A 13-year-old boy has been suffering from allergies for four years. Tests at the allergist revealed pollen and dust mites. He has a lot of problems in the summer. His symptoms fluctuate dramatically, his eyes burn, water, and hurt. He has a lot of pus, which can be thick and red. A cold compress helps. Aereus, Nasonal, and Opatarul drops don't help. He has red, round spots on his forearm, and the skin is swollen. In the spring, his entire back is covered in these kinds of red spots. He has more problems outdoors, but in a wooded area, it's very bad. During the allergy, his energy is low, and he feels chilly and listless. He only does what he needs to do and then collapses. Sometimes it's severe, and then the itching drives him crazy. Otherwise, he's not often sick, but lately he's had more headaches, after school or upon waking, near his forehead. These can last a long time. When he was a toddler, his parents divorced, albeit amicably; both parents have new partners. In recent months, he had an argument with his father about sports. He spoke up and put everything into words, like, "Should I choose myself or my father?" He's level-headed and puts things into perspective. Generally, their relationship is good. He plays outside a lot, plays sports with friends, and his mood fluctuates: grumpy or cheerful. He struggles with friendships; his thinking is often more advanced than his peers. He doesn't always understand why others are the way they are. He always has a strong opinion. As a child, he had to adapt a lot to keep everyone happy. He thought it would always be this way. He went through a process. His mother also addresses and discusses everything clearly with the children. The divorce contributed to that: "Now I have to take care of the children." After taking
Terbium muriaticum C200, the symptoms disappeared the day after taking it and didn't return for another year. (Explanation for
Terbium muriaticum: allergy, focus on the eyes, being self-reliant, adult behavior in a child, are characteristics of
Lanthanides. The mother wanted to persevere, consistent with
Stage 11. The theme of care, from both parents, or Muriaticum, and separation is
Stage 17.)
The symptom returns, so we are looking for a possible cause, either in his external world or a change in his awareness due to his development or physical growth.
In the spring, it starts again a bit, with itching in the inner corner of the eye, and an itchy nose on the outside.
Eczema patches appear again on the inner side of his forearm. He got braces, but they don't bother him much. He now pays more attention to his appearance, with a neat hairstyle and clothes. School isn't exactly a great place to be; he only has two good friends, and they are now very close, without involving him. This bothers him, making him sad and angry. Last year, things were fine. His friends are behaving differently; it's too much for him, and he doesn't want to be a part of it. He often comes home angry, tearful, and resigned. They talk about it. His behavior remains erratic, and his friends don't understand him. He's now more withdrawn, not thinking. He has strong opinions of his own. In recent months, he's had more headaches, which worsened with homework. He often doesn't understand the other children's behavior. He's very critical and clings to the family's standards; friendships require different rules of conduct.
AnalysisAsteranae, 3-660.00.00, allergies, headaches, and remaining strongly opinionated refer to the
Lanthanides, or
Series 6.
Lamiales, 3-665.50.00, Not fitting in (anymore) with your friends, not belonging, or not being appreciated, is especially common in the
Lamiales at this age (see the article Lamicaeae, we can extrapolate that to the
Lamiales).
Being withdrawn, inward-looking, and withdrawing is typical of
Stage 4.
Adaptation is characteristic of
Phase 3.
Together, this results in the
Scrophulariaceae,
Stage 4 (Wonderful
Plants version) with the medicine
Verbascum thapsus.
Qjure: family against the world.
Prescription:
Verbascum thapsus C200.
Follow-upAfter taking it, he suffered severely from hay fever for two days, then nothing more, while his sisters now suffer every day. His behavior is now calmer, he handles the situation more lightheartedly, and it feels less difficult. He's less reserved with his father, and their relationship has improved. This surprises his parents; previously, communication was difficult. The allergies and headaches have been gone for years since then.

Stage 10 in
Qjure.
