REMEDY NAME:LACHESIS

Lachesis is a snake remedy prepared from the venom of the South American bush
master, and in its miasmatic range, the remedy falls between sycosis and
syphilis. It has the qualities of competitiveness, aggressiveness,
attractiveness and sexuality common to the animal remedies, as well as the
clairvoyance, deceit and venomous quality common to the snake remedies.
The specific problem of Lachesis seems to be the problem of jealousy, or how
to get the better of (be one-up on) a rival, especially in the situation of
male-female relationships or in the sphere of sexual relationships. It is the
situation of someone who has to compete against a person with better
qualities, as for example a menopausal woman whose husband has a young
girlfriend. She has the feeling of weakness within herself as she compares
herself to her younger and more attractive rival.
She feels that there are conspiracies against her and this makes her
suspicious of people around her. Her survival depends on her being one-up on
her rival, and she does this with clever, manipulative talk. With her
loquacity, she is able to attract and retain the attention of the listener;
she can be witty, sarcastic, loud, animated, vividly expressive, excited.
She observes the listener, judging all the time his interest level, and at
the correct moment unnoticed by the latter, she injects the venom that works
in him after he has left her presence. Her talk can be clairvoyant,
prophetic. She may tell of going into a trance or being under superhuman
control, or she may relate spiritual experiences or religious theories, all
this with enough doses of sexual suggestibility.
She becomes so engrossed with the competition, so for the time being, she has
to shut off from work ("Business, aversion to"). When her very best efforts
to compete fail she may turn religious, spiritual, and may feel that death is
near and that she should concentrate on spiritual things; she then starts
meditating. Hence the rubric: "Avoids company to indulge in her fancy."
Lachesis persons can be interested in the beauty of nature, in amusement, and
their speech can be magnetic. Advertising has a lot to do with Lachesis,
concerned as it is with jealousy and one-upmanship: it amuses, entertains and
catches attention, pushing its own product up while cleverly pushing other
products down, and quickly injects you with temptations for the product being
advertised. A lot of the entertainment industry also has to do with the
Lachesis theme and I have observed that Lachesis people often get into the
advertising or entertainment industries.
The main theme of Lachesis is show. The ideal situation that would best bring
out this feeling for a Lachesis patient would be a beauty contest. She would
try to beat the competition through any means.
