Thuj , Thuja Occidentalis

Thuj in brief

• Thuj is a widely used remedy, although not as much as Nit-ac
• It is not a remedy that can be recognized only by its psychological image and often requires miasmatic analysis.
• Ailments from
  • Bad effects of vaccination
  • Suppressed or maltreated gonorrhea
• Hydrogenoid constitution; lymphatic temperament
• Fleshy persons; dark complexion; black hair
• Rapid exhaustion & emaciation
• Chilly remedy
• Unhealthy skin: Brown / Brownish white spots here and there.

Sankaran view

• Strongly sycotic remedy
  • Its main indications is the feeling of fragility, of being frail (A feeling of weakness within oneself)
  • Feeling of having something wrong or being weak with oneself (Like Med)

Physical Fragility

• He feels that any article of food or drink is surely bound to cause him problems
• His body cannot take things such as drugs, allergens, emotional stress or even a draught of air.

• He thinks his body looks very ugly.

MIND - DELUSIONS - body - ugly; body looks: bar-c, positr, tub

Emotional fragility

• Fear of losing face in society: He believes that he has a certain image in society of being a religious, morally upright, clean, honest person, free from human failings such as dishonesty, sexual temptations (especially) when forbidden, etc.
• He presents an elevated picture of himself and is afraid that any little slip on his part might reveal the real him or the bad part of him which he has tried so hard to cover up. I have to hide my inner self because if others find out how worthless I am, they will reject me.

  MIND - DELUSIONS - friend - affection of; has lost the

  MIND - DELUSIONS - worthless; he is

• Low self-confidence who does not feel good about himself. (Ambr, Lac-c). I am not accepted / Appreciated enough(Fix Idea).

MIND - THOUGHTS - persistent

MIND - DELUSIONS - appreciated, she is not

• He insults himself.

MIND - CONTEMPTUOUS - self, of

Avoidance

• He tries to avoid all these factors and attempts to keep himself covered from exposure to the same.
• These avoidances only reinforce the fear, and this vicious cycle goes on, making Thuj one of the main remedies for neurosis, with several obsessive-compulsive traits, fixed ideas and behavior patterns.
• Even a single dose of placebo could aggravated them so much that they had to stop it completely.
• On the other hand, some patients insist that unless they take the dose, all their complaints return, and they want to keep taking the doses every so often.

• He hates being in public and doesn't like anyone to see him, Esp afraid of strangers.
• Afraid of other people's comments.

MIND - FEAR - opinion of others, of

• I am fragile and unstable and I can break at any time. As if my body is made of glass or wood.
• He does not like to be approached or touched by anyone.

• Loneliness: Nobody loves me. I don't have any friends. He gets very sad about this.

• You shouldn't necessarily look for this clear picture for prescription because some people show this condition in a milder way. For example:
  • I am not OK
  • I have a defect that I need to hide.
  • When I walk, my bones feel weak and may break. I don't have osteoporosis.
  • Don't get crushed in the crowd. He does not like anyone to touch him
  • Better to stay at home..... Body is brittle!!!

Psychotic secrecy

• In this “bad part” lies his dishonesty, sexual desires (which may even be for close relatives), his immoral or irreligious feelings. If this is discovered, he is going to fall down from his imagined elevated position
• Thus, his survival depends on a complete cover up, and there is a tremendous anxiety of being exposed.
• Translated into expressions,Thuj is secretive and talks to the physician as if sharing a secret
• He is conscious of the presence of other persons, especially strangers.
• In rubrics, you have the feeling of floating in the air (Delusion, body lighter than air) and dreams of falling from high places which represent his fear of falling from his elevated position.

• They are chilly and like a hot bath.
• Thuj women can be very afraid of pregnancy, and often have the sensation of being pregnant, with associated feelings of guilt. These women can also be jealous, and may have fixed ideas that the husband is faithless.
• I have also observed that many Thuja people often exhibit a preference for the colour green.

Clinical points

• Be sure to think about this remedy in case of HPV. Even if it does not appear in the repertory and you prescribe another remedy, Thuj may be needed somewhere.
• In cases where the treatment process is not progressing as well as it should and HPV miasm indicators are observed, it is better to prescribe a dose of Thuj without obsession. To speed up the treatment and open the so-called case
• Thuj is not a remedy that should be prescribed too obsessively because improper administration does not disturb the patient.
• Thuj is a suitable prescription for people who do not have a sharp smell and the disease progress is slow, and as the saying goes, the noise of the disease is delayed, such as tumors and hypertrophies.
