This case is of a homeopath that attended the seminar where we did the proving of
Samarium oxydatum. She felt so well from the proving that she took the remedy later on also as a therapeutic remedy. The story below is her experience as written by her.
"I felt very well and quiet after the proving of
Samarium oxydatum. Three months later I became pregnant. After a few weeks I got influenza. After that I became nauseous, which was ameliorated by eating a lot of spicy and heavy food, especially spicy Chinese food. As long as my stomach was full it was better. As I couldn't think of another remedy I took
Samarium oxydatum. After half an hour, 90% of the nausea was gone and the rest disappeared in about two weeks. At the same period I had dreams of consoling people by holding them tight. Very physical, but only consolation came out of me, nothing sexual. In one dream it was a football player that had done something wrong in the field and the public reproached him. I lay down with him on the field publicly, but I thought “let them watch and think what they like, it doesn't bother me”.
The next months all went very well. Only my craving for Chinese food had switched into an aversion. I also got an aversion to meat. When the nausea returned a little after a few months I took
Samarium oxydatum again. Immediately my nausea and aversion to meat were gone.
Things that have changedMy blood pressure changed to 70 diastolic, whereas it was always 85 to 90 in my former pregnancy and the beginning of this one. I feel that the pressure is gone, I don’t have to do everything well or be perfect.
In the past I had an enormous pressure in my throat, as if the energies just weren't flowing, and this was not changing from relaxation exercises; it felt like a real blockage between my head and the rest of my body. Now this is a lot better.
I have very few headaches anymore. In the past I got headaches when I was worn out, better from pressure and lying on the painful side.
The quality of my sleep has improved enormously. My sleep is deeper and I need less. I'm very energetic, even if I have to get up several times in the night for my daughter.
My restless legs are much better. This had already been helped with Mercurius. I had salivation in the night. It was gone after Mercurius, but came back after
Samarium oxydatum for a while, to disappear gradually. I had pain and stiffness in my pelvis after heavy housework. Now this is gone as well.
All my life I’ve been surrounded by “Lycopodiums”. I was dominated and I had to fight and learn to stand up for myself. In general I‘ve always been very happy with what homeopathy has done for me personally. But what
Samarium oxydatum does beats everything. I’ve never been able to imagine that it’s possible to feel so good, quiet and strong. I thought I felt good already. This development makes this pregnancy extra special."
