Anac, Anacardium Orientale

Clinic

Anac has two main uses:

1. Instability that leads to mutual contradiction
2. Fatigue due to excessive mental work

Is he a murder?

• The image of this remedy in Matria Medica books is completely exaggerated and shows a murderer / prisoner who has Personality disorder. This would be a good image for homeopathic students in order to train remedy characters but this would not be useful in practice.
• In prescribing we should look for antagonism, lack of self-confidence and hesitation along with violence.

Antagonism VS irresolution

• Puls, Bar-c and Sil have irresolution in making decision due to their low self-confidence but Anac has Antagonism.
• Puls has not the power of problem-solving because of low self-steam. She is afraid of not being appreciated.(Anac ₳ Puls)
• Bar-c is afraid of being laughed. (Anac ₳ Bar-c)
• Sil is full of fear of being judged.
• Anac is used when someone has tow opposite decision at the same time. He is strong enough to mention his decisions changed impulsively.
• He is not left with no choice but to go back and forth in one of the ways and this made him angry from himself.
• This would push him in the way of splitting between intellect and emotion, sensation of duality and finally psychosis.
• Being abused by his parents would be a good start of Anac pathology
