666.47.12 Artemisia dracunculus, CaseWoman, 42, palpitations.
Her heart beats a few times very fast and then skips one beat. She becomes nauseous with it and is completely out of order. Sometimes she has a strange feeling in her chest. It is better lying down on her right side. Her general practitioner has diagnosed the complaints as hyperventilation and prescribed Valium but that is of no help.
It has started after an influenza that she had for 2 to 3 weeks. She had fever, frontal headache with frontal sinusitis, tingling of her hands and weeping. All complaints were worse from 1 to 3 am.
The problems started after problems with her neighbours. She herself is married to a Greek and the neighbours hate foreigners. She had the feeling that they were watching her constantly. Once they had done something to her child, something with sex but he is too young to find out exactly what they did. She went to the police to accuse them but the police did not do anything with her charge, as the neighbour himself is a policeman. The neighbours lie and cheat and even charged her with a lawsuit and started to trouble her daughter. So she did not dare to leave her kids alone anymore and held them inside the house. She even went to the judge for the police but he also did not believe her or do anything for her. The whole situation makes her feel powerless, as if she gets broke. She decides to move. She tells her story with a dual expression, on one hand serious, on the other hand laughing.
Weather: chilly, cold hands.
AnalysisThe complaints started after a high fever and frontal sinusitis. This strongly indicates the
Asteraceae.
The themes of suspicion and sabotage indicate the subfamily of the
Artemiseae. The known
Artemiseae like Absinthium, Abrotanum,
Artemisia vulgaris and Cina do not fit very well so another was chosen
Artemisia dracunculus.
The case helped to understand the remedy
Artemisia dracunculus.
Follow upAfter
Artemisia dracunculus MK she gets a coryza,which she never had for years. Then she feels much better and the palpitations are almost gone. Two weeks afterwards they come back a little and a repetition of the remedy helps her again. But she also feels much better in her mind. Her thoughts are not so much directed to her neighbours anymore. She can concentrate much better on her work. Unfortunately it is impossible for her to move within a year but that does not bother her so much anymore.
