Among the many homeopathic remedies, Pulsatilla could be the single one you may want to take with you to a desert island. Pulsatilla is a gentle plant and people who need Pulsatilla exude softness, striving to go through storms by bending gently and finding accommodative agreements, mellow souls, and arrangements. This tendency may push Pulsatilla to be overly kind, mild, irresolute, and possibly compliant. She can put up with difficult people and we sometimes find Pulsatilla married to Nux Vomica partners, who are demanding and irritable.
Behind the apparent accommodating Pulsatilla, she could be nurturing jealousy, and the desire to get attention. A Pulsatilla person will be greatly supported when finding consolation and be allowed to weep and cry on your shoulder. She revives when she can talk about her frustration and anger. She can be easily getting frightened and has a lot of emotions that have traditionally been attributed to women—weepy, soft, acquiescent, and yielding.
Her symptoms are always changing and is better in open air; Pulsatilla tends to suffocate in warm or closed rooms. She may have melancholy and can be highly emotional. Homeopath would principally prescribe Pulsatilla to a weepy woman, who falls in the description above with the softness and the craving for attention when consolation ameliorates her ailments. Pulsatilla’s mood and physical ailments can easily change—joints pains wander about the body.
However, Pulsatilla has many tricks up its sleeve and can match certain male ailments—thereby defeating the stereotyped female Pulsatilla.
Pulsatilla helps for skin issues in puberty and assist in gently removing acne—for girls as well as boys.
Pulsatilla is of great help to men in the case of genital pain with inflammation of the testes (orchitis) and pain from the abdomen to the testicles. It will relieve the burning of the urethral orifice during and after urination as well as hydrocele testes, as well as scrotum and penis itching. It is possibly one of the first remedies to think of in the case of inflammation of the prostate and the Pulsatilla male patient may be relieved when the symptoms are worse laying on the back. We are definitely far away from the Pulsatilla-for women prescription!
