Year 2026, Issue 1, Article 5CaseAuthor: Alex Leupen
Anja is a 55-year-old woman with pre-diabetes; she is recovering from burnout. A common problem: within her organization a reorganization is going on, leading to chaos and extra workload. Her recovery is now hampered by a piriformis syndrome. When walking she gets a severe pain in her left buttock, radiating to the back of that leg. Also sitting for a long time aggravates the pain, sometimes she has tingling in her leg. During the reorganization she felt unheard and overrun by management.AnalysisTheme Gnaphalium according to Jan Scholten: sciatica with tingling in women who feel overrun, can be within a marriage or within an organization. The Composites in general can be compared in terms of homeopathic image with the Lanthanides, often we see a threat to their autonomy in the story. They want to remain in control themselves, this is often compromised in reorganizations. Follow upAfter Gnaphalium 30K, 2 granules per week, rapid recovery from this long-standing complaint for months. Gnaphalium is the sister of edelweiss and, like Arnica and Bellis perennis, belongs to the Composite family.
