Spiranthes spiralis

Spiranthes spiralesRemedy code: 3-633.72.05.
A 60-year-old woman, she is lively, smiley, and looks mischievous, as if she is always one step ahead of you. She comes for “dramatic poor sleep,” it's always been there, she doesn't sleep or sleeps very lightly, it's worse during periods of stress, then she lies down to grind. Now it has been for months, there is no reason now, she has no idea why, she is often awake, and never sleeps more than 1½ hours, then suddenly wide awake. She is used to it, but she does not come to rest. She uses earplugs, every little sound also wakes her up ‘pang’. She is creative, drawing, she changes the layout of the bedroom, she has tried all kinds of things, but her head is not still. It always has. She has a very busy job, but she's not worried anymore if it's not good: ‘So what’. She does a lot of sports, golf fit-camp, cooking, painting, she also teaches a drawing course, she is very active. It can take two hours before she falls asleep, she is alert, she doesn't want to miss anything, and everything is fun. Diversity is important. She is a manager at a bank, with 300 colleagues all over the world, it's a great team, with nice colleagues, and many conferences, she recently started doing automation, and misses her team. Working at home is quieter though. Three years back she got divorced, there was a lot of stress, therefore sleeping got worse, she didn't know how to solve it. Then it was a lot of brooding, helplessness, ‘How am I going to manage’. But now she just lies awake. Melatonin does nothing, she hasn't tried any medication. At the end of the night, it is quieter, after 5 hr. Alcohol does nothing. The stress of divorce, then she would lose half her assets, her ex was an alcoholic. For years it was a struggle. Now it is a friendly relationship though. Accepting, putting things behind you. She needs the house, it gives her basic confidence, and she is not material. A place where you feel safe and comfortable. She has a lot of social contacts, she is never lonely. Had migraines as a child, and after school, they disappeared, at 16 she went to work, she couldn't stand hierarchy, and it just didn't interest her. She developed in practice. At first, she was very insecure in that because she had no training. What appeals to her is, “being there” for people. She often sees things, non-verbally, she hears if they are not listening, and if they are active. She often sees how things will turn out, and very often she knows in advance how things will turn out. She is an outlet for people, they tell her everything, she already sees the sequel, and she can judge people very well. Somehow she feels it, and that also has to do with interest. Twelve years ago I had a severe hernia operation, S 4-5, she feels responsible for everything, and had a lot of work stress. Other than that, I am extremely healthy, she eats healthy, and she does smoke. She never has dreams. She had a happy childhood, loving, everything was allowed and possible, she was the little brat, and did everything that was not allowed. Father died when she was 18, then I thought, "I owe it to him to have my life in order. She lived intensively, a lot abroad, traveling, and did a lot on her own. Mother was always cheerful, she was full of humor. She always used to be very direct, and blunt, she was always herself. She finds it unimaginable that she still functions with so little sleep. During the day she never slept, there was so much to do. Falco perigrines gives no improvement, though she does stop smoking.AnalysisSleep problem, very alert and active refers to the Rosaceae, but you miss engagement and Phase 6 aspects in her story. Reacting quickly is a key symptom of Birds. What is stressful for her: a lot of work and responsibility, what in her person is being there for people, in addition she has a lot of contacts, a problem was divorce. A lot refers to the Silicon series, analogous to Silicon series. Taking responsibility, and wanting to have things in order focuses for her on people and contacts.
Phase 7: the death of her father, the divorce, the theme of alcohol, leaving school as a solution, wanting to be unattached, freedom versus obligation, or dependence.
Phase 2: ‘What next’ (after father's death, after quitting school, after divorce, Phase 2 as a reaction to Phase 7 themes), uncertainty about not having an education, not being able or not knowing.
Stage 5: how do I resolve this, how to proceed? The repertory mentions in the section ‘waking sudden’ Spiranthes, about this remedy we read in Qjure: ailment from mental effort, the Orchids family as characteristic: the split (‘duality’) between being unattached, free from everyone (so Silicon series) and everything, which fits with Stage 7, and the lack of firmness or the strengt to be able to stand for oneself of stage 2. This is what she tells about her work, and the situation as it was at the time of separation.
Prescription: Spiranthes spirales MK.Follow-upAfter two days she is doing much better. When she wakes up now she is much calmer. She no longer feels agitated. She lies awake less, she sleeps better. Her mind is calmer. Falling asleep is also much better. I had already made up my mind before she took the medicine: if it doesn't help I'll just ignore the problem, I won't do anything about it anymore (Phase 7). Indeed, at work, she still sometimes hesitates, she has no training, and no knowledge (Phase 2). After three weeks she briefly feels the back again. She now sleeps without earplugs. The restless legs are less, but since the herniated disc the feeling in the legs has never completely returned. The following years go well.
