RHODOCHROSITE [Gem Essence]
A manganese carbonate crystal with varying quantities of calcium, ferrum and zinc, RHODOCHROSITE is a complex mineral that encompasses a definitive mental, emotional and physiological picture as a homeopathic remedy. This is a formative remedy for the HEART and EMOTIONS in an individual persistently feeling EMBATTLED, EASILY OVERWHELMED and UNABLE TO COPE.
The propensity in RHODOCHROSITE is NEGATIVITY, which will present in different ways. We may observe a VULNERABILITY with a SENSITIVITY TO CRITICISM, a sense of HOPELESSNESS even to the point where PANIC ATTACKS may feature or more subtly in a person who appears BUOYANT in company only to feel DEPRESSED when they are once again ALONE. Alternatively this negativity may be expressed through outward CYNICISM, a BLUNT MANNER and in some cases HARD-HEARTEDNESS, INTOLERANCE and PESSIMISM. At the root of this habitual patterning is frequently EMOTIONAL TRAUMA, a history of being DISPLACED and the HARBOURING OF DEEP ANGER.
RHODOCHROSITE may be indicated in an individual who has been WORN DOWN by their innate capacity to function as CARETAKER yet is a sentiment that they feel has not been adequately reciprocated, they themselves having the desperate need for NURTURING. Beyond their TOUGH EXTERIOR there is a palpable sense that they are wanting to be HELD and PROTECTED. Without these needs being met RHODOCHROSITE endeavours to create this for themselves by BUILDING BARRIERS around their heart, the ramifications of which lead to a manifesting of RIGIDITY on all levels.
As such the HEART and CIRCULATORY systems become prone to a loss of ELASTICITY with compensatory pathophysiological states ranging from ATHEROSCLEROSIS to HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, PALPITATIONS to FIBRILLATIONS. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HOT FLUSHES and accompanying symptoms arising through MENOPAUSE, the archetypal time of “coming in to one’s truth” reflect the consequences of the ongoing push-and-pull of all that is harboured in RHODOCHROSITE. The KIDNEYS and their role in regulating the BODY’S WATERS may manifest in a variety of conditions from OEDEMA IN THE LUNGS to DRY SKIN, DIGESTIVE ISSUES to HEADACHE.
