Trifolium pratense
Year 2025, Issue 8, Article 5CaseAuthor: Jan Scholten
Woman, 40, eczemaA scrawny but tall woman born in 1963 consulted me because of her complaints that had worsened since her last pregnancy two years ago. But for a long time she had not been well.Medical history
Always eczema in bends of joints.
Hay fever since age eleven.
Urticaria after running (once or twice).
Oral anti contraceptives made her depressive: she ‘lost many boyfriends because of this’.Complaints in the past two years.Allergy attacks: she then shakes in her bed, and later on she has pain in her right thigh.
Leucorrhoea and red labiae < coition.
Cystitis 7 times: pain urethra, bladder in right side. Frequent urination.
Eczema back of hand; pimples neck.
Sinusitis frontalis.
Extremely tired.
Vertigo < coffee.
All complaints ameliorate when she doesn’t eat gluten, milk products, colouring-matter and yeast.GeneralsTemperature: cold.
Aversion: fat meat(3).
Desire: bread, fish, vegetarian food.
Defecation: diarrhoea < stress > diet.
Hair: dandruff.
Skin: echymosis. Aversion to wool. Yellow complexion.
Dreams: of journeys, that go wrong: the road is difficult to find or the car cannot be found; the airplane crashes, the road is too narrow or covered with too much snow.MindA quiet and insecure woman sits opposite me. But one senses more spirit inside her.
She was born in a village and had a nice youth although father was an alcoholic. He couldn’t cope with his job, and had to drink to release stress. He was never aggressive to his children. I understand he was a bit of a coward, afraid of fire and breaking his neck (!). After he stopped working, he could stop his drinking habits also. Mother was a beautiful woman in appearance (funny she should mention this), and would sow to earn some extra money. Mother worried too much.
Her elder sister is much stronger, taller and firmer then she is and looks healthy and florid: totally her opposite. This sister went to the university, attained her goals more easily and dominated her.
She was a timid girl, a bit slow and smiling at everybody. She wanted to be liked, and wanted to be friends with everyone. She went to a school (Jenaplan) where you had to work for yourself, determine your own tempo. She would have preferred more structure. And she disliked the obligatory group discussions. Later on she hated talking in public.
She liked to play inside, content with little things, a piece of paper for instance. She would keep to herself and still is an introvert type. She wasn’t brilliant in her studies. H.B.O. was too much for her, she preferred M.B.O. She studied ‘food processing’ and worked in a ‘healthy firm’ for some time. She loved natural things, natural therapy and nature. She liked music and played organ, some accordion and flute. She liked dancing and singing and playing tennis. She was quite precise, conscientious about trifles. Honesty was important, as well as respecting God.
She could also be obstinate and contrary at times. She fears riding a car. Like in her dreams she is afraid there will be no parking place, or will loose the way or that something unexpected will happen.
She now is married to an enthusiastic, extrovert man. They have three children, 5, 4 and 2 years of age. There are some problems with the in laws. Her father in law is a difficult man, who doesn’t like her. There has been an outburst, and now they have no contact at all. On one side she is happy with the obtained privacy, on the other hand there is some anger (pisnijdig) and regret, because it is important for her that other people like her.AnalysisIron series: desire structure; study food processing.
Phase 5: desire to be friends, with everyone.
Phase 2: timid girl; quiet, insecure, smiling at everybody; introvert.
Stage 12: anger at father in law.After the remedyIn the second consult, after seven weeks, she looks much better.
At first weariness and eruptions aggravated. But all has ameliorated since: no cystitis or sinusitis, no leucorroe and less irritation of the labiae, no allergy attacks. The energy level has improved, but started deteriorating since a few days so I repeated the remedy.
