Evolution of Opium
a. Foetal state
• Mother had experienced a state of fright during gestational period.
• Mother addicted to opiates, heroine, morphine etc.
• H/o Mother had taken sedatives during pregnancy.
• Mother suffered from constipation during gestational period.
• Lively and violent foetal movements.
• Difficult labor: mother in a shock stage and has received inj. morphine and birth of a child has occurred.
b. Neonatal state:
• Asphyxia neonatorum with consequent effects at mind and body level. The child is unconscious, pin pointed pupils, convulsions, cold perspiration.
• Retention of urine soon after birth.
• Constipated bowels; no urging for days.
• Birth trauma - Caput medusae. Head injury.
c. Child:
• Delayed milestones. Mentally retarded. Imbecile.
• The child is born emaciated, non - fleshy, puny, not putting on weight; remains thin and undernourished; failure to thrive.
• Nursing mother if in a state of fright, child suffers from convulsions.
• Somnambulism.
Behaviour:
• Non-demanding with tendency to lie. Indifferent to immediate surrounding, appears apathetic. No sense of responsibility as his normal faculties of mind are not developed. Confusion of mind. If asked to perform two tasks, he creates confusion.
• Lack of maturity results in impulsive, audacious behaviour; boldness or recklessness. Dreamy. Doesn't understand the ground reality.
• The child is absent minded with abstraction of mind. He appears cheerful and innocent, hence pampered. No responsibilities to be shouldered hence his capacities have not developed. Procrastination and avoidance of task - the usual features.
• Kleptomania. Active, sharp or weak memory. Deceptive. Temper tantrum.

d. Adolescence:
• Opium adolescents retain some characters of childhood. His mental age is disproportionate to his physical one.
• Untruthful, unsympathetic, immature, amoral, liar, witty, humorous, shameless, perverted sexual behaviour, lascivious, dramatic, quarrelsome.
• Low comprehension, dull. Neither he performs at school nor he is helpful at home. Hence the utility part is very little. But retains his sensitivity of mind: to insult, to indignation, to mortification, to fright. He also develops jealousy with siblings.
• There is often an unpredictable response e.g. one expects rage but instead, quiet disposition is observed. At times expects too much love, and when offered behaves indifferently. At times very demanding or opposite. Kleptomaniac. Memory is deceptive. Will show no pains after trauma.
e. Adult Life:
• Opium assumes the group of dull, indolent, imbecile and also manipulative remedies. 'To lie' is common with Opium. He knows well how to deceive others. Apparently he gives a feeling of innocence and dullness. He uses these two weapons to go in for winning through deception. Lack of intelligence keeps Opium in problem as he can't utilize his brain for the sake of bread and butter. He resorts to deceptive methods.
• Constipation is a strong feature that runs chronically in Opium adult life. He resorts to laxatives and makes his intestines idler.
• Opium retains the timidity in adult life. He doesn't take any risk or enterprise. Flight response is common. Dependency is marked. He can't discharge a responsible work as he has less capacity and maturity. Opium has also abundance of ideas and clear mind. This should be understood as the flip-flop side of a polychrest remedy like Opium. Opium sits at home, does nothing and hence a "bucket" for the family members.
f. Old age:
• Already depressive phase of senility adds to the Opium state. The senile period is characterized by depressive phase at all levels. The mind loses its go. The patient may suffer from psychiatric illnesses like depression, imbecility, schizophrenia etc. or he may have organic brain diseases, chronic respiratory diseases of obstruction, paralysis of single organs or side; cerebro-vascular strokes etc.
• The end of Opium is usually in an unconscious state! 'Demands nothing' as a strong, peculiar feature is exhibited at the end of life. The unconscious state demands nothing, insensibility is a strong feature and the patient dies in a calm, placid stage. The plant of joy 'Opium' has its say at the last and euthanasia, as the result is the confirmation of Opium essence.
