Information

Substance information

A sarcode prepared from human breast milk, potentised according to homoeopathic pharmacopeia. Human milk contains lactose, fats, oligosaccharides (HMOs), hormones (notably oxytocin and prolactin), growth factors, and immunoglobulins (esp. secretory IgA) which shape infant attachment, immunity, sleep–feeding rhythms, and gut–brain signalling; these biological signatures are reflected metaphorically in the remedy’s mental and physical themes of bonding, belonging, boundaries, nourishment, and rhythm [Vermeulen], [Herrick], [Sankaran], [Sherr]. Clinical usage often centres on difficulties around mother–child bonding, adoption/orphan themes, identity and social belonging, milk tolerance (paradox of craving vs aggravation), and sleep fragmentation in carers and children [Bailey], [Morrison], [Shore].

Proving

Modern provings (trituration and formal) and extensive clinical confirmations since late 20th century; key contributors include Sherr, Herrick, Norland, and Sankaran. No Hahnemannian-era data; the picture rests on [Proving] records and practice-based [Clinical] literature [Sherr], [Herrick], [Sankaran], [Bailey], [Morrison], [Shore], [Vermeulen].

Essence

The organising polarity is nourishment and belonging versus shame and performance: “If I am good, helpful, undemanding, perhaps I will be loved.” The psyche longs for secure attachment—the felt sense of being held, fed, and wanted—yet experiences ambivalence about boundaries: comfort in closeness when chosen, aversion when touch or duty is coerced [Bailey], [Sankaran]. This yields carers and children who present as good, polite, easy, or high-performing, but whose bodies speak a different story: milk paradox (desire vs aggravation), eczema, glue-ear, rhinitis, colic, globus, and fragmented sleep echo the missing rhythm of early co-regulation [Herrick], [Morrison], [Vermeulen]. The state is relational rather than merely temperamental—improving dramatically when needs are named, rituals are established, and consent in touch is honoured.

Miasmatically, Lac-h. often wears a cancerinic tint: pleasing others, self-erasure, and relentless duty as currency for belonging [Shore], [Bailey]. Yet beneath that sits a psoric hunger to be loved as one is, and a sycotic excess in mucus/skin secretions when needs are unmet. Clinically, listen for biographical pivots: adoption, early hospitalisation (incubator/NICU), abrupt weaning, migration (“mother-land” torn), parental illness, or caregiver burnout. Speech and dreams circle tribe/outsider, tables and songs, milk and feeding, being on the list vs left out. The organism is exquisitely tunable—to cues, to odours, to lights and voices—until overstimulated; then it withdraws into polite distance or tears. The remedy unfurls when the four chords sound together: 1) Bonding (ache to belong; “good child/carer”), 2) Boundaries (consented touch vs aversion), 3) Milk (desire ↔ aggravation; lactation issues), and 4) Rhythm (sleep–feed disarray, better ritual). Prescribed on this coherence, Lac-h. often unlocks stalled paediatric and parental cases and reveals the deeper constitutional layer that will hold the cure. [Herrick], [Sherr], [Sankaran], [Bailey], [Morrison], [Shore], [Vermeulen].

Affinity

  • Bonding/Attachment axis (psyche) — longing to belong vs fear of not fitting in; adoption/orphan themes; “good child” compliance masking unmet need. Guides case direction in Mind, Sleep, and Generalities. [Sankaran], [Bailey], [Herrick].
  • Breast & lactation — milk flow, let-down reflex, mastitis tendency under stress and resentment; nipple pain/aversion paradoxically with craving for closeness. See Female/Chest. [Herrick], [Morrison].
  • Gastro–enteric / microbiome — milk intolerance vs desire; colic, reflux, mucus stools in infants and adults “since weaning/after dairy.” See Stomach/Abdomen/Rectum/Food & Drink. [Morrison], [Vermeulen].
  • Skin–immune — infant-type eczema, intertrigo, cradle-cap analogues; flares around separation stress or dietary dairy. See Skin. [Herrick], [Vermeulen].
  • Sleep–circadian — fragmented cat-nap rhythms (carers/infants), night waking for reassurance/feeding; better with predictable ritual. See Sleep. [Sherr], [Herrick].
  • Throat/voice — lump/“cry held back,” inability to ask for needs; hoarseness after long caring nights; better gentle warmth and soft liquids. See Throat. [Bailey], [Herrick].
  • Back/shoulder girdle — nursing/holding posture pains; dorsal and cervico-thoracic fatigue; better supportive embrace or heat. See Back. [Herrick], [Shore].
  • Endocrine–neuropeptide tone — oxytocin-style themes: trust vs suspicion, bonding touch desired yet overwhelming when unreciprocated or coerced. See Mind/Generalities. [Sankaran], [Herrick].
  • Grief/Separation — never well since weaning, adoption, NICU separation, loss of mother/motherland; identity diffuses. See Mind/Generalities. [Bailey], [Shore].
  • Social nervous system — over-attunement to others’ needs; hyper-vigilant caretaking; exhaustion with resentment. See Mind/Sleep/Heart. [Bailey], [Vithoulkas].

Modalities

Better for

  • Gentle holding/embrace when invited/consented; secure base restores calm. [Herrick], [Bailey].
  • Predictable routines/rituals (feed–sleep–wake cycles, bedtime stories, lullabies). [Sherr], [Herrick].
  • Warmth to chest/back (shawl, hot bottle), especially in nursing strains. [Herrick], [Shore].
  • Soft foods/warm beverages (broths, warm milk substitutes) in throat/oesophageal irritation. [Morrison].
  • Company of trusted people / safe group (tribe) vs strangers. [Bailey], [Sankaran].
  • Singing/humming, quiet music—soothes mother–child dyads. [Sherr], [Herrick].
  • Expression of need (naming hunger/comfort), tears permitted—relief after crying. [Bailey].
  • Fresh, slightly cool air with comfort wrap; ventilated, calm rooms. [Herrick].
  • Regular light meals; avoiding long fasts and sugar surges. [Morrison].
  • Skin-to-skin contact on own terms; respectful touch. [Herrick].
  • Early nights + structured naps; co-regulation improves sleep. [Sherr], [Herrick].
  • Warm shower across shoulders (carer back/neck pains). [Shore].
  • Probiotics introduced gently in milk-intolerant gut pictures. [Morrison].
  • Occupational pacing; sharing caregiving duties. [Bailey].

Worse for

  • Separation / weaning / adoption stress; NICU separation; rejection. [Bailey], [Sankaran].
  • Criticism / shame (not “good enough” parent/child); performance-bonding dynamics. [Bailey], [Shore].
  • Crowds / strangers—social over-arousal; “don’t belong” feeling. [Sankaran].
  • Night waking; broken sleep; overtired infant/carer loops. [Sherr], [Herrick].
  • Dairy (variable)—milk/cream provoke bloating, mucus, eczema even when craved. [Morrison], [Vermeulen].
  • Heat and stuffy rooms—infant rash, fretfulness; adult headache. [Herrick].
  • Lonely eating / eating on the run—indigestion, reflux. [Morrison].
  • Noise/harsh light/odours—nursery/ward overstimulation. [Sherr].
  • Harsh schedules / loss of rhythm—jet-lag, shift work. [Herrick].
  • Unwanted touch/pressure—aversive; boundary breach. [Bailey].
  • Postpartum depletion / iron-low states—milk/skin flares. [Morrison].
  • Suppression of tears/needs—globus, chest tightness, palpitations. [Bailey], [Herrick].
  • Damp cold on chest/back—mastitis tendency. [Herrick].
  • Conflict at table/family—appetite dysregulation in children. [Sherr].

Symptoms

Mind

Core portrait is the belonging–identity axis: an ache to be held, seen, and included, set against a fear of rejection or of not being “good enough” to deserve care [Bailey], [Sankaran]. Many describe adoption/orphan feelings—out of place in family, school, culture; they work hard to perform belonging (polite, helpful, top marks) while privately hungry for simple, unconditional closeness [Bailey], [Shore]. Boundaries are ambivalent: they want touch/merging when safe and invited, but feel invaded by unsolicited demands; resentment accumulates in dutiful carers who never ask for help [Herrick]. Criticism pierces quickly, evoking shame and a wish to withdraw; approval briefly soothes but does not fill the underlying need (Cancerinic hue) [Sankaran], [Bailey]. Themes of mother–child and tribe–outsider reappear in language and dreams; patients may say, “I don’t know where I belong,” or “I must be good to be loved” [Herrick]. Children present as good babies/good students, then melt down at home; adopted or NICU-separated children often echo the pattern, responding when their need is named and the environment becomes rhythmic and predictable [Sherr], [Bailey]. Anxiety is relational (fear of being left), rather than object-phobic; anger is soft—hurt withdrawal more than explosion. Relief follows permission to need, tears, and held boundaries: “I can say no and still be loved” [Bailey], [Herrick]. [Proving]/[Clinical].

Sleep

Fragmented sleep in carers and high-sensitivity children: multiple wakings, quick dozes (cat-naps), hyper-arousal to small noises; best with consistent pre-sleep rituals (bath, story, song), co-regulating touch when invited, and a cool, dark, ventilated room [Sherr], [Herrick]. Babies wake to check connection, not just for calories; once settled in a predictable pattern they consolidate longer cycles. Adults fall asleep on the sofa then wake wired at 2–4 a.m.; guided breathing and permission to hand off the load restores sleep. [Clinical].

Dreams

Strong attachment imagery: nursing, searching for mother/tribe, lost in a crowd, not on the class list, rejected by family, or being the good baby whom everyone praises but no one holds; also dreams of rescuing/wet-nursing abandoned infants [Herrick], [Bailey], [Sherr]. On improvement: being held, welcomed home, singing together at table. [Proving]/[Clinical].

Generalities

Axis of nourishment–belonging–boundaries: need to be held and fed (physically/emotionally) in a predictable rhythm, yet able to say no without losing love [Bailey], [Sankaran]. Better: invited touch/embrace, ritual, warm supportive environments, soft foods, fresh air, naming needs, short restorative naps; worse: separation, criticism/shame, crowds/strangers, broken sleep, stuffy heat, dairy (often), suppression of tears/needs. Physically the picture spans breast/lactation, milk intolerance, eczema, nursing back/neck strain, globus, and sleep fragmentation; psychologically it is the “good child / good carer” who over-performs to belong. When prescriptions by polychrests stall in such terrain, Lac-h. frequently unlocks the case and reveals the deeper constitution (Sep., Nat-m., Puls., Calc-c., Carc., etc.). [Herrick], [Sherr], [Bailey], [Morrison], [Shore], [Sankaran].

Fever

Low-grade evening fevers in teething infants; settle with embrace and fluids. Milk-rash/heat rash during febrile phases in stuffy rooms. Adults: “viral-like” tiredness after run of night wakings. [Clinical].

Chill / Heat / Sweat

Chilly with emotional emptiness; warms quickly when held. Infants sweat on head while feeding; prickly heat in overdressed rooms (worse heat). Carers sweat with anxiety during separations; cool air helps. [Herrick], [Sherr].

Head

Headaches from over-care and broken sleep—band across forehead or occiput into shoulders; worse stuffy rooms, noise, late nights; better fresh air, a warm shower, and a short nap [Herrick], [Shore]. Faintness when meals are skipped (feeding others first); steadies after warm drink and food (Food & Drink cross-ref.). Smell sensitivity in wards/nurseries triggers nausea–headache; quiet ventilated rooms help [Sherr]. Cognitive fog on days after multiple night wakings; clears as routine stabilises. Head heat in crying children; cool compress with holding calms (Mind/Sleep echoed). [Clinical].

Eyes

Irritation and grittiness after night vigils; lids puffy, tearful when shamed or overtired; tears relieve chest tightness (Mind/Heart link) [Herrick]. Photophobia in over-lit rooms; prefers soft, warm light. Babies rub eyes before feeds/sleep; better after nursing or cuddle. Occasional conjunctival mucus in dairy-aggravated children; resolves with diet/rhythm. [Proving]/[Clinical].

Ears

Noise sensitivity (crying infants, alarms) heightens irritability; carers feel “wired.” Serous otitis and glue-ear in dairy-sensitive children, improving with diet and remedy—parallel to Lac group patterns [Morrison]. Earache at night with desire for holding and lullaby; pain eases when settled into parent’s chest (Mind/Better holding). [Clinical].

Nose

Clear to whitish mucus, worse dairy, worse night waking; post-nasal drip with throat clearing in carers speaking softly for long periods [Morrison], [Herrick]. Infants snuffle while feeding, frustrated at the breast then soothed by upright cuddling and nasal toilet. [Clinical].

Face

Open, biddable expression; blushes easily under praise or correction (shame). Eczematous patches around mouth/cheeks in dairy-linked children; better saliva barrier creams, worse heat [Vermeulen], [Herrick]. Lips dry after long consoling; sips relieve. [Clinical].

Mouth

Aphthae when run down; tongue pale with indentations in exhausted carers. Babies clamp or bite at nipple when frustrated or overtired; maternal aversion or pain feeds mutual dysregulation until rhythm re-established. Desire for warm drinks; aversion to ice-cold. [Morrison], [Herrick].

Teeth

Teething children want skin-to-skin and soft rhythmic rocking; diarrhoea/eczema flare with dairy (if formula introduced). Bruxism in adults after duty-filled days; eases with debrief and cuddle. [Clinical].

Throat

Globus—“cry stuck in throat; can’t ask for help”—with frequent throat clearing; better naming the need, warmth, and sips (cross-ref. Better soft warm drinks) [Bailey], [Herrick]. Hoarseness from night soothing; voice soft, lullaby pitch. Sore throat after exposure to air-conditioned wards; better scarf warmth. [Clinical].

Chest

Tightness on suppressing tears; sighing improves once held; palpitations on hearing baby cry or when criticised as “not good enough” [Bailey]. Milk-let-down reflex pains when hearing another infant cry—oversensitive attunement. Dyspnoea in stuffy rooms; needs fresh air. [Clinical].

Heart

Palpitations with separation anxiety or when performing goodness; pulse settles after reassurance and rhythm restoration. Warm, steady contact (hand on sternum) calms—the oxytocin signature [Sankaran], [Herrick]. [Clinical].

Respiration

Shallow when rushing or people-pleasing; deepens with humming or rocking; carers often hold breath without noticing. Infants over-breathe while upset, then settle suck–swallow–breathe once held. [Sherr], [Herrick]. [Clinical].

Stomach

Hollow, hungry yet nauseated—especially in carers who postpone meals; better warm soups and being sat down with company (not eating alone) [Morrison]. Milk may be desired yet disagrees: bloating, nausea, sour eructations; some crave milk when lonely; others are averse (polarity) [Vermeulen], [Herrick]. Reflux in infants; arching, fretful, settle when held upright and paced feeds. Odour sensitivity (antiseptics, nappies) triggers queasy flutter; fresh air helps. [Clinical].

Abdomen

Infantile colic: drawing up legs, red-faced crying, passes wind, then sleeps when held against a warm chest; parental calm co-regulates [Sherr], [Herrick]. Adults: bloating after dairy/sugar, worse lonely eating, better warm teas and companionship. Periumbilical aches during separation anxiety (“school belly”). Soft stools alternate with mucus in dairy-linked cases; improve with dietary adjustment. [Clinical], [Morrison].

Rectum

Infants—yellow, seedy stools; mucus with dairy intolerance; perianal soreness in heat. Older children—urge before school/separation; stool normalises once settled. Carers—constipation from skipped urges, then loose stool under stress. [Morrison], [Herrick]. [Clinical].

Urinary

Frequent small urinations in anxious children; enuresis around transitions (new school, adoption finalisation), improved by reassurance and bedtime ritual. Carers delay voiding; develop cystitis-like irritation in dehydration; better fluids and rest. [Clinical].

Food and Drink

Desires: milk (warm), porridge, soft sweet foods (comfort eating), warm soups. Aversions/Aggravations: dairy may aggravate—bloating, mucus, eczema—despite desire; iced drinks aggravate throat; solitary eating aggravates digestion. Better shared meals, warm simple food, avoiding late sugar. [Morrison], [Vermeulen], [Herrick].

Male

Fathers with over-functioning carer roles—tender yet ashamed to ask for rest—palpitations, indigestion, insomnia; better shared duty and permission to need care [Bailey]. Libido sinks with exhaustion, returns with rhythm. [Clinical].

Female

Lactation: let-down inhibited by resentment or fear; milk over- or under-supply according to stress; mastitis tendency when boundaries ignored and rest denied; better warmth, rest, and emotional permission to decline visitors [Herrick]. Aversions to nursing may alternate with craving closeness; guilt cycles break with clear boundaries. PMS marked by weepiness and “no-one cares for me” feeling; better embrace and naming needs. Postpartum depletion, baby blues from sleep loss respond well when the Lac-h. state is clear. [Morrison], [Herrick], [Shore].

Back

Cervico-thoracic and interscapular strain from holding/feeding postures; better warmth and supportive seating; worse night feeds in poor chairs [Shore], [Herrick]. Low-back ache in parents carrying toddlers; responds to paced sharing of load and remedy. [Clinical].

Extremities

Trembly fatigue in forearms/hands after long carrying; paraesthesias from wrist posture; improves with rest and warmth. Cold feet at night; want warm socks. Children cling—“velcro” arms—during separation stress. [Clinical].

Skin

Eczema in infant–child terrain, cheeks/flexures, worse heat and dairy, better emollients and rhythm; flares at separation [Vermeulen], [Herrick]. Intertrigo under breasts/axillae in carers; sweat rash in stuffy rooms. Urticaria around criticism events (psychoderm). [Clinical].

Differential Diagnosis

Milks (Lac group)

  • Lac-maternum — composite late-gestation milk; broader perinatal/regression themes, cosmic gestation imagery; Lac-h. centres social belonging, “good child,” tribe/outsider, dairy intolerance polarity. [Sankaran], [Herrick].
  • Lac-can. — praise/approval seeking with alternating sides, submissive–appeasing tone; Lac-h. less fawning, more shame-performance and boundary need. [Bailey], [Morrison].
  • Lac-fel. — feline territory/itch, hair-in-throat, stretch relief; Lac-h. lacks feline sensorium, emphasises bonding/tribe. [Herrick].
  • Lac-defl. (skimmed cow’s milk) — migraine, constipation, sea-sickness; less social-bonding axis; cravings for milk with strong aggravation; Lac-h. adds identity/belonging and mother–child field. [Morrison], [Vermeulen].

Mother–child / belonging

  • Sep. — aversion to family from depletion; chilly, better exercise; Lac-h. wants connection but needs consent and rhythm; shame–goodness theme. [Bailey], [Morrison].
  • Nat-m. — reserved, grief, aversion to consolation; Lac-h. actually wants holding when safe; shame and performance to belong. [Bailey].
  • Puls. — mild, weepy, needs company; soft, warm; Lac-h. more conflicted boundaries, dairy polarity, cancerinic duty. [Morrison].
  • Carc. — perfectionism, duty, suppression, love conditional on performance; overlaps strongly; Lac-h. adds milk intolerance/eczema and explicit belonging themes. [Shore], [Bailey].
  • Mag-m. — mother–child separation grief, craves tenderness; more hepatic/constipated; Lac-h. broader tribe/identity and lactation affinity. [Morrison].
  • Mag-c. — abandoned child theme with gastric flatulence; less breast/lactation and sleep-care loops. [Morrison].

Sleep-depleted carer state

  • Coffea — over-excited, sleepless from ideas/joy; Lac-h. sleepless from duty, infant cues, belonging anxiety. [Morrison].
  • Nux-v. — irritable overwork with stimulants; Lac-h. seeks warmth/holding and rhythm rather than harsh drive. [Vithoulkas].
  • Kali-ph. — nervous exhaustion; less bonding polarity; Lac-h. adds milk/eczema axis. [Morrison].

Dairy/GI/skin

  • Aethusa — violent milk intolerance with vomiting in infants; mental stupefaction; Lac-h. is gentler with bonding themes. [Morrison].
  • Calc-c. — sweaty head, milky child, security needs; more fear-based structure; Lac-h. focuses shame-belonging and boundary paradox. [Bailey].

Remedy Relationships

  • Complementary: Sep. (restores boundaries and autonomy after Lac-h. opens bonding field). [Bailey].
  • Complementary: Carc. (when duty/perfection overlays remain after bonding needs addressed). [Shore], [Bailey].
  • Complementary: Nat-m. (to process grief once connection feels safer). [Bailey].
  • Follows well: Aethusa or Calc-c. in infant milk intolerance when bonding/identity motifs persist. [Morrison].
  • Follows well: Puls. when neediness softens but shame–belonging conflict remains. [Morrison].
  • Precedes well: constitutional polychrests (Sep., Nat-m., Puls., Calc-c., Phos., Sulph., Carc.) after the Lac-h. layer is resolved. [Bailey], [Shore].
  • Related: other Lac remedies as state remedies along development (Lac-maternum perinatal; Lac-can. approval dynamics; Lac-fel. feline territory). [Sankaran], [Herrick].
  • Antidotes (clinical): rest, shared caregiving, permission to express need; medicinal antidotes not specific. [Clinical].
  • Inimical: none recorded; avoid routine alternation among lacs without indication. [Morrison].

Clinical Tips

  • Snapshot: “Good child/carer,” shame around expressing need; wants holding when invited; milk paradox; eczema/glue-ear/colic; broken sleep; better ritual, song, and consented touch. Think Lac-h. [Herrick], [Bailey], [Morrison].
  • Potency/usage: For state layers, 30C daily for 3–5 days then stop and observe; or 200C single dose in clear portraits. Infants/very sensitive—6C or LM micro-dosing. Repeat only on clear relapse. [Sherr], [Vithoulkas].
  • Infant care: Upright paced feeds, protect sleep rhythm, cool dark rooms; consider dairy reduction if eczema/rhinitis present. [Morrison], [Vermeulen].
  • Carer care: Share night shifts, schedule permission to rest, warm showers for back/neck, name the need. [Shore], [Bailey].
  • Sequencing: If perfectionism/duty persists, follow with Carc.; if detachment/aversion to family persists, follow with Sep.; if grief blocks, Nat-m. [Bailey], [Shore].

Case pearls

  • Adopted child, “good at school,” night wakes to check parent; eczema, dairy love–hate; Lac-h. 200C single dose → sleep consolidated, eczema eased, began to ask for hugs. [Clinical: Herrick].
  • Post-partum mother, mastitis with resentment, shame for needing help, globus; Lac-h. 30C tid × 2 days + boundaries → pain and let-down normalised, mood lifted. [Clinical: Morrison].
  • Father carer, palpitations and insomnia from night vigils; “must be strong”; Lac-h. 200C once → sleep improved, could request shared duties. [Clinical: Bailey/Shore].
