1. Calcarea internal feeling with Nux vomica or Sulphur external picture is

Lycopodium. It is 350 million years old huge tree. Yet it has survived despite all
the geological and climatic changes. Over the years it reduced to a fern called
Club Moss.
Sulph  Calc.Carb.  Lyco  Sulphur  Calc.Carb.  Lyco. This is the
cycle to be follwed. At any cost this cycle should not be disturbed.
If disturbed it may cause adverse effect.

 Sulphur Calcarea Carb.

Lycopodium

In this cycle of Calc.Carb.  Lyco  Sulphur if Lyco leans towards Calcarea,

he is more apprehensive, slower, insecure feeling. If Lyco leans towards
Sulph., he is confident, assertive, intellectual, egoistic and energetic.

2. Lyco person looks cool and composed, pleasant, self-contained and reserved,
Has got capacity to adapt to changing scenario and varying environments. He
knows how to survive in changing scenarios and situations. He is very
diplomatic. It is very difficult to understand what is there in his mind.
3. Quite Contradictory attitudes: Egotism --- Cowardice,
Headstrong --- Lack of confidence,
Dictatorial --- Timidity.

4. Scared of superiors or strong persons and very obedient to them. Very rude
and dictatorial towards people on whom he can command or weak persons
(subordinates or family members who are depending on him). Fear of
breaking down under stress.
5. Lack of faith in his own abilities. So, lack of self-confidence. This is mainly

Dr. GVC - HSRF Homoeopathy For Every Home (Lessons – 49 to 54) Page 3 of 20
 due to pressure of parents to perform well in studies and all other activities in
childhood. Struggle to achieve to be respected. So, anxiety to perform and
fear of failure.
6. Fear of undertaking new challenges, facing new situations and meeting new
people. Aversion to change the job, change the house, change the place etc.
Develops anticipatory anxiety due to lack of confidence. Fears others may
observe his weakness and hides it. Outwardly puts up show of braveness.
7. Cannot bear least contradiction. Dominating, dictatorial. Family members are
oppressed. Where ever possible he will try to dominate and dictate. If it is
not possible he will be submissive or friendly. Emotionally he is not much
attached.
8. Lyco depends on people, but he does not want people to depend on him.
Fear of responsibility. Nux does not depend on others but likes others to
depend on him. Nux wants responsibility. Lyco want to escape from
responsibility. He always pushes his responsibilities on others.
9. Fear of being alone and wants company of known person at least in beside
room. It is miserable to be among unknown people. Nux Vom. can be alone

10. He is impatient and hurried. Cannot wait. Does things fast but not necessarily
in an orderly manner. Anxious to complete the task and come out of it.

12. Nux wants to reach higher position by his sheer ability, hard work and
intelligence. He commands the people with his own capability. Which class

Dr. GVC - HSRF Homoeopathy For Every Home (Lessons – 49 to 54) Page 4 of 20
 of our society he belongs? -- Executives. Nux Vomica is more rash, more
adamant, more forceful and expressive. More impulsive and more explosive.
13. Lyco is reluctant for arguments or negotiations. If there is some discussion
and opposite party makes some strong point, Lyco will walk out. He
withdraws from unproductive situations. He wants to be like stately
ambassador whereas NM insists upon arguing or fighting, even a losing battle
to the bitter end.
14. He is clever at avoiding direct confrontation. He diverts the topic. Even in the
house he does not like confrontations.
15. He avoids rupturing relationships. Discord or breaking with others is
undignified and below his reputation. Feels that he will not be respected.
16. He can enjoy having heated debates with opponent in the courts, board
meetings, parliament or assembly and later he can sit with his opponent,
making lots of jokes and enjoys the company of opponent leaving
professional rivalry aside.
17. When forced to change his opinion, he justifies it, “What I said yesterday was
for yesterday and today is different”. -- Politicians
18. He overlooks past discords and does not brood on past unpleasant incidents.
NM broods on it. He looks forward for new life. His philosophy is that more
can be achieved by mending than breaking.
19. He makes a point of maintaining social harmony by forgiving and forgetting.
If needed Puls and Lyco can apologise. Lyco apologises to maintain harmony.
But he does not believe that he is wrong. Puls apologises because he cannot
take the risk of breaking the relationship as he is depending on the other
person.
20. Lyco likes to receive compliments or appreciation or flattery. Likes to be
honoured and recognised as leader.

Dr. GVC - HSRF Homoeopathy For Every Home (Lessons – 49 to 54) Page 5 of 20
21. He takes credit for the good work done by others or for any success.
22. He makes others as scapegoats for his own incapability or failures.
23. He boasts and makes promises for which he does not feel responsible.
24. He does not believe anybody easily. He is very suspicious. He does not want
to tell the truth. He tells what the others like. He will not reveal easily what
is there in his mind. Secretive.
25. He will prepare well for any type of public performance. He believes he can
perform better than anybody else. But he fears that his memory will fail, he
may not perform well, his self-esteem may suffer and he may lose his
prestige.
26. So, has fear before appearing in public. Anticipatory apprehension prior to
performance. But he performs very well. Still next time he will have same
fear. Lyco is handsome and clean. Puls is pretty. Phosphorus is attractive.
Arsenic is aristocratic.
27. If he is sick, wife has to do lot of service to him. If his wife is sick he is not
concerned. His day to day needs to be attended by her, otherwise he
becomes irritable. He is very selfish and no emotional attachment.
28. When he comes to a Homoeopath as a patient, it is very difficult to extract
proper information from him. He does not give much information about the
illness, aggravations, ameliorations, likes and dislikes. He says “I eat all types
of food, I can bear all types of weather, that is not a problem, this is not a
problem, I can manage, I have got only this problem and give medicine only
for this” etc. For any question he gives round about answers and confuses the
Doctor. Doctor gets confused and exhausted. He has tendency to exaggerate
his illness.
29. Has high selfesteem. Believes that he knows best at all times. He feels that he
is a right thinking person. Sulph will also have this type of feeling but less

Dr. GVC - HSRF Homoeopathy For Every Home (Lessons – 49 to 54) Page 6 of 20
 stronger than Lyco. Arsenic feels “I am always right”. Has an aggressive
overtone, which is uncharacteristic of Lycopodium.
30. He does not want any type of changes. This contradicts our earlier
understanding of adaptability. This is the complexity in him. He is adaptable
at larger issues, but conservative about habits, diet, health, family etc.
31. When situation changes, he will also change. He does not become confused
like Phos or split like Lachesis or lost like NM. He is stable and balanced.
32. If there is some problem, what will Ars. Alb and Nux do? They think how to
solve the problem? But Lyco thinks how to avoid the problem or does not
feel that there is a problem. Keeps it aside. It will get solved on its own.
33. Lyco parent defends bad behaviour of his or her child and finds fault with
other children. He is fault finding natured.
34. Speaks with an air of command. If required he will accept compromise to
achieve his goal. In dealing with other people he does not expect very high.
He is more realistic about others’ limitations. He is more practical. He believes
that ‘A bird in hand is worth two in the bush’. He tries to manage with the
men and material available.
35. In contrast to this Ars.Alb and NM have high expectations. Leaving one bird in
hand try to catch two in the bush. They will be left empty handed.
36. So, his lower and realistic expectations facilitate smooth and easy
relationships.
37. He is a very diplomatic manager. If he feels that his subordinates will not
obey him, then he will not push them to work very hard or expect more and
more like Nux, Ars.Alb or NM. So they feel comfortable to work under a Lyco
person.
38. He underestimates his opponents or others intellectual capabilities. He thinks
he is more capable than others.

Dr. GVC - HSRF Homoeopathy For Every Home (Lessons – 49 to 54) Page 7 of 20
39. Very stable and balanced person. He is called moderate. Lyco makes himself
likable and respected by others. He want to be good with everybody and goes
out to please others. He usually has number of known people rather than few
close friends of NM.
40. Though he is not so close to the friends he gives more importance to the
friends than family. Very courteous and gracious. He is sportive at failures.
But feels others are responsible for his failures. He feels that he is born under
lucky star. He believes in his luck and fortune.
41. He plans well for the success. He succeeds well in academic career and
personal relationships but not much attached. He uses others for his success
and may not bother about them if they are not useful anymore.
42. Lyco person with positive attitude is a grateful person. He remembers the
favour done by others and returns when he gets an opportunity. He is
affected by gratitude as well as ungratefulness of others. He weeps while
watching sentimental scenes of both joy and sorrow.
43. Lyco personalities, puts up a good show. They achieve top positions as
politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, heads of religious, educational, social,
political institutions and business houses. These people will have all the
qualities required to run prestigious institutions. They inspire the trust &
confidence, reliability, shows authority and adaptability.
44. Where it is a necessity he is organised, neat and clean. Otherwise he is
disorganised, unclean, lazy and negligent.
