Mammal general themes and classification - Homeopathy

• Ambra grisea • Lac caninum • Lac humanum • Lac defloratum • Lac leoninum • Lac felinum • Lac caprinum • Lac vaccinum ************************************************** The most common theme associated with the Lacs is around relationship and separation. • Separation from the mother for a shorter or longer duration or difficult childhood. • Separation from a partner, as in a case of divorce, a job far away like overseas or due to quarrels. • Separation from friends, change of school, country. *************************************************** Emotional turmoil in the mother during the period of lactation is another important theme. • Like history of unwanted pregnancy, unwanted sex of a child (boy, girl), or congenital deformities in a child. • Or because of some reason, either physical or emotional trauma to the mother, that the mother is unable to breast-feed the child anymore. ********************************************************** And once there is a feeling of separation this will cause in a child, or in the patient a severe forsaken feeling as well as a loss of confidence. ***************************************************** Another important theme that we see in Lac remedies is the theme associated with friends. ******************************************************** The person or the individual wants to remain in a group. When the individual is considered as an essential part of the group, he starts developing his own identity. But if due to some reason, the friends do not respond, then a weak personality develops, and the individual feels that nobody loves him. Then he becomes isolated from the group. This increases the feeling of inadequacy and low self-confidence. ********************************************************* Another important theme observed in Lac remedies is the idea involving falling down.

Two strong impulses have to do with aggression - sexuality and rage. ********************************************************** You will see the rage usually starts from some past experience such as mental or physical abuse, by a friend, a lover or a family member. ****************************************************** These past experiences create strong emotional complexes in the subconscious mind. When he comes across a similar incidence, then this aggression can become manifest very violently. ********************************************************** That is why in various Lac remedies you will see sudden violence, violence that is very strong, or that is out of proportion to the exciting stimuli. *********************************************************** Sex is an important theme. Having a sexual contact, or physical satisfaction with his partner not only provides a physical satisfaction, but also a sense of being one with the partner. This gives a feeling of warmth, security and a feeling of being accepted by the partner. But when this sexuality becomes very strong and gets out of control, then they become adulterous, amative, amorous, lascivious, lewd and libertinistic. ******************************************** They have to keep these impulses under control, which is why many people requiring Lac remedies, like Lac humanum, Lac caninum, Lac felinum, live what is called a promiscuous life. ********************************************* Once they start living this promiscuous life, they have a feeling of being dirty, of being morally very low, and this creates a great deal of guilt. I feel really, really bad about myself when I’m acting out like this! ********************************************************* In general, a feeling of antagonism with self is commonly found in many of our Lac remedies. MIND - ANTAGONISM antagonism - am I the baby, or am I the mother? Aversion or intolerance of milk is common to most of the Lac remedies in our materia medica. Many Lac remedies have a desire for salt. Aggravation before the menses is common to the Lac remedies - physically and emotionally. Many patients needing a Lac remedy will have a tendency towards having migraine headaches. Many Lac remedies tend to be very chilly.
