heavy

Lyc
Hands and feet are cold and there is a general want of bodily heat; a
symptom on which particular stress has been laid by Dr. Farrington, is the
coldness of one foot and the warmth and heat of the other
CLarke, J.H. Dictionary of Practical MM
Lyc
want of vital heat
Dewey, W.A. Essentials of MM
What is the general sphere of action of lycopodium?
It is especially adapted to ailments gradually developing; functional
power weakened with failure of the digestive power; and where the function
of the liver is seriously disturbed.
Urinary disturbances are marked.
Give four general characteristics of lycopodium
1. Aggravation from 4 to 8 P.M.
2. Great aggravation from cold.
3. Complaints go from right to left.
4. Offensiveness of discharges, and heavy, red sediment in urine
Dunham Lectures on MM
Lyc
After eating and after slight cold, violent stomach pains with chilliness,
the fingers becoming waxy white, as if dead.
Feet cold, with cold sweat, which makes them sore
Gibson, D. M. Studies of Homeopathic Remedies
A definitely chilly individual, hates the cold and feels paralysed thereby
in both mind and muscle, but also tends to flag in great heat, which
embarrasses the not too active circulation.
May perspire on quite slight exertion - a cold clammy sweat with odour of
onion
Generally symptoms are aggravated by impact of cold air, by taking cold food
or drink, in a stuffy hot atmosphere
Hahnemann Chronic Diseases
Antisporics
Lyc.
Cold hands, continually.

internally, and as if the blood gradually ceased to be warm.
- Epileptic attack : The muscles on the whole of the right lower limb
twitched visibly, the scrobiculus cordis was affected, he commenced to
scream without consciousness, foaming at the mouth, he beat about him with
arms and legs, for a quarter of an hour; then he lay motionless for one-half
hour; and when cold water was given him in his mouth he blew it out, and his
senses returned.
- Trembling, without sensation of cold, in the afternoon.
- Hands and feet seem quite dead from cold
==========================
So, it is from information along these lines that I formed the idea of Lyc
as a CHILLY person, wanting of vital heat. I haven't yet seen a "warm" or
"hot" Lyc.
In terms of MODALITIES, Lyc does have aggr/amel from both hot AND cold in
various circumstances.
