a bit more on Gossypium

[Joy Lucas]

Gossypium Herbaceum - well known for its action on the female generative
organs.

It is part of the Malvaceae family and Sankaran says of this family that the
story is all about separation and estrangement, the opposite is about being
together. There are dreams about pregnancy and birth. Gossypium is about
trying to become attached but there is a lot of discontent, brooding and
complaining.

As per the recent discussion it has been used to procure abortions, i.e. it
is a powerful emmanagogue, so all the issues about getting pregnant, being
pregnant and not wanting to be pregnant abound. Infertility from
Endometriosis comes within its action as well as miscarriage and cancer of
the generative organs.

Best wishes, Joy

Dear Joy,
I've been reading in Murphy's MM that this remedy can be used for
morning sickness and also for retained placenta.
As morning sickness is usually an early pregnancy issue, does the
potencised remedy carry any risks for inducing an unwanted abortion? The
pain symptom picture appears very specific so I realize that you
wouldn't use it unless everything matched . but is it a remedy to
consider or is it better to use another remedy to be safe considering
the emmenagogue properties (which I'm thinking would be strongest in a
herbal formula anyway so do they come across in the potencised remedy?).
You've given some nice mental symptoms to note into my books.
Wondering .
Jayne
PS Now I see in Boericke it says "emmenagogue in physiological doses"

Can anyone name some other remedies from the family of Malvaceae? I find
mention of hibiscus, okra, baobab, balsa, and cocoa (so chocolate would be
one???). Sounds like an interesting family!!!

Dear Jayne, I think you have answered your own question however I think you
could imagine a possible outcome if this remedy was prescribed unwisely and
with huge potentised doses - just like any other remedy.

Dear Shannon, yes chocolate is one, plus also Abroma augusta; Abelmoschus;
Kola nut; Tilia cordata and Tilia europaea - this is because the Malva
family now include the Tilias and Sterculiaceae families.

Thanks, Andy!
And nearly all of these are completely unfamiliar to me! But that theme of
"separation and estrangement" interests me. I have some info on chocolate,
but if anyone has interesting info on the mentals of any of these, I'd be
very eager to hear!

Best,
Shannon
