parents come together with the child, a very tall father whom the child hangs on all the time. A close unity, calmness, attention, and uncomplicatedness emanate from it.
Falling asleep is a problem, she keeps bouncing in bed, arms and legs in the air, sits up, also wakes up 3 times. It's a drama and can take 1 1/2 hours. A part with fear, a part not finding rest, anger. Falling asleep around 21 o clock, quickly waking up again when parents go to bed around 23 hours. Sometimes some sleepwalking. Sitting next to her helps to fall asleep, then you have to talk to her.
Since she was a baby, she has had trouble sleeping, we had to walk around with her, but now she is already 4 years old. If she also sleeps during the day, it takes 24 hours. Often comes to lie with you. Good ears. She walks up to her parents and looks at them as if she may join them (apparently she reads it from their posture). Playing with imagination, she is a kind of mother to her little sister.
Father recognizes the shyness. His youth was marked by a lot of moving abroad, another culture made him shy, didn't know how to deal with it.
Labour did not start. The stool is often mushy, and she often complains of stomach pain.
AnalysisScanning rubrics, including somnambulism, here is Dictamnus, the atmosphere of the Rutaceae fits this family. You cannot choose based on only one rubric, but are there confirmations using WP?
Recognition points: Many ideas, and imagination, live a lot in the world of thought: Silver series. Similarity to father (because she is the oldest child): shy, not belonging, placed outside the home, another culture, this emphasizes Silver series even more. Close bond points to P 4. Restlessness fits Phase 5.
No problem, tackling, fresh, energetic: Rutaceae.
Doubt: this is reflected in childbirth and shyness, and this fits stage 3. This already brings you to stage 3 of the Rutaceae, subfamily of the Rutales. Rutales are placed in Silver series5, Phase 4, the subfamily within this order Rutaceae is in Subphase 5.
More confirmations for this choice from the anamnesis: Oldest child, especially look at father. Father: another culture was decisive in his life, and his shyness, culture is a keyword of the Silver series or Silver series, restlessness and contacts known from Phosphor (placed at stage 15) fit stage 15 and thus Phase 5, his action was doubt, here you see stage 3 again, shyness.
Thus, a possible prescription can be confirmed from the classification WP.
Prescription: Dictamnus albus MK
Follow upAfter three days, she sleeps better, wakes only once per night, after a week she sleeps through. Falling asleep still takes half an hour, which is 2 hours gained for the parents. We now have free time again. With falling asleep, her body is no longer so restless, the bouncing and legs up are gone. Stomach pain is over, stool is now good. Everything goes well the following year.
DiscussionWith children, the situation and atmosphere of the family can be used as a theme. The course and circumstances of pregnancy are determining factors. Similarity to parents is a reliable starting point. Always keep in mind: what is most prominent, that is what you base your choice of medicine on.
The above three examples show how WP can be used, as a 'route planner' directly to a medicine (example I), as a support point (example II), or as a comparison to eliminate or upgrade choices (example III). Boundless in possibilities, it shows the greatness of where Homeopathy can grow and evolve.
