Dr. Hering, who first proved LACHESIS, could never tolerate ti | Homeopatia Brasil

Dr. Hering, who first proved LACHESIS, could never tolerate tight clothing about his neck. He always wore his collars loose. He noticed that during the proving, this symptom annoyed him more than usual, so he faithfully made note of the occurrence, but did not place much value on it. Since then, the symptom has been confirmed many times in practice, and has been found true, not only as a local symptom of the neck, but as a symptom of the body universally. The explanation seems to be that there is an irritation of the peripheral nerves, and because of this, the patient cannot bear touch or slight pressure. It is no evidence of inflammation, and must not be confounded with the inflammatory soreness of ACONITE, ARNICA, or BELLADONNA. This sensitiveness also differs from that of APIS which has a bruised sore feeling more acute than that of ARNICA. It also differs from the sensitiveness of NUX VOMICA and LYCOPODIUM which have it about the waist only after a meal.
