Low Energy Men Homeopathy — Dr. Vandna Kanani

The most important constitutional remedy in low energy men homeopathy for the man whose chronic low energy is embedded in a broader constitutional metabolic and vital insufficiency — the overweight, constitutionally chilly, slow man who has never had the constitutional energy levels that his age and circumstances should provide. Calcarea carbonica is constitutionally the most deficient of all constitutional types — his vital force produces too little of everything: too little energy, too little metabolic efficiency, too little hormonal output. He perspires constitutionally about the head during sleep leaving the pillow damp. He tires from any exertion, is constitutionally anxious about his health and fears the future. The combination of chronic low energy in an overweight chilly man with head perspiration during sleep, constitutional health anxiety and the characteristic Calcarea carbonica metabolic sluggishness identifies this remedy as the primary constitutional low energy men homeopathy prescription for the Psoric deficiency constitutional type.

For low energy in the man whose constitutional vital force depletion is primarily in the nervous system — the neurasthenic picture of Kali phosphoricum, where prolonged intellectual overwork, anxiety, examination pressure or sustained mental performance demands have constitutionally exhausted the nervous system’s vital reserve. The Kali phosphoricum man is constitutionally thin, constitutionally better from gentle movement and fresh air, constitutionally worse from mental exertion and worse in the morning. He was constitutionally energetic before the prolonged intellectual or emotional drain — and the constitutional fatigue has a clear precipitating cause of overwork or anxiety. Nervous diarrhoea from anxiety. Marked morning worse. The combination of mental overwork origin, nervous system depletion, worse in the morning and the characteristic Kali phosphoricum nervousness and anxiety identifies this remedy in low energy men homeopathy.

For the constitutional debility following any significant loss from the body — blood loss (post-surgical, haemorrhagic), fluid loss (prolonged diarrhoea, profuse sweating), seminal loss or chronic discharge. The China constitutional debility is characterised by the constitutional exhaustion being disproportionate to the apparent cause — the man feels as if every ounce of constitutional energy has been drained, with ringing in the ears, extreme sensitivity to touch and pressure on any part of the body, and a constitutional periodicity to all symptoms. This is the constitutional debility of the man who was previously well and became constitutionally depleted following a clearly identifiable loss. The combination of post-loss constitutional debility, ringing ears, extreme sensitivity and the characteristic China periodicity identifies this remedy in low energy men homeopathy.

For the constitutional low energy that follows profound grief or emotional depletion — the man who becomes constitutionally apathetic and indifferent following a major emotional loss, bereavement or disappointment. The Phosphoric acid constitutional picture has the characteristic feature of the mental depletion preceding the physical — this man’s mind became constitutionally exhausted first, and the physical fatigue followed. Constitutionally indifferent — he knows he should care but cannot find the constitutional energy to do so. Hair becomes thin and grey rapidly during the depletion. Frequent, debilitating urination. The combination of emotional trigger, mental exhaustion preceding physical fatigue, constitutional indifference and the characteristic Phosphoric acid rapid constitutional ageing following the emotional loss identifies this remedy in low energy men homeopathy.

For the constitutional low energy with the characteristic Gelsemium heaviness — the constitutional fatigue that feels like flu without the fever. The Gelsemium man is constitutionally heavy — his eyelids are heavy, his limbs are heavy, his whole constitutional vital force is weighted down by a constitutional drowsiness and heaviness that resembles the prodromal phase of an illness that never fully develops. Constitutionally thirstless despite the weakness. Constitutionally dreads any ordeal or effort — not from anxiety like Lycopodium but from the constitutional heaviness that makes every exertion feel constitutionally disproportionate. Anticipatory heaviness and diarrhoea before any performance. The combination of flu-like constitutional heaviness, drowsiness, thirstlessness and the characteristic constitutional dread of any sustained effort identifies Gelsemium in low energy men homeopathy.

For the most profound constitutional vital force depletion in low energy men homeopathy — the Muriatic acid picture of a man who is so constitutionally depleted that he slides down in his seat and cannot hold himself upright, whose jaw drops constitutionally from the weight of constitutional exhaustion. This is the constitutional remedy for extreme debility following prolonged and severe illness — the man who has been constitutionally drained by cancer treatment, severe infection, or prolonged hospitalisation and who cannot constitutionally rebuild the vital force through conventional nutrition and rest alone. The combination of extreme constitutional debility, inability to maintain upright posture, and the history of severe prolonged illness or treatment identifies Muriatic acid in severe cases of low energy men homeopathy.
