Phosphorus

Core Essence: A theme of Diffusion Diffusion is the core concept of the Phosphorus pathology. There is a spreading out from the individual to his outside world, like a tea bag diffusing uniformly into hot water. The same happens to the energy, the awareness, the emotions, and even the blood of the Phosphorus patient. Likened to the bubbles of a soda, they are bubbly, out-going or extroverted. In later stages, the patient is so sensitive to outside stimulation that the distinct desire for company is lost. s more and more of the inner vitality is lost, so as the !bubbly! and sparkling nature.The patient prefers to be alone " is intolerant of strangers. Central Picture: Adapted to tall slender persons of sanguine temperament, fair skin, delicate eyelashes, fine, blond, or red hair, quick perceptions, and very sensitive nature. The Oversensitivity of all his senses to external impressions, light, noise, odors, touch renders him to be restless and fidgety, moving continually and cannot sit or stand still. There is no filter or barrier hence the physical, emotional, and mental nature of the Phosphorus patient is susceptible to all kinds of influences. Physically, almost any in#ury or tension results in haemorrhage$ this arises due to sheaths of the blood vessels being weak and allowing the blood to diffuse into surrounding tisssues easily. %motionally, the Phosphorus patient&s feelings spontaneously go out toward other people without the aptitude for any reservations thus leaving the patient defenceless and emotionally vulnerable. 'entally, the patient simply forgets himself as he focuses outwards to the extent that he becomes diffuse, unfocused, and disoriented.
