Kali carbonicum 10X–Symptoms of anemic weakness are most prominent in the head (difficult recollection, vertigo, insomnia) and as to heart where stitches and weakness predominate; back feels bruised, extending into extremities, and causes fatigue. Due to disturbed circulation, there is “flying heat” and inclination to swellings. General condition worse in early morning.
Kali phosphoricum 6X–Here also nervous exhaustion predominates, caused by overwork or weakening sickness. Pressing headache, also at night causing insomnia. This, as also poor memory and vertigo with weak vision, all due to brain anemia with general exhaustion. Weakness of extremities, bladder and sexual organs. The sensation of hunger, returning soon after eating, is to be similarly evaluated, as also inclination to easy perspiration.

Lumbar region weak and feels heavy, extending into legs with formication. Every exertion causes palpitation. Sexual excitement but indulgence is followed by exhaustion and pressing headache. Aggravation from heat (especially sun) and thunderstorms.
Natrum muriaticum 10X–Well-characterized in patients of irritable, depressed mood, disinclined to talk. Pressing headache and lameness along spine with trembling legs, especially after intercourse. Palpitation worse from motion; the vasomotor debility is expressed by cold extremities and general chilliness, both are partly due to anemia.

Patients of irritable moods with inclination to hypochondriasis; head dull; vertigo. Sleep disturbed by exciting dreams and early awakening, when symptoms are better.
If then the patient goes to sleep again the symptoms reappear in aggravated form with aversion to mental and physical occupation; back feels as if broken. The latter symptoms may be
due to gastro-intestinal involvement (especially obstipation and haemorrhoids), or also stem from the sexual organs which may incline to frequent, usually early morning, pollutions with aggravation of all complaints. Increased libido minus power may be present.

Piper methysticum 4X–Pressure in head with vertigo, the latter worse when closing eyes, all as a result of mental over- exertion.
Plantago major 4X–It is limited here in its action on the uropoietic system (nocturnal difficult micturition or tenesmus of bladder, diminished sexual desire with nocturnal emissions).
Platina 10X–Mental irritation from sexual organs (abstinence, masturbation) leading, aside from psychic irritation, to circulatory injury (oppression of chest with palpitation, heat and pallor alternate) and to paresthesia in back and lower extremities.
