BERBERIS VULGARIS [Barberry]
BERBERIS VULGARIS (barberry) has a long history as a herbal and homeopathic medicine. This is often a first remedy when it comes to KIDNEY and URINARY related issues yet the depth of this seemingly meek little flower is accompanied by a symbolism that provides us with further insight in to its healing potential.
Is is believed that the thorns of barberry crowned Jesus on the cross. As a homeopathic remedy BERBERIS VULGARIS bares a quality of HIDDEN, BURIED and SECRET WOUNDS that are so deeply embedded that the ORIGINS of abuse, pain and suffering are BEYOND the CONSCIOUS MIND and FACILITY TO ARTICULATE them.
Within BERBERIS VULGARIS there is a deep sense of SELF-PERSECUTION yet it’s picture is difficult to ascertain on one’s mental and emotional qualities alone. It is as though the vital force itself obfuscates expression away from these aspects, instead emphasising its presence through the expression of physical maladies.
What is often palpable however is INDIFFERENCE, APATHY and a general sense of MELANCHOLY. The individual may be TEARFUL, CONFUSED and ANXIOUS with a sense of being “ON-EDGE”. Accompanying DIFFICULT THINKING comes FATIGUE, a SICKLY PALOUR and WEARINESS of life. There can be pain and indeed an AVERSION TO SEXUAL INTERCOURSE exacerbated by a myriad of UROGENITAL symptoms in both men and women, for women VAGINISMUS may feature. MENSTRUATION can be affected to the point of DESPAIR for some.
