Rubric - DELUSION FLOATING IN AIR
ASARUM EUROPAEUM – European snake root
Asarum belongs in the mountains so already it is floating, high up in the cool air that it loves. The leaves of Asarum glisten when washed with cold rain, it is the ideal place to be high and floating in coolness.
But Asarum is a very sensitive remedy, not at all prepared, as you might think, to ‘tough it out’.
The sensitivity comes from within the nerves. It is unbearable for them to hear noise, touch anything, read, show emotion, think, even eating makes them nauseated.
They tackle this level of sensitivity by becoming confused and vacant, absent minded and sluggish. But this position on the line of the diseased state also has lurking a painful sensation of being pressed together, plugged up as well as feeling stretched – pressed together and then stretched out again – shrinking and expanding. It is a bit like being recycled for another use entirely. Cold air and cold washing washes all that bad feeling away – there is a need to shake off or expel this heavy pressing sensation, it is the only way to survive. They also crave alcohol and this is another way of escaping.
This is understandable in terms of the family of plants Asarum belongs to – the Aristolochiacae, the birthworts, and this explains the ‘expelling, the giving birth, the purging. Historically Asarum has been used as a purgative (there is a great deal of vomiting in the symptom picture which actually clears the mind of confusion) and also it has been used as a snuff, to cause sneezing – another way of ‘getting rid of’. And, as its common name is snakewort it is easy to understand how it has been used to treat the bites of venomous snakes, another method of extracting.
But this doesn’t entirely explain the ability to be levitated (which is another method of extraction, moving from one place to another by means of an illusion). Whatever your beliefs about levitation, whether it can or cannot be achieved, there is a sensation of exhilaration within Asarum, a sense of rapture as they begin to ascend towards lightness and air and their thoughts vanish and are left behind as they escape back to their chosen wilderness, high up in the mountains.
Basically, it is about displacement, falling and rising and being discontented and displeased with the results and not wanting to be where they find themselves. This, in turn, is all about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and not being able to cope. Levitating makes this better.
