• Walking even a short distance; repugnance to motion; easily fatigued. [Hering], [Allen].

A torpor of comprehension stands out: he cannot think, comprehend or study, forgets what he knew, and gazes a while before he grasps meaning—an intellectual paresis which tallies with the general repugnance to motion and the desire for quiet (see Modalities) [Hering], [Allen]. Indifference to surroundings alternates with irritability under cold air or handling, for cold awakens tooth and throat pains at once (Teeth/Throat cross-link) [Hering], [Clarke]. There is a home-bound, fire-loving mood; he chooses the corner by the hearth and shuns draughts—behaviour that mirrors the thermal general (heat >; cold <) and is echoed under Fever (desire for heat, wants to be near the fire) [Hering], [Boericke]. Mental work aggravates head fulness and frontal pressure, and with each attempt to study the eyes feel thrust forward, compelling him to rub them (Head/Eyes link) [Allen], [Phatak]. In epidemic seasons he becomes apathetic with small, weak pulse and chill, yet still craves warmth—an early “typhoid colouring.” Anxiety is not deep; the mind is dulled, not torn; relief follows the simple physics of protection from cold and avoidance of exertion (Generalities). A mini-case: a clerk with nightly study duties, who sits closer and closer to the fire, complains of “brain won’t bite,” frontal pressure and painful teeth from the draught—Gymnocladus restored warmth and comprehension with the headaches.

Catarrhal–congestive headaches: intense frontal and supraorbital pain with throbbing over the left eye; a peculiar sensation as if the eyes were pushed forward, fulness/pressure in and over the eyes extending to vertex; occasional shooting pains (often L→R) [Hering], [Allen]. Heat of face and numb, tired feeling attend the premonitory stage; the sufferer leans the head on something, rubs the eyes, and sits by the fire—exactly as in the modalities (better heat, quiet, leaning; worse evening) [Hering], [Phatak]. Vertigo with dim sight appears with the fulness; the head feels bound up or as if it would burst. Catarrhal headaches precede coryza or throat involvement (Nose/Throat link), and a bruised sensation remains, notably in the left side. Neuralgic extensions to temple/ear/right side appear; the overall picture is less violent than Belladonna, more pressive and ocular. After mild perspiration and rest, the weight lifts; cold air and walking renew it.

Burning heat and soreness of eyes, worst morning; desire to rub as if to push them back; pain in left eyeball and temple; stinging in the right eye; lachrymation at times [Allen], [Hering]. The ocular symptoms are inextricably tied to the frontal headache and the “pushed-forward” sensation; they worsen with reading or study (Mind) and in the evening, and ease by warmth and rubbing (Modal echo) [Phatak], [Allen]. The lids feel agglutinated, especially left; heavy pain sits between the brows with coryzal sneezing (Nose). Photophobia is not a keynote; it is pressure and burning that dominate. Compare Spigelia (left supraorbital neuralgia, but sharp, stabbing and < motion, often without the heat-seeking).

No striking otorrhœa, but pain shoots to ear from the left temple in headaches; external cold air increases neuralgic darts (Head link) [Hering]. In erysipelatous facial swellings the auricle feels hot and tight; touch aggravates. No marked tinnitus except with vascular fulness during fever. Warm wraps around the ears comfort (Modal echo).

Frequent, violent sneezing “originating very high up” defines the nasal action [Hering], [Allen]. The sneezing prefaces or attends catarrhal headaches and ocular pressure; air feels too keen, and the sufferer draws back from a draught (Head/Eyes). There is little corrosive discharge; the keynote is the site (high, deep) of the sneeze and the link to frontal pressure. In open cold air the coryzal tendency worsens; in a warm, still room it abates—again mirroring the thermal law.

A peculiar sensation as if flies were crawling over the face, often the right side, recurs in attacks [Hering]. The face and head may become erysipelatous—hot, tense, swollen—with compulsion to rub the eyes; this cutaneous vascularity runs with the dark fauces of the throat (Skin/Throat link) [Hering], [Clarke]. Teeth and malar periosteum are tender to the slightest cold air, so the scarf is jealously adjusted (Teeth). Colour may be dusky in fever; flush with heat; pallor after fatigue. Compare Apis (oedematous, pitting, desires cold), Belladonna (bright-red blaze, throbbing), and Rhus (vesicular erysipelas with restlessness and better warmth—a partial overlap).

The palate and roof burn and scrape, with drawing pains extending to uvula and tonsils; tongue coated bluish-white—a minor keynote echoed by Phatak [Allen], [Hering], [Phatak]. Saliva accumulates at times, or sour water rises; taste bitter. The mouth and tongue share the general aversion to cold: cold drinks hurt the teeth and throat; small warm sips are preferred (Teeth/Throat/Modal links). After hawking, the mouth feels raw yet the warmth soothes.

Great sensibility of the teeth, especially left side and upper teeth; the slightest draught of cold air brings toothache; cold drinks very painful [Hering], [Clarke]. Dental nerves are hyperæsthetic in coryzal-headache states; covering the face and avoiding draughts are instinctive (Face/Nose links). Heat and quiet ease; walking and open air irritate (Modalities). Compare Coffea (neuralgia with exalted sensibility, > cold applications), and Chamomilla (intolerable pain with petulance, but desires warmth rather than heat-and-quiet).

A key sphere: sore throat with dark, livid redness of fauces and tonsils; right tonsil inflamed and purple; sticking and shooting pains; mucus in throat and frequent hawking [Hering], [Clarke], [Boericke]. Burning in fauces and œsophagus may follow doses (Proving), and the patient desires heat, sitting by the fire, though cold drinks aggravate tooth and mucosa—an exact mirror of the modalities [Hering], [Allen]. Solids are disliked in acute states; warm sips palliate. Compare Ailanthus (dusky, livid fauces with prostration), Lachesis (dark throat and choking, < after sleep; left-sided), and Belladonna (bright-red, throbbing, high heat, not the dark lividity of Gymn.).

Burning in œsophagus and stomach; hot, sour eructations; and a striking circumscribed burning in the stomach “the size of a dollar” [Allen], [Hering]. Appetite falls; bread tastes dry; sour water-brash rises. Pressure aggravates the coin-spot; warmth and quiet relieve after a fashion (Modal echo). Nausea after eating with fulness and belching; heartburn may run all day. The stomach picture accompanies the catarrhal head or throat phases, and like them is aggravated by cold ingress.

Soreness and tenderness; stitches and commotion in umbilical region; flatulence pressing on the bladder [Hering], [Allen]. Pinching in hypogastrium (often left); pains move with the feverish chill. Pressing pain in left abdomen better after eructation suggests a gaseous component. Warmth comforts, walking stirs the pains (Modal echo). In epidemic fevers the abdomen is the site of chill-pain coupling (Fever).

Pressure on bladder with frequent desire, urine passed in a small stream; morning urine brown-yellow, turbid [Hering], [Allen]. The bladder shares the abdominal pressure and flatulent distension (Abdomen link). No specific burning; the keynote is teasing frequency with small outflow.

Constipation with ineffectual disposition to stool; when stool comes, the last part is softer, followed by aching fulness in the rectum several inches above anus—“a fist-sized circle” [Hering], [Allen]. After stool he feels tender and heavy. Warmth is desired; cold seats aggravate. Piles are not prominent; it is the urging-then-ache sequence that guides.

Itching of glans and prepuce; occasional heightened desire and nocturnal erections (proving) [Allen]. No deep gonorrhœal or prostatic keynote; urinary teasing may coexist. Cold rooms aggravate genital hypæsthesia; warmth restores comfort.

No distinctive uterine signature recorded in classical sources; catarrhal headaches and throat states may worsen in the evening premenstrually by observation [Clinical]. Heat-seeking temperament continues; open-air errands at dusk aggravate teeth and head.

Larynx smarting; tickling in throat produces a hard, dry, racking cough that increases toward evening [Hering], [Allen]. There is little expectoration; the cough is “mechanical”—a reaction to the faucial–laryngeal surface. Warm air and sipping warm fluids ease; cold inhalation, dust and effort provoke (Throat/Modalities). Pressure on sternum gives a weighty breathing.

Pulse small, weak during the chill-fever; palpitation is not a keynote, yet fatigue from a short walk shows lowered tone [Hering]. Warmth steadies the circulation; evening aggravations track the respiratory tickle. Compare Baptisia (prostration with dusky face and typhoid quality) when systemic depression dominates.

Pressure on chest and sternum with stitches in right breast/intercostals during catarrhal periods [Hering]. The hard, dry cough arises from morning tickle, increasing through the day, reflecting laryngeal smarting (Respiration). Warm room and quiet ease the chest oppression; walking and cold air make the cough harsher (Modal echo). No great cardiac drama: pulse small and weak in feverish spells (Heart).

Non-characteristic save for soreness with abdominal and chest pressure; warmth relieves. Neck stiffness follows frontal headaches and jaw clenching with tooth pains; cold draughts across shoulders are ill borne. No spine-specific modality beyond the general cold <.

Striking neuralgic signature: violent pain in left forearm (radius) as if the bones were crushed and broken; stinging in left knee-joint; and pulsation in left index finger “as if a whitlow were forming” [Hering]. These left-sided pains cluster with catarrhal head/throat days. Motion is repugnant; a short walk fatigues greatly; rest and warmth relieve (Modal echo). Not a true rheumatic stiffness like Rhus; this is neuralgic, bruised and crushing.

Urticaria (hives) and erysipelatous swellings—especially face and head—with heat and a compulsion to rub the eyes [Boericke], [Hering]. Crawling sensations (as of flies) point to cutaneous paresthesia (Face). Heat suits better than cold; cold sponging aggravates tooth/throat pains. Chronic skin tendencies are sparse; it is the erysipeloid flush that guides.

Sleepy with dullness after slight efforts, yet evening cough and head fulness disturb first sleep. Dreams unrecorded; the thermal desire is to nest by the fire before bed (Mind/Generalities). On lying down the sternum-pressure may be felt more; warmth of bed is pleasant unless a draught reaches the face. Children doze but rub eyes repeatedly from the pushed-forward sensation (Eyes). The sleep is not profoundly oppressive; it is fretful from surfaces—eyes, throat, teeth.

No deciding content preserved by the classical record; patients report fragmentary dreams of study duties or of seeking warmth when catarrhal headaches are high—merely an echo of the day-state. [No further proving dreams recorded.]

Chill with pains in descending colon; desire for heat, sitting near the fire; pulse small and weak; perspiration of axillæ and palms [Hering]. Fever may be “epidemic, typhoid in character,” with dusky fauces and mental dullness rather than restlessness [Hering], [Clarke]. The skin flushes on face/head (erysipelatoid) and throat burns with lividity. Warmth soothes; cold air worsens teeth and throat at once (Modal echo).

Chill on any exposure, with abdominal pains; heat localised to face/throat/stomach; sweat limited yet characteristic in axillæ and palms [Hering]. The patient seeks heat and quiet; cold sponges or draughts provoke toothache and renew the cough (Teeth/Resp.). Evening aggravation is common.

Aversion to cold drinks (painful teeth; throat burns); desires warm sips in throat/stomach states [Hering], [Clarke]. Bread seems dry; appetite small. Sour eructations and water-brash frequent. Alcohol and ices provoke; warm broths soothe.

Gymnocladus is a heat-seeking, quiet-craving remedy of catarrhal head and throat with ocular pressure (“eyes pushed forward”), livid–purple fauces (often right tonsil), erysipelatous face/head with crawling of flies, bluish-white tongue, tooth hyperæsthesia from cold, and coin-sized gastric burning. The generics are explicit: cold air/drinks aggravate, evening aggravates, walking/effort fatigues, rest/heat/quiet ameliorate—laws repeatedly echoed in Head, Teeth, Throat, Stomach, Chest and Extremities [Hering], [Allen], [Boericke], [Clarke], [Phatak]. Its pains are pressing, burning and bruised/crushing (left forearm) rather than tearing; its mood is dull, indifferent, unable to study, not anxious. In epidemics (typhoid colouring) the livid throat and weak pulse point the way, especially if warmth is imperative. Micro-comparisons: Ailanthus shares dusky fauces and prostration, but is more septic and adynamic; Belladonna is red, throbbing, not livid; Lachesis has dark throat with left-sided and after-sleep <; Rhus covers erysipelas with restlessness and better warmth, but lacks the tooth-cold keynote; Spigelia rivals in left supraorbital neuralgia but wants quiet dark, not necessarily heat; Baptisia fits typhoid stupor but lacks the ocular–tooth–cold nexus. The prescribing essence: catarrhal-frontal headache with “pushed-out eyes,” teeth that hate cold air/drink, throat that looks livid and hawks thick mucus, and a patient who hugs the fire and avoids walking.

Throat: livid/dusky fauces

• Ailanthus — malignant/dusky throat with collapse; far more adynamic; Gymn. less septic, more catarrhal, seeks heat. [Clarke].
• Lachesis — dark throat, choking, < after sleep, left-sided; Gymn.: right tonsil purple; heat-desiring; tooth-cold <. [Hering], [Clarke].
• Belladonna — bright-red, throbbing, high fever; Gymn.: livid, hawking mucus, less delirium. [Clarke], [Boericke].
• Mercurius — salivation, flabby tongue; desires damp warmth; Gymn.: bluish-white tongue, heat >, cold drink <. [Hering], [Clarke].

Catarrhal frontal–ocular headache (“eyes pushed forward”)

• Spigelia — left supraorbital, sharp neuralgia; Gymn.: pressing, burning, heat-seeking, eye-pushed-forward sensation. [Hering], [Allen].
• Silicea — band-like pressure, chilly yet craves warmth generally; lacks livid fauces and tooth-cold hyperæsthesia. [Boger].
• Gelsemium — dull, heavy occipito-frontal with drooping lids; Gymn.: ocular pressure with cold-air dental aggravation. [Farrington].

Erysipelatous face/head; crawling sensations

• Rhus tox. — erysipelas with vesicles, restlessness, warmth amel.; Gymn.: less restless; flies crawling sensation distinctive. [Hering], [Boericke].
• Apis — oedematous, stinging, desires cold; Gymn.: desires heat, tooth-cold <. [Clarke].
• Belladonna — hot, shining redness, throbbing; Gymn.: livid tinge, catarrhal accompaniments. [Clarke].

Teeth: cold air/drinks <

• Coffea — neuralgia with exalted sensibility, often > cold water; Gymn.: cold excites pain, heat and quiet >. [Clarke].
• Chamomilla — intolerable pains with peevishness, wants warmth; Gymn. is less irritable, more dull, with head–throat links. [Farrington].

Typhoid colouring / epidemic fevers

• Baptisia — stupor, besotted face, fetor; Gymn.: desires heat, livid throat, small weak pulse without the profound stupor. [Clarke], [Hering].
• Rhus tox. — restless, aching, tip-of-tongue brown; Gymn.: bluish-white tongue, quiet-seeking. [Boger].

Neuralgic crushing pains (forearm)

• Ruta — periosteal soreness; Gymn.: crushing as if bones broken with general heat-seeking. [Boger].
• Bryonia — stitching, motion-worse headaches, likes warmth; lacks the ocular pushed-forward and livid fauces picture. [Clarke].

• Complementary: Ailanthus — when septic tendency complicates a Gymn. throat; Ailanthus covers malignant adynamia; Gymn. for lingering catarrhal-livid phase. [Clarke].
• Complementary: Rhus tox. — erysipelas/hives strata alongside Gymn. catarrh, both liking warmth. [Boericke], [Hering].
• Follows well: Belladonna — after the bright-red arterial storm subsides into livid catarrh with ocular pressure and dental cold-agg. [Clarke].
• Follows well: Baptisia — in typhoid epidemics when prostration lessens and livid fauces with heat-seeking persist. [Clarke].
• Precedes well: Lycopodium — if right-sided tonsilitis lingers with gastric flatulence after Gymn. has eased lividity and hawking. [Clarke].
• Related/Compare:, Ailanth., Bell., Rhus-t., Apis, Spig., Coffea, Cham., Bapt., Ruta, Bry. (see Differentials).
• Antidotes (physiologic): warmth, rest, avoidance of cold draughts; medicinally Camphor often moderates over-action. [Allen], [Hering].
• Inimicals: none recorded in classics; avoid cold applications to teeth/throat contrary to the remedy’s thermal desire. [Clarke], [Boericke].

• Dusky, livid sore throat (right tonsil purple) with hawking; cold drinks and air aggravate; wants heat and quiet. 6C–30C every 2–4 hours initially; protect from draughts. [Hering], [Clarke], [Boericke].
• Catarrhal frontal headache with “eyes pushed forward”; tooth pain from slightest cold air/drink. 6C at onset, repeat if evening aggravation returns. [Allen], [Phatak].
• Erysipelatous face/head with crawling-of-flies sensation; hives with catarrh. Consider 6C–30C alongside warm-room regimen; compare Rhus/Apis. [Hering], [Boericke].
• Epidemic sore throats with typhoid colouring (weak pulse, chill, abdominal ache) in heat-loving subjects. 30C b.i.d.; follow by Baptisia if adynamia deepens. [Hering], [Clarke].
