Lachesis

Since we briefly chatted snake remedies in the Coffee Chat today, I thought I would give a lil' breakdown of key traits where a lachesis remedy may be well indicated.

Key symptoms where lachesis may be well indicated:

left sided pains/ailments that move to the right
sleep aggravation
sensitivity to constriction - whether it be tight things around the neck (can't stand turtlenecks or fear of necklace around neck while sleeping, etc) or simply constriction in life, sore, tight throat, etc
jealousy & suspicion
loquacity
menopause - worse for it, hot flashes, etc.
purple/mottled skin (in acute cases)
cardiovascular ailments - hemorrhages, hot flashes, big affinity for heat

Now the key personality traits of the Lachesis archtype include being intensely charismatic, passionate & magnetic with the ability to draw others in effortlessly. Highly intelligent with rapid thinking where ideas may jump and overflow (excess). Deep jealousy and possessiveness in relationships. Suspicious mistrustful, can become easily paranoid, fears being controlled. Talkative to an excess where speech become circular or pressured under stress.

Think of some of the key characteristics of the Bushmaster snake from which this remedy is derived - constricting, coiling up to strike. The lachesis individual may be snappy or "strike" aggressively with behavior, words or out of jealousy. We can think of some narcissistic traits that overlap here with the lachesis individual.

Usually these individual's symptoms are aggravated by sleep and worse on waking. These individuals may not be able to tolerate any sort of touch or tight clothing (constriction). There may be many ailments from suppressed discharges (menses, grief, eruptions). There's also a big aspect to the heat of this remedy/individual where they are significantly worse off in the heat, with hot drinks, sun, yet are better in the open air.
