Dulc, Dulcamara
Dulc in brief
- Good remedy for widespread Autoimmune disease (skin, joints)
- Herpetic dermatitis/ Urticaria
- Rheumatoid arthritis / Skin eruptions with Rhus-t modalities (Cold / Wet agg)
- Asthma associated with skin lesions or joint rheumatism
- In my experience, It is usually ignored and missed with
- Calc constitutionally (Calc ₳ Dulc)
- Rhus-t (Morning dryness + Motion amel + Cold/ Wet agg) in Rhematism (Dulc ₳ Rhus-t)
- Sul in skin eruptions (Dulc ₳ Sul)
Core theme
- Dulc is the feeling of matriarchy. She always feels that he might be criticized, so she talks to you very gently and compassionately. If you only talk to her, you will be terribly wrong about her character. If you talk to the people around her, you will feel a conflict, which is a good criterion for diagnosis. She cares a lot for the people around her and talks about them regularly. (Calc, Nat-m, Phos) Pay attention, these details are very, very accurate!
- My experience: I gave a patient Bar-c for about 6 months and the result was good, but when she had a relapse, increasing the potency and giving Sul didn't solve the problem, and it reminded me of Dulc. She was really hiding her dictatorship and I discover it in visiting her daughters.
- Those around her are needed to be Dominated / Controlled by her. So she has to have complete information about them and take them under her wing. Of course, this state may lead to a lot of interference. There is no problem if others accept her dominance. But if people prevent her from dominating, she rejects them and this is the beginning of her problems. In this case, she becomes completely indifferent to them.

Sympathetic?!?
- Dulc can be considered among sympathetic remedies because his continuous interventions in others daily affairs, have made her a Compassionate/ Sympathetic who always takes care of others.
- Unlike Nat-m, when he sees the other person's pain, she does not remember her own pain and sympathize with him from the bottom of her heart
- Unlike Caust, she is not group-oriented. She does not believe in any particular religion and creed and does not oblige herself to fight for the preservation of a particular group and idea.
- Like Phos, he has a high feeling and understanding of the environment, but she is not at all emotional, naive and distracted. She does not understand the pain of those so she is not a good Sorrowful and empathic or even sympathetic .
- She is completely practical and materialistic.
- Dulc is hasty and talkative.
- She does not deal with internal and extrasensory concepts and is more concerned with tangible and visible issues.
