Primigravida with the history of amenorrhea for 7 months came in labor. A case where the patient had spotting. This is an indication that the process of labor has begun, but the patient is not full term. The burning pains in the abdomen and the uterine region have started after a frightful dream of an accident.

Argentum nitricum, Full of gas, by Dr. Abhay Talwalkar

21 year old, ambitous female student with fear of failure or losing control, complains of sour eractation and vomiting. The problems aggravated since the close relation with one of her cousins, who was like a big brother to her, ended because of his marriage. Talking about spooky places starts the urge of suffocation.

Trauma treatment examples, by Dr.K.V.Natarajan

Two examples in which basic homeopathy has been very effective where (application of) allopathic treatment is questionable or limiting. One is a fixed eye pupil, the other a sideways moving knee that was moving independently. Both cases occurred due to a crash. If carefully selected nothing can stop a homeopathy remedy to do her work.

Macaw, a bright bird, by Anne Wirtz

Pregnant woman, age 37, with severe allergic asthma attacks from a cat. Uses her vivid imagination as an illustrator an while drawing comic books. Always ready to demonstrate against injustice, enthusiastic, lively, very faithful and idealistic about relationships. She always lived with ‘anarchistic’ and creative people in groups. Felt always very responsible for the well being of the group, without getting the proper credits. Before she met this partner it was difficult for her to live on her own, even within the group and she longed constantly for a true relationship. The reason for her colourful appearance is "to attract attention, that people see you".
