Mentality

	Sul	Lyc	Calc
Main theme	He is essentially IRRITABLE . He has a bad temper and responds with aggression to aggression.	He is ANGRY. He explodes at the slightest annoyance. (Merc, Puls) However, despite his naughty appearance, Lycopodium is also a coward. Like Calc, it is filled with apprehension. Sometimes he is sad, esp in the morning.	He is FEARFUL. He is full of apprehension. He is afraid of everything, of losing his mind, of being ruined, of contagious diseases, of being observed, etc...
Solitude	Sul does not really look for company, without hating it. He is as good in society as when he is alone. He is a being who belongs to the dilated type, who is turned outward, which means that he generally succeeds well in life.	He is a rather curious patient. He hates company, crowds, and yet he cannot bear to be truly alone. The ideal condition for him is to be alone in a room, but with the presence of an intimate in a neighboring room.	Calc is quite sociable. He often seeks company, which gives him an air of good nature.
Nervous	He is lively in his reactions, but he is lazy and careless.	He is a nervous-bilious. He is very lively. He is always revolted, indignant, ready to get angry.	He is quite lymphatic and hates being disturbed in his habits. He is slow to take action, but he is perseverant in his undertakings. He is generally loyal to his doctor. But make no mistake, he despite the slowness of its reflexes, is often quite male and is capable of aggression and of responding violently to aggression. Sometimes has a bad temper, more often he is gentle.
Secration Color Odor	His secretions are IRRITANT and have a bad odor. Urine is frequent, but small in quantity. Menses are late, scanty and short-lived. Leucorrhea is acidic and irritating.	His secretions are dense, viscous and hyperacid. Lycopodium urinates often and little at a time. He is more likely to retain urine than incontinence. Urine often leaves a deposit of RED SAND. This symptom is extremely characteristic of Lycopodium. Periods are usually late. Leucorrhea is most often acidic. Milk is scarce.	His secretions. are acidic, ABUNDANT AND SAFE. Periods are early, heavy and last too long. The Baby Calc. gives off a SAFE SMELL like RHEUM and HEPAR babies. HE SWEATS A PROFUSE OF HIS HEAD AT NIGHT AND COMPLETELY WETS HIS PILLOW.
