Dear Friends, I have another homeopathic quiz for you to
find the correct remedy. 3 years girl got bee sting when played into her foot.
Nothing happened but next morning woke up with strong swelling of her foot that
was very hot and very red at the same time. She could not stand neither cold
nor warm application. Her mom gave Apis without effect. After giving the remedy
after 3 hours the swelling almost diminished and redness and heat also. The
child is almost normal after remedy which was only in 30c as mother could not
get higher potency in her country so quickly. What is the remedy?
Let’s see the case!
As the bee sting
happened at the evening and then she went to sleep, we do not have exact
information how quickly it developed as she was sleeping, but in the morning it
was terrible. I put myself 2 questions during the case analysis: 1) is this
slow reaction, quick reaction or normal reaction? Answer is: we don’t know as
mother said to me that she had some redness and pain as it is normal
(immediately after the bee) but it was nothing compared to morning state. She
said: nothing happened immediately after the bee sting, which means: nothing
serious had happened after the bee sting. But we don’t know exact phase of
night when it appeared as whole family was sleeping, so I could not take
anything as reliable information, so I put it aside. 2) These thoughts bring me
to question what is meant by sudden onset of symptoms. Does it mean that
symptoms will appear immediately after exposure to exciting cause or it means
that it can come later on but suddenly? In every case when the organism is
exposed to information or stimulus towards which is very sensitive, it means
that such information or stimulus find a suitable ground in the organism and
therefore is capable to affect it (positively or negatively). But organism not
always reacts instantly but starts to react when it understands the danger
coming from such stimulus. When somebody gets flu, the organism will not react
instantly but at the moment the bacteria or viruses will reach an amount that
the organism recognize as dangerous and then the defense mechanism start to
fight and creating symptoms. These symptoms will appear (after this incubation
period) suddenly (concerning the pace of developing and also intensity) or
slowly (more time, less intense). So according to my understanding when
somebody is exposed to dry cold wind and the next day (not at the moment of
exposure but one day after) all symptoms develop in very short time (suddenly)
that is indication for Aconite (no matter that between exciting cause and
symptoms was 12 hours). But in Bryonia it is different. In Bryonia symptoms can
start to appear the next day also but it takes another 2 or 3 days for organism
to develop full picture as the organism will developed it slowly. Does it make
sense to you?
It is hard to say what would have been happen if she got Hypericum instead of bell but I did not see any signs of Hypericum as red, heat
and swelling resembles Bell. Anyway there are always a more remedies that
possess a certain degree of similarity and we can say that more similar the
remedy is the more effect will have to the case BUT there is only one that will
touch the case really curative at the moment. That is why lot of people uses
for instance Thuja for clearing up the warts but that is not what the classical
homeopathy considers to be a real cure. Hope I clarified this subject to you.
