MEDORRHINUM
There is something in Medorrhinum which you get without asking; they enter the room, and they have a particular kind of energy that is sexual. ....along with the erotic, artistic charcteristics; there is the defiance, the contradictory - revolutionary attitudes, the extravagance.
(Anne SCHADDE, HL. 2/95)
Sensitive and intense, you can feel it when they speak. There is an emotional expression similar to Phosphorous, but less superficial. They expose from the heart, you feel good talking to them.
Some men may be with feminine characteristics. Intuitive, clairvoyant. (Can detect underground water etc.) There is a hard Medorrhinum type which dwells on Alcohol and Sex - not very likable. But the hard and soft facets may be found in a single person.

A SUMMARY OF THE MENTAL SYMPTOMS OF MEDORRHINUM
The erotic-aggressive instincts are exalted and heightened in the Medorrhinum patient, resulting in sudden brief spurts of over-activity. When this is compounded with a tuberculin background, it is as much more detached or subdued than Thuja. This Medorrhinum-Tuberculin combination produces a “minus condition” and does not show the destructive activity usually found in the more hypertrophic Thuja type.
If the disease form of Medorrhinum comes first in the beginning of the psychotic manifestations, and then is impregnated with Tuberculosis, Thuja then offers a picture of complete psychopathic development in the mental spheres.
The anxiety of Conscience is expressed much the same as Thuja. The Moral Conscience may develop a claim of an affected perversion, such as “he is a genius” whereas the Medorrhinum-Thuja patient will under-value his conflict, and his solution will be in Fear and Insecure patterns of reaction. Thuja will find solutions through hypertrophic and Ego aggressiveness.
To summarize the mental scheme of Medorrhinum, there are two fundamental aspects of the psychotic miasma: a weakening memory and mind, and an “affected” perversion to solve conflicts.
First Aspect Characteristic symptom

Leaders with strong personalities (children/teenagers); can be wild teenagers.
(Peggy CHIPKIN, HT. Nov./92)
An attempt is made to control what moves in and out of the body. These individuals are constantly projecting their minds into the future. Lack of control leads to skin tumors and Cancer. (DG)
MERCURIUS
Anger held inside causes the symptoms. (Colocynth - Cramp; Staphysagria - Hypersensitive; Causticum - Fight.).
Inflexible; very correct (Kali.) with strong feelings towards traditions, cannot accept modern ideas or fashions. A STRONG SENSE OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM, REACTS TO WHAT HE FEELS IS UNJUST AND CAN KILL.
Does not react immediately but boils inside (Nux-v., reacts immediately); when the control goes it all bursts out. QUIET ON THE OUTSIDE BUT SEE THINGS INSIDE, given away by the tremulous voice. Impulses to kill, but may not admit this. Pathologies: occluded arteries leading to hypertension; formation of stones; intermittent claudication.
In one case the patient did things “right”, but his new boss was not good at correct execution of work, which the patient did not like, yet could not speak out. The anger built up inside until occluded areteries resulted.
In essence, when others are not as disciplined as one and one cannot speak out, the Mercury state arises.
(Alfons GEUKENS, HL. 2 & 3/94)
MERCURIUS SOLUBILIS
We find Mercurius among the ranks of over-talented precocious children who skip a grade, or are again among the leaders of teenage gangs. Restless into everything, joking, bold, dictatorial and may also be egocentric, indifferent to loved ones, even subject to homicidal impulses.
MILLEFOLIUM
CHIRON the Centaur is said to have taught Achilles the warrior, the use of Achilles as a woundwort. (Hence the name Achilles Millefolium.) HOMER gives a graphic account of its use for a battle wound. The Roman legions called it Herba Militaris. Millefolium is suited to cuts and bruises - especially both together – such as would be caused by a sharp or blunt instrument hitting the body (as in a war). (Arnica for strains/sprains, pulls, bruise, over-exertions, injury from blunt instruments.)
Also as a tincture/salve locally.
