Hair pulling

[medorrus]

May be seeing a client whose daughter is 10yo and has a habit of
pulling out her eyelashes and -eyebrows!?!-. Anything that comes to
mind for a search will be helpful. She most severly does this action
when with a cold accompanied with fever, although this pulling is
ongoing. Thanks Medo

possible rubric from RADAR/Synthesis 8.0
mind, pulling, hair
& sub-rubric desire to pull her own hair

In Encyclopedia Homeopathica, I find that Jonathon Shore gives a case
(Seminar Hapert, April 1991) of Conium & one of Nux; both cases are adults
who mentioned the picking of eyebrow/eyelash as children. This seminar
transcript is great reading!

food for thought:

Kent/Synthetic also has TEARS things, her hair = bell; lil-tig; tarent. And
then there is JEALOUSY, tearing the hair = Lach. Also MANIA, tearing own
hair = bell; canth; stram; tarent; verat. Good luck.

Best wishes, Joy Lucas
