Natrium carbonicum CaseA woman of 35 has agoraphobia. She is very tense, it gets worse at the end of the day and she does not dare to go home. The complaints started two years ago. She was head of a nursery school, which was going to be joined to a primary school. The head of the primary school was not very good, but he was still made head of the joint school, because he was a man. This stunned her and she felt very unappreciated.
She is an easygoing, open type of person. She has no relationships, she wants to remain free. I had given her Nat-c, because of her local complaints and the keynotes: < mental exertion, desire for sweet, < sun, < draught, headache before menses and constipation. A little to my surprise, Nat-c worked excellently. It was not until after the discovery of the theme, according to the group analysis, that I realised why it had worked so well. There was a theme of not being appreciated. She felt unacknowledged in her work, and she had to bear that on her own.
