The central idea of Conium maculatum is
weakness and paralysis
and that it is very gradual.
I’ve been feeling
weak and listless
for quite a while.

Socrates was condemned to injest Conium
because of his “negative” influence on the
youth of Athens. (He was in his late
seventies.)
He said (and they were his last words) :
'Crito, we owe a cock to AEsculapius; pay
it, therefore, and do not neglect it'. . . .
As the action increases, the lungs are attacked;
there is dyspnea, affecting the heart muscle.
Finally the patient dies from paralysis of
respiration.
A frequent and characteristic symptom is
an inability to sustain mental effort.

Finally, very severe mental retardation
will occur.
There can also be premature senility.

The indication that stands out most prominent
in Conium is its dizziness. It is brought on
and aggravated by turning the head sidewise

Conium causes
paralysis of the motor nerves
The paralysis and weakness spreads
from below, the lower giving out
before the upper.
The typical Conium patient is quite materialistic.
They are people who will not be involved with
philosophical or religious matters
Ars.a, Hyos, Fl.acid, Lyco
They will be loyal to you as long as they
feel you can help them and as long as
you are not hurting them. But if there is
a stage where, in their opinion, you are
not helping them enough, they will
immediately let you know, demanding
their rights. In this way,
Conium is one of the main
remedies that will suffer on the
loss of a husband or wife
Ign. And Nat.mur
also suffer.
What is the difference ?
Conium is one of the main remedies
that will suffer on the loss of the husband
or the wife, due to lack of ability for the
sexual outlet.
I just can’t
date again!
There is strong element of attachment.(Carc, Puls, Ars.alb)
The emotions are gradually weakened and
paralyzed until it is impossible to bring them
to the surface and express them.
The terrible strictness in their thinking and
acting, no joy allowed, can give me a
feeling of oppression, close to Aurum,
Carcinosin

Indifferent like stone
Conium patients tend to have compulsive
thoughts and to execute compulsive
actions.
Must not step on a crack!

THE FIRST REMEDY TO BE THOUGHT OF IN BIG DRUG USERS
Conium has a special action on the
breasts and testicles, It also exerts a
relieving influence on female breasts
which become hardened, tender and
painful just before the menstrual period.
The glands wherever affected are of
stony hardness. These indurations are
quite common in the breasts, in the testicles,
and in the uterus.
Conium affects very strongly:
- The sexual sphere.
- The mental sphere.
- The central nervous system.
Often indicated in weakness of the sexual
organs, due to bad effects from suppressed
sexual desire or from excessive indulgence.
Conium is used in patients who used to have a
normal/intense sexual life and who stopped:
• the loss of a partner
• the idea that sex is a sin
• exaggerated meditation or people who
suddenly stop their way of life for spiritual
reasons and suddenly follow a guru.
• people who are strictly religious and who are
thus celibate (priests, nuns, for other
complaints.)

It is of interest that we never have
seen a child case of Conium, and
there are no book cases where
Conium is recommended to children.

The characteristic prostate gland symptom of
Conium is a constant urge to urinate with
little or no result.
The patient has to get up at night because of
this strong urge, he has to push hard to
urinate a bit. The urination stops, while the
urge remains.
This situation can be so
serious that the patient
becomes desperate and
anxious, so that he starts
to perspire and he gets a
headache and vertigo.
Interruption of urination
is a keynote of Conium.
