PUNICA GRANATUM [Pomegranate]
This attractive fruit has been long used as a therapeutic with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, PUNICA GRANATUM [Pomegranate] is known to promote healthy tissue formation, providing systemic support to the entire body. As homeopathic remedy we find a distinct mental and emotional picture that often originates from DEEPLY HELD, UNEXPRESSED GRIEF with a strong affinity to one's MATERNAL LINE. We may observe this ancestral patterning manifest in the relationship between MOTHER and Child - where APPREHENSION or ANXIETY surface around themes of TORMENT, SUFFERING and DISTRESS - themes that reflect the experience they had with their own Mother.
The emotions are oftentimes FELT DIRECTLY IN THE HEART yet even so, the strategy in PUNICA GRANATUM is to AVOID broaching this vast well of EMOTIONAL PAIN lest connecting to it result in an ENDLESS GROUNDSWELL OF GRIEF AND SADNESS. Instead PUNICA GRANATUM channels this energy in to BEING BUSY or alternatively in to EXCESSIVE TIREDNESS in which the preferred state is to shut off and sleep. The tendency towards SPEED and the CONSTANT DEMAND ON ONE’S OWN RESOURCES to fuel this activity is ultimately counterproductive, leading the person to feeling STUCK, LOCKED IN and DISCONNECTED from their LIFE AND SOUL PURPOSE. Perpetual BUSYNESS in one’s actions are reflected in the tendency to NOSTALGIC MIND CHATTER, where events long past churn over one's mind and are persistently MISINTERPRETED. The cost on the NERVOUS SYSTEM of this HYPERADRENALISED STATE is extensive and commonly not one that the individual is aware of. Although IRRITABILITY, ANTAGONISM and ARROGANCE may be the means by which they face the world, PUNICA GRANATUM is an EXTREMELY SENSITIVE person, prone to the INFLUENCE OF OTHERS with a very STRONG NEED TO BE NURTURED.
As above so below - that which is intensely held in the energy body is expressed in kind in the physical - the CARDIOVASCULAR, DIGESTIVE, NERVOUS, REPRODUCTION and URINARY SYSTEMS sharing a direct affinity with this remedy.
Anomalies of the VAGUS NERVE, HEART PALPITATIONS, CRAMPING CHEST PAIN, THICK BLOOD and HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE may arise with all manner of RHEUMATIC CONDITIONS with STIFFNESS , SWELLING and PAIN.
Interestingly, PUNICA GRANATUM’S sensitivities will often manifest on the physiological level in those PRONE TO ALLERGIES, HISTAMINE-related EXACERBATIONS from ITCHING SKIN to ANAPHYLAXIS. This is one of the key remedies to consider in PROSTATE CANCER and similar pathology in the OVARIES. It is a remedy where the EYES, BLOOD and LIVER are indicated and is key in all digestive system ailments from issues around APPETITE to INDIGESTION, HYPERACIDITY and CHRONIC IRRITABLE BOWELS.
So much of PUNICA GRANATUM is captured in the Greek Myth of Persephone and her kidnapping in to the Underworld.
