COLCHICUM AUTUMNALE
(Autumn Crocus).
It turned out to be a very valuable remedy for early chaotic subpersonalities. Colchicum gathers them, consolidates them, and grounds them.
They gain support, structure – and they can start manifesting normally.
Symbol: The soul poisoned by the memory of a toxic past. A remedy for deep betrayal and poisonous poisoning of the soul.
This cannot be digested. There is nausea from the manifestation of the world, smells, sounds, touches. Life has become poison.
Symptoms
- Nausea triggered by food smells
- Abdominal bloating
- Tender painful joints
- Loose stools with cramping
Traditional symptom profile for reference, not a proven indication for treatment. Seek medical assessment for new or significant symptoms.
Heightened anxiety, exhaustion, fastidiousness, aversion to people.
BASIS
The Colchicum plant, which blooms in autumn, radiating beauty at the moment of the dying of nature. It combines delicacy, fragility, and poison. It affects the gastrointestinal and nervous systems.
Symbolically – this is a soul that cannot withstand the coarseness, filth, and violence of life.
INDICATIONS – shock:
- Deep sensitivity to everything: smells, impressions, people, words.
(The world is too
dirty, loud)
- Often — after traumatic experiences (violence, loss)
- Disgust, especially towards food, as a symbol of life, contact, joy.
- Intolerance of pain, both aesthetic and physical.
- Inner powerlessness, emptiness
- Rheumatic pain, worsening in autumn.
- Crying without tears, longing without words, disgust without cause.
- Withdrawal, coldness, prohibition on touch.
🔥 ARCHETYPE
- Highly sensitive hermit — retreats into seclusion, unable to endure the outside world.
- Priestess, detached from the world, with extremely fine sensitivity but no strength to protect herself.
- Refined soul, thrown into a crude, stinking reality.
- A girl forced to swallow someone else's filth.
IMAGES:
- A room filled with the smells of the past, where it is stuffy.
- A woman holding a beautiful flower, which makes her nauseous.
- Falling leaves in which there is poison.
EFFECT
- Removes
hypersensitivity to smells, the past, pain.
- Helps digest the poisons of past emotions.
- Restores contact with the body, life, the world.
- Restores the ability to nourish yourself, to take in food, touch, life.
- Reduces bodily and emotional disgust towards oneself and the world.
- Clears the internal "fog": restores the sense of body, ground, taste.
IDEA OF THE REMEDY
- Sometimes pain cannot be pulled out — it needs to be gently dissolved.
- You have the right to live, even if it hurts.
- Even if the past smells of death — you are alive.
🧱 STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT
- 0.1–1.5 years: trauma of disgust, refusal of contact. Experience of loss, rejection, possibly — traumas from the maternal figure.
- 3–6 years (sexuality): the feeling that the body is a source of disgust or pain.
💡 LESSON AND MESSAGE
Your sensitivity is a gift, not a curse.
You can create a pure space around yourself.
You have the right to say "no" to everything that
poisons.
You are not obliged to endure filth in order to live.
You can live — not despite the pain, but together with it.
AFFIRMATIONS
I feel, but I do not break
I can live, even if it hurts
I breathe through memory
I am not poisoned, I am cleansing
I take from life only what nourishes
TRANSFORMATION
Before: disgust, nausea, hypersensitivity, poisoned by the past
After: calm clarity, easy breathing, acceptance, inner warmth
IMAGE / MEDITATION
Imagine that inside you there is fog filled with poison. You are standing in the wind. The wind is your new choice. It passes through you and disperses the fog.
You take a flower in your hands — it still smells of the past, but now you look at it without pain. You plant it in the ground. Where the pain was — now there is memory, strength, and roots.
🔮 RITUAL
Prepare fragrant herbs (mint, lavender) — anything that pleases the senses
Wrap yourself in a warm blanket, recreate your personal temple
Say: "I have the right to separate myself from what harms me.
I have the right to sensitivity and purity.
I breathe life. I feel, but I do not dissolve."
Additional materials and observations (1)
Some remedies the author compares for stress:
1. Rhus Rox (source spelling) Described for physical tightness, rigidity and bodily symptoms.
2. Coffea Cruda Described for psychophysical over-excitation, when there is a need to stabilise and calm down.
3. Nux Vomica Described for mental and nervous excitation, helping reduce over-control and increase reliance on oneself.
4. Colchicum Described by the author as a deeper remedy for an excessive stress response formed early in life.
The author arranges these remedies by perceived depth of work and notes that not every situation calls for working at the level of early psychological trauma; sometimes the issue may simply be physical overstrain.
