Everyone feels grief. What is grief? It has been described as,
- Deep mental anguish, as that arising from bereavement.
- A source of deep mental anguish.
- Annoyance or frustration
- Trouble or difficulty
- Archaic. A grievance.
The main remedies for grief are Aurum met, Carcinosinum, Causticum, Ignatia, Lachesis, Natrum Mur, Nux Vomica, Phosphoric Acid, Phosphorus and Staphysagria.
Mention must be made here that for real changes in ailments from ill effects of grief, the remedies have to be taken in the 1 M and 10 M potencies. Lower than that, the cure will be temporary and fleeting.
Care must be taken when administering the higher potencies. Do so only after you have a reasonably thorough grasp of the subject, gained after extensive reading. If the wrong remedy has been administered, antidote it immediately. otherwise high potencies are capable of doing harm in some cases. Remember that the antidote can be given in the 6C or even 6X potencies, which are totally harmless. That is the beauty of homoeopathy.
I have mentioned the main remedies grief earlier in this article. Now let me draw their drug pictures. All you have to do is to find which drug picture matches the disease picture and administer that remedy.
AURUM METALLICUM - Aur is a syphilitic (miasm) remedy. the person likes to hear devotional songs. he is a person who takes responsibilities seriously. They feel great depression. they may be suicidal. Likes to think of suicide, which makes him feel good. His favourite mode of committing suicide is jumping from a height or by driving his car dangerously. he feels better in the evening and lousy at night.
CARCINOSINUM - this is THE remedy for grief. It is indispensable in cases of abuse of children, for patients who have suffered from domination by others for a long time. Children with strict parents. Women who have been sexually abused or are victims of rape. Carc folks are very sensitive. They suffer in silence. They are fond of animals. They love thunderstorms. They feel worse between 1 PM and 6 PM in the afternoon and 3 AM to 6 AM in early morning. They have a history of cancer in the family.
CAUSTICUM - They hate seeing anyone suffering from injustice and will fight it. They are intense, idealistic people. They have a history of repeated griefs. They have a fear that something bad will happen.
IGNATIA - is the remedy for grief in the short term. Promotion refused. Failure in an examination. A lover ditches you. And you are filled with grief. That is when Ignatia will work wonders. Very sensitive. But when grief turns chronic, Natrum Mur will be required. Ignatia and Nat M are complementary.
LACHESIS - are very passionate people, sexually and otherwise. when opposed they will strike back with venom (like a snake). They are very talkative at times. They feel lousy after sleep. Their mental power peaks at night. They are very unsure about themselves in the afternoon. They have difficulty swallowing food and drink and hate wearing anything tight around their throat. (They hate ties!)
NATRUM MUR - is the main remedy for chronic grief. It is similar to Carc in the sense that both love salt, both have a history of domination by others, both have low confidence, both are aggravated by heat. The distinguishing factor between the two is
-- Carc aggravation is 1 PM to 6 PM. Nat M time is 10 AM.
-- Carc loves thunderstorms.
-- Carc loves animals
-- Carc has a history of cancer in the family
Make no mistake Nat M is a formidable drug to cure chronic grief (perhaps the only one at times).
NUX VOMICA - Are go-getters. they are ruthless ambitious people. very driven, that is why they take drugs, smoke, drink and sexually active. These spur them on. The Nux grief occurs when things don't go the way they want it go. That is when they shout at people, throw files at subordinates and generally feel miserable themselves.
PHOSPHORIC ACID - the grief manifests itself here as inactivity and loss of energy. The patient is listless and apathetic and feels nothing. He may have diarrhoea which does NOT weaken him. They find joy in nothing and lie listlessly before the TV set for hours.
PHOSPHORUS - Phos folks are extroverts and love the company of people. They are sensitive and sympathetic. They hate to be alone. The grief comes in when things go wrong. They change. The love of people's company disappears. They start to like to stay alone. The zest goes out of life. Phos loves salt.
STAPHYSAGRIA - These people have been insulted and mortified for along time, so they have low self confidence. Insults play havoc with them. The low confidence does not allow them to retaliate. They are timid and shy. They have a hard time finding a sexual partner. Which is hell for them as they are very sexual. In the absence of a sexual partner they masturbate a lot.
