Clarity and Intoxication: The Proving of Amethyst

Summary

Five different groups of students of the Homeopathy School of Colorado proved this remedy over a period of five years. A strong resemblance to the substance was evident in dreams of caves, crowded rooms, levels of high and low, up and down and openings with light. Mental themes relating to the substance include extreme clarity, a feeling of being drunk, and excessive mental energy. The list of physical symptoms is substantial; the proving showed Amethyst's strong affinity for head pains, female symptoms and nerve involvement of the extremities.
