AMBRA GRISEA:
LOW SELF-ESTEEM with EMBARASSMENT is the central theme of the remedy.
These Individuals are highly sensitive to the OPINION of OTHERS. They don't want to face people because if they move around among people they will be JUDGED.
They easily feel embarrassed. They feel themselves to be a FAILURE and easily develop GUILT.
They are ASOCIAL. They are TIMID and want to AVOID COMPANY. They feel ANXIOUS in company. They are specially AVERSE to STRANGERS and their company makes them highly anxious. They are averse to conversation and it makes them feel worse.
Their aversion to the PRESENCE of STRANGERS during STOOL and URINATION is very well known. What others will feel about them and what opinion they will have if they are around at the time of stool or urination is highly characteristic.
This is one of the most embarrassing situations for them. One Ambra Grisea patient was averse to the idea of an attached toilet. He said, he didn't understand how people can have an attached toilet. The very idea was embarrassing for him.
To compensate for low self-esteem they (women) behave in a COQUETTISH manner. Moreover animal remedies do display some amount of sexuality.
The PRESENCE of other PEOPLE aggravate the symptoms for example COUGH is WORSE when there are PEOPLE around.
They are SENSITIVE to MUSIC. Their SADNESS becomes worse from music and they even WEEP from music.
One peculiar modality which helps choose the remedy is AGGRAVATION of
majority of physical complaints FROM MUSIC. To name a few....headache, cough, asthma, backache, pain in ears, palpitation, trembling are all worse from music.
These are some important features of Ambra grisea. It's a remedy which does not get it's due as it's often missed and Baryta carb, Nat mur, Lac can or Thuja are prescribed instead.
