Layers and concussion amel.

[Mary-anne Black]

Hello David et al,
Hmmm... that is a good clue to remember; And it makes sense to me that a
person would get worse as the burden of their symptoms is increased.
You know, this discussion brings to mind a rubric in the repertory that I've
been puzzling about, and that perhaps yourself or anyone else following this
post can shed some light on:

GENERALS/ Injuries/ concussions/ amel.: Helleborous

This rubric is in my Synthesis repertory and it lists as a reference: Boger
C.M., Boenninghausen's Characteristics and Repertory (2nd edition).
I don't have this repertory although perhaps it won't give me any other clue
as to in what context a concussion can amel.. Maybe someone else that has
this rep. or know its source wants to check?
Does the rubric mean exactly what might have happened in the woman's case;
That a blow/ concussion to the head provided a general amelioration of the
person's (the one that Boenninghausen's Rep. is referring to?) symptoms?
Or, when someone is in a Helleborous state and are manifesting symptoms,
that they (or their head pain)feel better banging their head hard enough to
produce a concussion?
I noticed that in Phatak's materia medica under head it lists "strikes the
head" but it doesn't discuss any amelioration.
Not in H.'s M.M. Pura either, that I can see.
All she said was that she just started getting these physical symptoms (ie.
bruising, and low thyroid type of symptoms; Although, she behaves much more
hyper- to me than hypo-) in February and emotional ones as well; Sounded
like the amelioration carried on until then. Well, if I ever get a chance
to help her, I'll certainly ask her what happened in February.

Would also be important for me to find out any changes mentally emotionally
since the accident. She did say though that after the accident and after
the amelioration of her physical symptoms that she realized how important a
role the mind plays in wellness. And she felt then that she would never be
sick again.

As you say, was she better mentally/ emotionally after the accident? Don't
know. I do know that something is bothering her now though, she is very
angry that she can't figure out why or what is wrong with her. She speaks
very angrily and impatiently about it...
Yes, it is speculation. However, by your comments I've learned some more
ways to look for clues with which to analyse the symptoms!
Thanks again!

Namaste,
Mary-anne

On page 1111 of the said book I found, under the chapter

Concussion, see Shaking.
page 1140
Shaking, shock, ( Compare stepping hard, driving, riding stc)

Thanks to your post I was prompted to look further and also found it in
in Synthesis under GENERALS/ Jar/ amel.
However it was not listed under GEN/ Riding/ horseback amel. or GEN/ Riding/
car, in a/ amel.
Thanks for looking this up for me!
