SOMETHING ABOUT CHINA
(PART I - RELATIONSHIP AND GLIPMSE OF MIND)

PARTIALLY SIMILAR to Nux-v, Lyco, Chel and Nat –m.With only temporary or partial improvement after these remedies think of China. (Dr.Franz Vermeulen)

China was the first remedy proved by Hahnemann, but Vithoulkas' observations elucidated the personality of the remedy. The China patient is introverted, intense and 'touchy'. The internal sensitivity is similar to Natrum Muriaticum; the tendency to take offense is more reminiscent of Nux Vomica. This combination of sensitivity, idealism and extreme touchiness makes China a useful remedy in teenagers. (Dr.Roger Morrison)

It is difficult to make contact with China patients because they don’t like superficial contacts and can be abusive, impolite and inconsequential in answering questions. They will open up when they feel real interest and sympathy (Dr.Ghegas)
Even the physical modality reflects this... Slight touch aggravates but hard pressure ameliorates

Touchy = easily offended
