Join me as I decipher these rubrics and discover the profound wisdom they hold, enriching our understanding of the mind-body connection in homeopathy.

NAKED wants to be

“Naked” means having no clothes, no coverings, or protection on the body.
It shows when someone’s body is fully visible and not hidden by any clothing.
In a wider sense, “naked” can also show being emotionally or metaphorically open, like having no barriers or defences.
It’s often connected with physical nudity, but it can also mean being honest and transparent in various situations.
The main idea is about the lack of clothing or coverings on the body, which is the core meaning of “naked.”

NARRATING her symptoms agg.

“Narrating” means explaining or describing something, often in a story-like manner.
“Her symptoms” refers to the physical or emotional signs that a person is experiencing, indicating an underlying health condition.
“Aggravates” means makes something worse or more intense.
So, the line suggests that when someone describes or talks about their symptoms,
It could worsen their condition or make their discomfort more severe.
This could be due to the act of narrating causing heightened awareness or stress, which in turn might lead to an increase in the symptoms they’re experiencing.

Remedy: Calc.

NEW, objects seem

“New” means something that has recently come into existence or is unfamiliar.
“Objects” refer to things, items, or elements that can be seen or touched.
“Seem” indicates the way something appears or gives the impression.
So, the line suggests that when things are new,
They may appear different or unusual compared to what one is used to.
This can create a sense of novelty or unfamiliarity.
It often prompts curiosity and a closer look to understand or explore these new objects.

Remedy: Hell.

NYMPHOMANIA

Nymphomania, also known as hypersexuality, is a psychological condition characterized by intense and uncontrollable sexual desire in females.
Sometimes, people use this word to say a woman is acting in a way that’s not normal or healthy.
But, important to know, doctors today don’t use “nymphomania” as a real word. They use “hypersexuality” or “compulsive sexual behavior” instead.
When we talk about things like this, we need to be careful and kind. If anyone is worried, it’s best to talk to a doctor who knows about these things.
People have different ideas about what’s okay when it comes to sex, so being open and understanding is really important.

OBSTINATE

“Obstinate” is a word that talks about people who are very strong-willed and don’t easily change their minds.
It means they stick to their own ideas and ways of doing things, even if others try to convince them otherwise.
An obstinate person doesn’t like to follow instructions or listen to advice from others.
They might keep their opinions and decisions, even if those might not be the best choices.
This can show determination, but it can also create disagreements and problems when working with others.
Sometimes, being obstinate stops them from understanding different points of view or finding better solutions.

Finding a balance between being determined and being open to new ideas is important for them, so they can work well with others and make good choices.

OCCUPATION, amel

“Occupation” refers to a person’s job, work, or activity they do to earn a living or spend their time.
“Ameliorates” means to improve or make something better.
So, the line suggests that engaging in an occupation has a positive effect.
It means that being involved in a job or activity can lead to improvements in some way.
This improvement might relate to a person’s well-being, skills, or circumstances.
Occupations can have a beneficial impact on different aspects of life, such as financial stability, personal growth, or overall happiness.

This underlines the idea that having a meaningful occupation can bring about positive changes and contribute to a better quality of life.

OFFENDED, easily

“Offended” describes feeling hurt, upset, or insulted by something someone said or did.
“Easily” means that this feeling happens quickly or without much effort.
So, “offended easily” means someone gets upset or hurt easily by things others say or do.
It might be small things that bother them, like a comment or a joke.
These feelings of being offended can happen without much reason, and they might feel sensitive to criticism or jokes.
People who are offended easily might have strong reactions, like feeling angry, sad, or wanting to avoid the situation.
It’s important to understand that people’s feelings are different, and what offends one person might not offend another.
Being sensitive to others’ feelings and trying to communicate kindly can help create a better understanding and prevent unintentional harm.

In simpler words, “offended easily” means someone gets their feelings hurt quickly by things others say or do, even if they are not meant to be hurtful. They might feel upset easily and react strongly. Being kind and understanding can help avoid causing hurt feelings.
