Just to add to this (and I never found the mutilate rubric, thanks, Joy) I have (or had) trichotillomania, in my case it was pulling out eyelashes, from roughly ages 13 to 60. Believe me, it's an almost impossible to resist compulsion. As a student, I took a dose of Nat Mur 30C for some other reason. Before the pills were dissolved in my mouth (didn't know about Organon 6 then) the compulsion disappeared - after 47 years, you know when the monkey gets off your back - and never returned. Blew me away.

Trich includes a big shame component; many people with it will deny it in spite of all evidence to the contrary, so it makes sense that the person would not want to talk about it. I've also read about the eating hair thing (ugh!) which can can lead to incredibly horrible health problems. Glad I missed that part.

I have a case of a 13 yo girl with the pulling out of eyelashes and eyebrows. Lilium Tig stopped it in its tracks however, she's at 50M and it's not sticking. Just read Bacillinum has trich as part of its indications so we are trying that to see if the Lil-Tig will stick afterwards. (Thought Tub was the indicated nosode before I read that.) Lil-T seems to fit her very well in every way and it has also helped with a math learning issue. However, Nat Mur has been well used in the entire family so I will keep that in mind. Thank you for sharing.
