This article presents the picture and proving of the remedy Berlin wall. The next article presents seven cases of Berlin wall. A remedy with polychrest qualities. Very often Berlin Wall is a very valuable inter-current (comparable with Nat-mur) in cases where traumatic incidents from the past have been walled off and where the indicated remedy didn’t or insufficiently touched those trauma’s. We have seen two types reacting well to Berlin Wall: -1- The “wall” types, closed, walled off, impenetrable; sometimes with barb-wire on it ("don’t touch me"). You have to differentiate them from Natrium muriaticum or other muriaticums, Sepia, Aurum’s, Calcarea’s, Lac’s. -2- The “border-less” types, they lack a wall - everything and everybody can walk in; defenseless. No structure, therefore confusion and panic.
