Abstract

A case with chief complaints from cat allergies to fear and ‘bad attitude’ was addressed with Populus tremuloides. The case analysis applies Jan Scholten's Plant System by way of breaking down facets of the case as per Scholten's Element Theory as it is used in the Plant System. Main themes of the remedy are individualised in the case of the patient: hay fever (patient's cat allergy), lack of confidence/self-confidence, sensitive, loss of will power (suicidal depression, alcoholism, co-dependent relationships), ailments from being incomplete for the job, short-sighted, bankruptcy (bankruptcy in patient's family), unseen and unknown impressions/receiving impressions from other planes of reality (premonition of mother's death).
