Understanding Lycopodium clav.

Dr. Claudio C. Araujo M.D., F.F.Hom. (Lon.) et al.

The symptoms provided by the provers allow us to know the Lycopodium child. He is described to us as a restless, irritated child who screams, gets scared and wakes up terrified during his sleep. She rolls from side to side on the bed, terrified due to nightmares.

Baby Lyc cries day and night.

He's not comfortable in any position, he wants to be held all the time.

She kicks and scratches anyone who approaches her, she is irritated, in a bad mood, disobedient, wants to remain quiet, without listening to anyone.

Her dream is full of fantasies; She often wakes up at 4AM, struggling, rolling her head from side to side, she wants to scream but can't, as if she were immersed in a nightmare.

A child who appears to be sleeping well, but suddenly screams with his eyes open and fixed in some direction and nothing can calm him down.

Anthropophobia (in children); fear of phantoms in evening, with anguish.

In the evening on entering a room he is attacked with fear, as though he saw some one; even during the day he believes that he hears some one in the room,

Horrible dream; some one wishes to kill him,

If people come near her, she is immediately attacked with anxiety at the pit of the

stomach, In the search for understanding who the Lycopodium patient is, we are starting from this point: Children who are terrified of people and ghosts. Our hypothesis is that Lycopodium has, as its first contact with reality, an immense fear of the people around it. Children “strange” their grandparents, their uncles, in short, only accept their parents.

They don't go on anyone's lap, at the first parties they stay on anyone's lap the whole time, they don't communicate. And something that happens underneath his fear is the fact that he doesn't believe he can face the people he's so afraid of. Loss of confidence in his own vigor, [1]. This would then be the initial combination, which Lyc will carry throughout his life: His immense fear of others, associated with a feeling of lack of vigor. The following symptoms will all result from this primal sensation. Distrustful, suspicious, slow, [1]. Extremely suspicious and distrustful, [1]. Dread: of men (…) Misanthropic; flies even from his own children.

She flees from her own children, [1].

If people come near her, she is immediately attacked with anxiety at the pit of the

her stomach,

This is the way Lyc should act towards people. He cannot trust them, he is afraid of them, he is afraid.

We now have a child who perceives the world in this way: Strange people are too frightening, ghosts are nearby and he perceives himself as not having enough strength to face what is plaguing him.

How is Lyc feeling at this moment, since he is scared, terrified of people and feels powerless to face them?

Want of self-confidence; indecision; shyness; resignation.

Indecision and loss of confidence.

He is unable to do anything, he cannot think; he passes his time with trifles, without being able to make up his mind what to do,

Over sensitivity to pain; patient is beside himself.

He is easily frightened and starts up,

Great fearfulness,

Very fearful all day

She dreads to be alone,

He cries and howls, at first about past and then about future troubles,

Melancholy: he has doubts about her salvation; before catamenia; in child characters.

Great tendency to start; he feels frightened at everything, even ringing of door bell.

Anxious dreams; in a fright he hid himself away from danger,

Frightful dreams and fright, even after waking,

What would be your survival strategies then?

What would he have to try to establish himself in the world?

Special aptitude for mental work.

A piece of music I once heard came so vividly before the mind that I could almost hear it.

Lyc discovers intellectual life, the mental strength that exists in all of us, our ability to reason. This will be his strategy to face everything and, above all, everyone: to be an intellectual, a good student, develop his mental capacity and finally, like the Wizard of Oz, control those who threaten him so much.

He mentally quarrels with absent persons,

Quarrelsome rage, partly at herself, partly at others,

As if out of her mind, she seeks quarrels, makes unfounded reproaches, is most exceedingly violent, and strikes those whom she thus insults.

Haughty, reproachful and overbearing.

Her answers are quick, anxious and tremulous; traveling; imperiousness; she speaks with an air of command; stiff and pretentious manner; she strikes her attendant and grows angry; she scolds much and violently at imaginary persons, or laughs and cries alternately, or is exceedingly hilarious.

Delirious, raging, envious, reproachful, presumptuous, and imperious

Sensitive, irritable disposition; peevish and cross on getting awake; easily excited to anger; she cannot stiffen slightest opposition, and she is speedily beside herself.

Obstinate, defiant, arbitrary; she seeks disputes. Indifferent, taciturn; insensitivity to external impressions.

Indifference to external impressions, with irritable mood.

Exceedingly indifferent.

Insensitivity of mind to external impressions.

Lyc. He is now a person who faces everyone, from the place in society that he conquered with so much effort and from that place he controls, threatens, accuses, fights, shouts.

But he knows that he himself is a rootless construction.

There is a dream of pathogenesis that seemed to us to be Lyc's consciousness. He knows that this Persona has no roots, no solid foundations:

Dreams: (…) frightful, frequently awakening him; horrible; of sickness; moving, etc.; of trees growing on fences without ground beneath them; of people drowning, boats capsizing etc.

Lyc. created a figure of apparent importance, but he is known to be an almost “imposter”. Because now he will: tremble before exams, panic before speaking in public or before a job interview. He knows all the material for the test, but the previous week is still a week of tonsillitis, coughs, stomach pains, diarrhea, etc.

This does not appear in pathogenesis, but it is very common in the clinic of all homeopaths.

In Lyc this appears when he exposes himself to others. He will stand before those he fears so much. He will put at risk, in assessment, his entire survival strategy: the good student, the serious, imposing figure, with authoritative and incisive speech, who in this way hides his fear from others.

He cannot appear fragile, he has to maintain his place of importance in order to continue to be protected from others by his position in society.

But this strategy, over the years, takes an immense toll on Lyc. There are dozens of symptoms in pathogenesis that tell us about the general and physical consequences for Lyc of all this survival effort:

These will be his intellectual changes, his memory and his mental confusion, which are precisely the human qualities on which he relied to be able to face existence, to face the fears that first appeared in his childhood. Nervous action weakened; threatens softening of brain from overwork, (…)

Vanishing of thoughts.

Weak memory, old people are very forgetful.

Uses wrong words for correct ideas; uses wrong syllables; makes mistakes in writing; spells words wrong; mixes up letters and syllables, or omits parts of words.

Cannot read, because meaning of certain letters is not clear; makes mistakes in speaking, because he cannot get right word; when subject is very important, words are correctly chosen. θ Indigestion.

Thoughts confused, unable to fix them; difficult to find fitting words.

Mental torpor and weakness; slow of comprehension; dullness to imbecility.

Disinclined to mental work, distracted, without connected thought (second day).

Disinclined to think; dullness of power of thought, [9a].

Disinclined to work or think in the afternoon (third day), [9c].

Frequently distracted in mind for a moment during earnest conversation soon after dinner; I was unable to pay proper attention to what was said, and was obliged to give way to thoughts which forced themselves upon me (third day), [10].

Confusion of ideas while reading; is unable to rightly comprehend or associate thoughts (third day), [9c].

We could also include dozens of other symptoms here that tell us about the immense wear and tear that patient Lyc will suffer throughout his life and which is now appearing in the form of an intellectual impossibility in maintaining the role he has always played as a survival strategy.

Summarizing our study, we could then, hypothetically, state that the Lycopodium process takes place in the following stages:

1. His change in perception of initial reality: his fear of people associated with a impression of a lack of vigor, of vitality to face them.

2. Lycopodium is now a haunted, fragile, frightened and cowed being in the face of the reality that surrounds him.

3. Then establish a survival strategy: you will hypertrophy your intellectual functions, your academic results, as a way of standing out and protecting yourself among others.

4. You will always be under threat of being discovered. With each test, each time he has to expose himself to others, each time he has to impose himself physically. These moments put your entire survival strategy at risk.

5. He becomes a dictator, a tyrant, he speaks with an imperious voice. Extremely irritated, impatient, moody.

6. Intellectual functions: overused and abused, collapse.
