Bellis Perennis

Bellis Perennis

Genius of the remedy:
The patient is very chilly, needs warm clothes and a warm room, closes the window, though walking in open air ameliorates his pains. He is very sensitive to every coldness, cold draft, wind, but especially by suddenly being cooled down or getting wet when heated. He than becomes ill in various manners.

Though many ailments are caused by getting cold, most of the pains are better from cold locally, worse from warmth; except toothache.

Bellis personality seems influenced in almost every case from being scarred by life and its traumatic occurrences. 
The person is thoroughly a hard and often hand-working person, who is worn out from this life-long task, both physically and mentally. States of elderly people, tired from toilsome work, like old gardeners and workmen. The morning stiffness and soreness are better from continued moving, even though the motion is painful, they have to go through the pain to get better generally.

For women, Krichbaum draws a nice picture: “Stasis is a Bellis keynote, and from this central point we are led to many disorders, which may be helped by it. Take the fagged womb, worn out by too frequent pregnancies. Everybody knows the swarthy, lean nervous little woman, who has perhaps sacrificed her life to a big family, approaches the menopause a wreck. She has engorged veins, she is giddy, tired, nervous. Her wits refuse to work; there is brain fag like Picrid acid. She wants to lie down for her giddy head troubles her. Her head aches from occiput to sinciput; it is sore and bruised. She may suggest Arnica, but the Arnica patient is more apt to be plethoric with a sanguine disposition, the patient disposed to cerebral congestion. The sorenesss of Arnica, too, is more superficial than of Bellis; the pains come on suddenly while those of Bellis go deeper and are slower in onset.” 
The latter remark must be revised, for the provings of Bellis show often a sudden but later unset of pains and complaints.
