Lac equinum
Year 2026, Issue 3, Article 5CaseAuthor: Tomas Vyboch
A 57-year-old woman suffers from chronic back pain and tetany. Her muscles often stiffen; she feels trembling and tingling in her limbs, and walking even twenty minutes is exhausting. Doctors say it is caused by degenerative changes in her spinal discs. She works as a caregiver in Austria, a job she finds emotionally draining. The elderly people she cares for can be demanding, aggressive, or insulting, and she feels powerless to defend herself. She absorbs their emotions “like a sponge” and cannot protect herself from their negativity.
She describes herself as highly sensitive and empathetic, overanalyzing everything until exhaustion. She has a strong need to understand why people behave the way they do and is interested in psychology. She enjoys the company of intelligent and kind people and meaningful conversations. She says she cannot build a protective wall — everything others feel goes straight through her. When someone hurts her, she freezes, blames herself, and wonders what she did wrong.
Since childhood, she has felt responsible for others. As the eldest of three, she acted like a second mother to her sisters. Her own mother was strict and critical, never showing affection, while her father was kind and supportive. She preferred spending time with him, helping with tools in the barn rather than staying in the kitchen with her mother. She learned to hide her pain and appear strong, never showing weakness. This pattern continued into adulthood — she endures, stays silent, and suppresses emotions until she feels drained.
She feels alone, tired of caring for others, and unable to express her own needs. She longs for understanding and emotional protection but instead feels limited, sad, and powerless.
She loves animals, especially dogs and cats, as well as wildflowers and roses. She rates her current quality of life at 50 percent.AnalysisAnimal kingdom: She likes animals and spoke spontaneously about how her clients in the nursing home treat her.
Carbon series: She feels she cannot defend herself. She acted like a second mother to her sisters. Her mother never showed affection. She cannot build a protective wall — everything goes through her. She cannot react when someone insults her.
Lanthanide: She is interested in psychology. She wants to understand things deeply.
Lac equinum: She shows typical traits of Lac equinum: life is seen as a sacrifice, with little room for pleasure or joy. While in most milks the central theme is the mother, in Lac equinum it revolves around the father. The life of Lac equinum is devoted to duty and self-sacrifice. There is a strong sense of service to others. Anger is forbidden — it must be suppressed and controlled. The person pushes themselves relentlessly, both mentally and physically. They often cannot stop and will do everything expected of them until they collapse. No matter how much they do, it never feels like enough.
She felt the worst when she came home from work. I had the impression she was at Stage 8. Based on the above characteristics, I would assign Lac equinum, Stage 8. This was confirmed with two other cases. It is also known that horses are prone to tetanus, and the Tetanus nosode was assigned by Louis Klein to Stage 8.Reaction
Within a month, she felt much better. The pain decreased significantly. Her migraines improved by about 70 percent. After a few months, she realized she had been depressed. She says her life has improved by around 100 percent.
