From Lycopodium clavatum, wolf's claw club moss. The homeopathic remedy is made from the powdery spores, which have the property of floating on water and flaring up when sprinkled on a naked flame.
Constitutional Indications The Lycopodium type usually has a handshake which is so firm that it hurts, and a haughty, unfriendly air; other characteristics are leanness, a stooping posture and an unhealthily sallow skin, often with many lines and wrinkles. Such people tend to gravitate towards politics, teaching, the law and the priesthood. |
