What are the BONES for in the body? For Stability. What is particularly interesting about this theme, is how well-known Symphytum is for its affinity for the Bones. Fear of falling when walking (stability is a requirement for walking, the fear of losing stability can be seen here, as a basic function of the healthy person) Fear of becoming unfit for work (Cean is the only other remedy here) Fear something will happen (3 value symptom) Warmth ameliorates (air, bed, bathing, wraps) (warmth of the family unit, basic stability – this is an example of the use of a general physical expression to represent an emotional one, as I did with Ledum) Aversion to quarrelling (desire for peace) What other rubrics support this as a core feature of the state? ‘Instability’ is a loss of resistance which can result in catastrophic failure. It is resistance to change, calmness without ups and downs, well-thought out decisions. What is ‘Stability’ – the strength to stand firm, to endure, to come back to your original condition after being disturbed. * Desire for Stability (Both a Single Symptom and a 3 value symptom, a powerful keynote directly connected to the core of the remedy) The single most important rubric in that list is: This collection of rubrics, when put together and compared to other remedies, may resemble Lycopodium, Carcinosinum, or Natrum-silicatum.

What struck me about studying the rubrics of Symphytum, was how many symptoms there are in the repertory that had nothing to do with broken or fractured bones.

What I found particularly interesting about Symphytum was that its main ‘first aid’ use directly ties into its mental state. As another Trauma remedy, one might expect that its utility would extend more deeply and more broadly, just as I have discovered the other ‘Injury’ remedies can. Symphytum officinale is another remedy which is extremely well known amongst our medicines, but for an extremely narrow number of situations.
