An 8-month-old baby, with a broad face and build, he is calm, observes, and moves almost independently, as a spectator, letting everything he sees pass by, but it seems like he registers everything. Mother is attentive, a young woman, with a rash on her chin. The baby has eczema on his face, the forehead is fiery and red, he scratches, it remains restless and started in week three, he always has red cheeks. He also has a cradle cap, which is often wet and smelly. They don't want to apply hormone cream, fat and oil do nothing. There are also dry spots on the belly and back, a few weeks ago he got antibiotics because he had a discharge from the ear, the ear was fiery red, he was in pain, it smelled bad, and he was very congested then. Occasionally coughing, he has been in daycare since three months old. It wasn't a pleasant pregnancy, before this the mother had a few miscarriages and she was very anxious, had bleeding, kidney congestion, got painkillers, and kept thinking a lot. She couldn't work, had physical complaints, and was nauseous. After colic from kidney stones, she had a lot of contractions. The delivery was difficult, lasting two days, but it was a normal delivery. Her symptoms disappeared after delivery, and she could enjoy the baby and the situation after two weeks. Breastfed until six months. He is a cheerful child, doing well in daycare, he doesn't sleep well there, keeps watching the other kids, and distractions do him good. Sleeps very well, and already sleeps through the night. Eats everything, and starts solid food at four months. The stool is good, with no colic.
AnalysisCarbon series: It is striking that so much is going well, there are no indications explaining the rash. So the analysis focuses on the overall picture. What is an important characteristic, what is prominently present in the story, in the whole picture: central is the mother's fear, 'will the child stay this time', fear of whether there is a chance of 'life', of survival, of being born, the basis of existence, fitting with
Carbon series. The child did not have the attention of his mother, only after birth could she start enjoying herself; during pregnancy, he was 'alone', only your own body as existence fits with also
Carbon series. ‘Lost in a dangerous world’, a threat to existence, to origin. Skin points to the
Carbon series, analogous to
Carbon series. The rash starts at three weeks, which is a predisposition, then look at the circumstances. Often complaints from birth are already an indication for the
Magnoliidae (a remark from experience,
Carbon series or a Lanthanide prescription in case of problems of complaints from birth on). Use the mother's feelings as a starting point, it influences the child, and the child's sensitivity influences the mother's feelings. Also characteristic is the delivery, and the condition of the mother, from this you get indications about the
Phases.
Phase 5: Congestion (the kidneys) expulsion as an ‘item’, and the theme ‘loss’ that we know from
Stage 15, and
Nitrogenium. Restlessness.
Phase 4: Staying in the womb, the delivery lasting two days.
Stage 10: Behavior is calm and stable, his development and mother too, that's what's mostly visible. Kidney energy in TCM fits with fear, with the basis of existence.
Prescription:
Laurus nobilis MK.
Follow-upIn the first week, the redness decreased, and the forehead remained calm but there are still spots where the child regularly scratches. There are new spots on, the neck, and collarbone, also fiery. The skin on the face remains restless. Cheeks still turn very red very quickly, especially when tired but also sometimes upon waking up on one side. After three weeks, he gets a discharge from the ear, without complaints or pain, but with sniffles and some coughing. The discharge is watery, with clear fluid. Mother mentions that he also had a rash behind the ears, which is almost gone now. These weeks went well, he is developing rapidly, starting to crawl and stand. The cradle cap is still there and occasionally smells. Eats well, and a lot. Tongue clean: mucous membranes calm. After a month, everything is permanently over.
