PHYTOLACCA DECANDRA
(Phytolacca)
A remedy for subtle deep-seated pain.
It helps to gain endurance and support in difficult situations.
Unties the knot of pain.
The remedy brings a person out of the archetype of "suppressed aggression," "frozen scream."
It leads out of the darkness of fear and worthlessness.
Helps to cross the boundary from isolation to timid interest and an attempt at contact.
Key point: we work with the feeling of shame for one’s need for contact.

- Repressed aggression, especially towards loved ones
- Tightness, depression, suppression of cries

But when you allow yourself to sound, feel, move, you become not dangerous — but alive.

BASIS
Phytolacca / pokeweed - a poisonous plant with a central stem and dark berries.
Symbolizes the cry of the soul in the body. Tensed aggression directed inward.
In homeopathy, it is used to mobilize the cleansing system. Applied for removing toxins, mucus, inflammations, burning.
Removes physical and psychic poison (maternal aggression).
EFFECT

- Restoring contact without destroying oneself.
- Brings life, love, care back into any contact.
ARCHETYPE
- A person with a clenched jaw: has no right to express anger.
- Poisoned mother: provides care, but inside there is pain and
anger.
- Bodily armor: tension that turns into pain and inflammation
- Amazon in armor: feels everything but does not allow herself to be seen and vulnerable.
IMAGES:
- A child whose mouth is held shut so they won't make noise
- A woman breastfeeding, her face full of fatigue and pain that she cannot show in order to be good
CONFLICT
- between the desire to love and the inability to express anger,
- between contact and bodily rejection.
- if too much was given, anger was suppressed for the sake of closeness.
TRANSFORMATION

- After: Softness, alive breathing, liberated voice, healthy care.
RITUAL
Place your hands on your chest, take 3 breaths in and out and
start to sound. Express emotion.

"I am no longer afraid to give. I give — from abundance, not from pain."
