| This fish's black juice can paint a portrait,
scribble a script or harmonize hormones - there must be magic in it. Sepia
earned its fame by aiding hormonal changes, vaginal complaints (dryness,
thrush) and menopause. Thus it is commonly used for heavy periods with a
'bearing down sensation', hot flashes and PMS, all with erratic emotional
changes, irritability and indifference toward those whom they love most.
Other Sepia benefits include nervous fatigue, sleeplessness, headaches, nausea,
lower back pain, sweating fever. Sepia's best patients do not cry easily,
keep feelings to themselves, often love to dance or run, which is great
since their symptoms need and improve with exercise and worsen with sitting
and kneeling (thus its nickname, the 'washerwoman's remedy'). When ill,
they prefer to be alone. Though primarily a women's remedy, Sepia can help
men as well, particularly with the 'ball in the anus' constipation, stomach
distress from smoking, bed-wetting and other urinary applications. 'Never
well since puberty' and many tears in talking about their symptoms fall
under Sepia, too. |
