Apart from physical and general symptoms, one main symptom was extreme restlessness and inability to sleep. Following expressions led to prescribing this carnivorous plant:

The patient described a feeling like energy is closing:

“Defense building, nothing flows outside. I imagine the chakras closing, everything is closing.  Attention, alertness, tension. Between flight and attack. Or to be inside and not outside.

And the feeling to be inside is like being helpless. You can’t know what happens to you.

Space is limited. Stagnation. Gluey, sticky…water becomes thick.

Looking from outside it seems to be normal and harmonious, but inside is lack of contact. Contact is just on the outside and inside it is hollow. You are lost in that.”

We needed three consultations to find this perfect remedy (the pitcher plant) which helped on all levels and especially with the enormous inner stress she lived with, even though the second remedy chosen (another carnivorous plant) was already creating a lot of improvement, giving much more inner relaxation and confidence.

I treated my own horse, which was one of the best things I ever did (next to treating myself and many others) and which changed all my basic feelings around riding him. Apart from having helped horses with different remedies for injuries, mud fever and laminitis, here I treated a general state which kept us both kind of unhappy for long time. Riding out with him alone had hardly ever been a genuine joy because he was so fearful of every little thing and was very jumpy, startling and freezing on the sight of anything strange for him, which could be a bird, a sheep, a car or just a ghost somewhere. He became excited, hurried and tense and a bit unpredictable. Because he is a big strong horse this became a source of insecurity.

After giving him Aconite, a remedy for acute fright with fear of death, suddenness, violence and tension, he changed to a horse with whom it is pure joy to ride. He kept his forwardness and sensitivity but is now able to enjoy being out, looking around and having fun.

A young boy came with nightmares of zombies which were coming out every night out of his cupboard to touch him. He was scared to death and had to wake up his parents every night to sleep in their bed. He was extremely confident during day time and extremely fearful at night. These polarities, his specific delusions and all other physical and general symptoms brought us to the remedy after having two consultations.

Stramonium is a plant which was used in the medieval to bring upon a state on a victim which left them without consciousness and slowed them down in a way that they were considered dead and buried alive. After a few hours they were taken out of their grave again and now – with lack of identity sold as slaves.

His nightmares stopped immediately after the remedy, he was more balanced and peaceful and the whole family profited from his ability to sleep and being more confident and in harmony within himself.
