Find the remedy (125)

[Mary-anne Black]

Hello everyone,
In my e-mail to Ardavan re: Find the remedy #125, I said that I liken
my repertory to a map of a huge city. Every remedy is like
a street on the map. And that whenever I learn a new remedy, it's like
making forays into the city and becoming familiar with new territory.

I thought it would be a fun way of remembering the remedy if I carried the
analogy a little further. To that end, here is a description of what I think
the people of " ? " street, would be like:

(?/ remedy's name) is a quiet street, because the residents are all
SENSITIVE TO NOISE to the point that CONVULSIONS might result.
There is no corner store that sells MILK, as the residents are all the WORSE
for it and many get ABDOMINAL PAINS .
It does however have a corner coffee shop, because many on the street have
IRRESISTABLE CRAVINGS FOR COFFEE.
If you lived on this street, you'd have to be careful what you said to your
neighbours; They get OFFENDED EASILY and are NOT INTERESTED IN HEARING THE
'JOKE of the day'.
People who are trying to sell fitness club memberships would do well to give
this street a wide berth; Many of the residents get TEARING PAINS in the
bones of their arms and legs after the SLIGHTEST EXERTION (Similar to the
people who live on 'Ruta' street). Perhaps yoga would be better for these
residents because FLEXING AND EXTENDING their ARMS and LEGS do HELP the BONE
PAINS. Although, the sitting in yoga would be a problem; Many of the
residents have PALPITATIONS WHEN SITTING.
Hmmmm...perhaps a massage would be best after all, because many of their
bone pains are RELEIVED BY PRESSURE.
And perhaps the best appointment time would be around 3:00 pm, as many
usually feel out of sorts at this time.
Then again, a little bit of meditation would perhaps help many of them who
tend to become SUDDENLY ANXIOUS AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN LYING IN BED.
There are no tepid LUKEWARM BATHS taken on this street, it really does
BOTHER THEM so!
If you really want to do them a service, they'd be most grateful if you
offered them SOMETHING COLD (like a cloth) that they could apply to any
painful areas.
The children on this street never play outside barefoot; This is because
there are a lot of rusty nails and a few people on the street developed
LOCKJAW after getting puncture wounds from the nails (Quite a chilling sight
to see their faces so contorted with their LIPS DRAWN BACK SO THAT YOU COULD
EVEN SEE THEIR TEETH).

Interesting 'street'!
Hope you enjoyed the walk!
