From the classic texts
“Weak memory. Loses the thread of conversation. Cannot speak without weeping. Time passes too slowly (Cannab ind; Arg n). Is in a great hurry.”
“Is in a great hurry; when doing anything is in such a hurry she gets fatigued. Many symptoms are < when thinking of them (pains return as soon as he thinks about them, Ox. ac.).”
Looking for more than a quick remedy?
Acute remedies can be a starting point for short-term complaints. Ongoing or recurring issues call for a full case: a detailed conversation about your physical, mental and emotional symptoms, so the remedy fits you as a whole person.
