Phytolacca: Emotional Fatigue & Glandular Agony
Homeopathy & You|May 2017

Individuals who represent the homeopathic Phytolacca Decandra personality tend to fall ill often. They also typically present with a host of emotional issues — with the seat of their health problems residing in the glands.

Dr Mukesh Batra
Phytolacca: Emotional Fatigue & Glandular Agony

The homeopathic remedy, Phytolacca Decandra, is made from pokeroot, a plant native to America. The plant has a characteristic appearance, with a bulky and plump, whitish taproot. The stem of the plant is hollow — it has a green, or crimson, shade to it. The leaves are large, yet simple in their appearance.

Pokeroot bears white flowers, although the colour of its fruits, or berries, may range from purple to almost black.

The fruit of the pokeroot plant is a first-rate source of food for perching birds, while the plant and its botanical accessories are evidenced to be poisonous for human beings and livestock. You’d call this a classical case of one bird’s food being another’s bane. Not only that. Pokeroot is despised by farmers, even though the plant has had a venerable reputation in medicine.

Individuals who correspond to the homeopathic Phytolacca personality tend to fall ill often. They also present with a host of emotional issues, viz., irritability and fatigue, followed by weepy spells. Their physical symptoms reach the crescendo, more so when their mounting weakness expands, lock, stock and barrel — this condition is represented with a clear slide in vitality and lucidity of thoughts, and highlighted by bad breath, or halitosis.

GLANDULAR AFFINITY

Phytolacca has a strong correlation for the glands. It has a notable clinical reputation in mastitis, or inflammation of the breasts — the key symptoms, or signs, being rigidity, flaming, and hurting in the breasts that branch out through the whole body, especially when the mother breast-feeds her child.
