General Appearance

he plant looked weak with washed-out colours. [she] had no idea why this normally so robust plant was in such a bad state. .. Lycopodium 30 C, is indicated for puny plants with premature yellowing of the leaves. She watered the whole plant with 4 globules dissolved in 1 litre of water, repeated a week later. After the first application the plant immediately began to grow again. Its glorious colours have gradually returned and it has now regained its previous splendour. (496)

A vigorous 20-cm-high specimen of plume poppy was planted in spring in an optimal location with compost-enriched earth. Despite good conditions the plant remained puny and weak, though without any obvious signs of disease. In June [she gave] Lycopodium 30 C and Calcium carbonicum 30 C... [for] failure to thrive. The two preparations were applied with the watering can, alternately every one to two weeks. This noticeably encouraged growth so that the plant grew to a height of 1.20 m by spring. This year it has grown higher than my head and looks strong and imposing. (496)

If Rhus Tox. has been successful Lycopodium can finish off well (337)

Against fleas that attack cats and dogs (Ctenocephalides) I have found that Lycopodium 30c administered orally is the only remedy needed. I have confirmed this result with dozens of animals of various ages and with various pathologies. I administer Lycopodium either as a dry dose or mixed in food and water once a day. During the first week of treatment, what I find is that the fleas begin to move in a very lethargic way. They essentially stop jumping. In about a week, there are still a few fleas moving around the floor, but there are none on the animals themselves. After two weeks, there are no more fleas. I have been handling the cases of these animals for two years now and the fleas have never come back. In addition, the animals go up in level of health after this treatment. My results suggest that not only does Lycopodium treat infested animals, but the remedy can also be used to stop flea eggs from hatching around homes and gardens. (1101)
