INTRODUCTION

• Lachesis is derived from the poison of the Brazilin bushmaster or surukuku. One of the most poisonous and aggressive snakes found in the western hemisphere. Lachesis is called “THE MASTER OF FOREST”. Lachesis was discovered by the Dr. Constantine Hering in 1828. During the drug proving, Hering proved it on himself and his students eliciting 3,800 symptoms.

LOQUACITY

• Lachesis has one of the most characteristic feature is Talks a lot. The repressed or tense Lachesis individual is often easy to spot on account of the speed with which she speaks. Bushmaster has unending flow of words is the classic sign of an emotionally unfulfilled or creatively thwarted personality. Lachesis has mental hyperactivity compensates for the “heavily repressed emotions”, and inhibitions are released in an “unusual desire to be communicative”. Lachesis loquacity of the male is usually lower-keyed.

SEXUAL TENSION

• Lachesis people are highly sexed & when they make love, they are very passionate. Sex is not only enjoyable for Lachesis; it also relieves tension. As sexual tension arises, Lachesis becomes more and more hurried, in thought, speech & action. Lachesis is generally a quick individual, even the relaxed Lachesis has a quick mind. In Lachesis sexual tension is one of the most characteristic feature.

HURRIEDNESS

• In Lachesis as sexual tension rises, it become more & more hurried in thought, speech and action. If tension increases furthermore, it becomes impossible for the Lachesis individual to maintain orderly thought process. Lachesis speech may start reasonably slowly, and get faster & faster until it is unintelligible in some cases.

JEALOUSY

• Lachesis emotions are quite strong; quite attached to people and objects. This attachment is strong, so we get pathological conditions of jealousy. A false idea of loving oneself- the other person is connected becomes an object. If fears that he may love this object of pleasure, then you get this jealousy. During the jealous phase they have suspicion; imagining. Sexual jealousy is the commonest form seen in Lachesis people, since sexual desire is usually their most intense attachment. In some cases, jealousy totally unrealistic, can dominate the relationship to the point where it threatens its every existence.

  ANGER

• In Lachesis connection between sexuality and anger is seen more clearly in women. There are two reasons where Lachesis easily gets affected – 1. sexually repressed. 2. woman’s sexual feeling tend to very with her hormonal status. Lachesis woman are prone to premenstrual tension, in the form of anger, oversensitivity to rejection, and weepiness.

EGO

• Lachesis people are usually the more extroverted type, and most are male. Lachesis persons become angry when they are criticised, when there are criticised system of medicine what they practice, and what the work they do. Lachesis people are proud, extroverted as pleasant as long as he is the centre of attention, but will become bored when he has to take a passive role, and resentful if his own high opinion of himself is threatened.

How the Lachesis childhood looks –

• The birth of Lachesis is a ‘blue’ baby – asphyxia neonatorum. They look thin, tiny infant with red hair and freckled face. During the dentition of Lachesis baby, they attended with fever and convulsions, and every attempt to walk is scarred with septic wounds. Lachesis child has sibling render, the birth of sibling lead to child insecure. Hence defiantly urinating and defecating in the floor, the child may fall into the habit of handling genitals. So that he gets attention than sibling.

LACHESIS IN ADOLESCENCE

• LACHESIS BOY – He as anew thrill seems to absorb the growing adolescent and it is the growing sexual awareness. with a keen sense of pleasure and relief, the adolescent boy secretly explores the pleasure of masturbation. Brilliant in comprehension, always a lap ahead, he is full of projects and schemes. Lacking ability to perform anything in orderly manner. He has many affairs and addictions, ending migraine, hypertension, myocardial infarct and diabetes.
• LACHESIS Girl– She will be the headmistress of a girl’s school, social worker, or the favoured secretary of a cabinet minister. She is aggressive, good sense of responsibility. Lachesis woman may make a good wife, but not a beloved, as she lacks that uncommunicable, enchanting, mystic femineity.

LACHESIS IN OLD AGE

• In Lachesis retirement means loss of power.
• LACHESIS MALE – Lachesis frets and fumes till he gets purple and puffy, drowns himself in alcohol, suffers from apoplexy, paralysis and cirrhosis of liver.
• LACHESIS WOMAN – she gets jealous of her youthful daughter-in-law and creates hell for her. Because she wants to looks more pretty than her. The suppressed unconscious emotions, like evil spirits, continually boring from within, permit her no peace. A “theatrical” Lachesis dyes her hair, visits health clubs and beauty salons- in her desperate struggle to hold on her slipping youth.
