Coquettish:
a.
Coquettish
is the adjective of the noun Coquette, a young, flirtatious woman. Coquette is
the feminine diminutive of the French word “coq”, which means cockerel or
rooster. The word was originally to the
men in the form of coquet to express how men would strut to attract women the same
way roosters do to attract hens. Using coquet for a flirtatious male is now
rare, but the feminine version remains.
b.
A
woman tries to gain the admiration and affections of man for mere self
gratification; a flirt.

characteristic of every female person. They don’t have a usual attractive
behaviour or make up that is exhibited by a normal woman in order to be looked
attractive.

Remedy Pictures in details:
STAPHISAGRIA: INDIFFERENCE AFTER MASTURBATION. The patient
is moody, depressed, prefers solitude, is shy of the opposite sex. Continually
concerned about future. Hence, the patient may not have interest on his
appearance.
SULPHUR: People that
need Sulphur will tend to hate to bathe, and they can be dirty and unwashed.
They will hate to do house cleaning. On the flip side, they can wear strange or
eccentric clothing. They are sensitive to odors. They may even have a
disgust of body odor whether in themselves or others.
2.Coquettish,
too much: This
is applicable only in case of female person. They have a tendency in excess to
attract attention of men with their seducing behaviour or sex appeal ( like by touching
hairs, by sex talks etc). It is normal for a woman if she likes to take make up
and behave in an attractive way in order to exhibit her sex appeal. But it is
much more than that which is not accepted by the society.

LACHESIS:
Lachesis
person can be interested in the beauty of nature, in amusement, and their
speech can be magnetic. The main theme
of Lachesis is show. The ideal situation that would best bring out this feeling
for a Lachesis patient would be a beauty contest. She would try to beat the
competition through any means.
For the
Lachesis, a healthy sexual spere is key to their balance, it is reference point
to their life. If they have an attractive sex life, then everything in their
life flows. They will be more focused , motivated and energized. If their
libido is low, they start to dress drab, withdraw and express a lot of tension
and anger. Female Lachesis in balance will often dress in a sensual and sexual
manner, they dress like this because it is their nature to want to attract
attention in that manner. It is not that they need to go out and seek men for
sexual purpose, they just enjoy that attention and focus from men in a social
setting. Sometime Lachesis who are oblivious to themselves and the way they
dress can appear like mutton dress as Lamb (Dr. Sephera Light).
PHOSPHORUS: PHOS woman attractively coquettish manner and
knew well how to elicit the admiration of men. They dress with taste, at times flamboyantly,
their cloths reflecting the artistic, Bohemian vein that runs through the type.
In a dance or gymnastics class, the women will take a position nearest the
mirror so as to admire her throughout the drill, thus deriving extra enjoyment
from the class. Indeed, the phosphorus narcissism may manifest itself in a
liking for mirrors; these individuals, both male and female, will have a number
of them distributed around the home. A phosphorus woman may be inordinately
afraid of growing old. She cannot accept philosophically the diminishing of her
good looks.
PLATINA:
Main
theme of remedies is, Egotism , superiority complex, high sexual desire. They
dressed flamboyantly, sensually. “Hollywood” types; dark sunglasses. It is the
key remedy for public figures ( actors, teachers, and politician) who
constantly want to “polish their image”.
VERATRUM
ALBUM: VERAT sings obscene songs, thinks lewd
thoughts, and exhibits immodesty. The patient does not want to cover his
private parts, kick off the cloths and lies naked on the bed and exposes the
person. Kissing everybody before menses, dislikes talking except in delirium.
Nymphomania and satyriasis.

Remedy Pictures in details:
PHYTOLACCA: Indifference
to life. Loss of delicacy, complete shamelessness and indifference to exposure
of her person.
PSORINUM: PSORINUM
is closely allied to SULPHUR the patient dreads to be washed. The skin over the
body, especially of the face, looks filthy, though it has been well washed. A
dingy, dirty, foul look, as if covered with dirt. Skin rough and uneven, cracks
easily, bleeding fissures; it becomes rough and scaly. He cannot wash it clean.
The skin of the hands is rough, chaps easily, becomes thick and scaly, easily
cracks, breaks out in little scaly eruptions; looks unwashed; he always appears
to have dirty hands.
SULPHUR: The classical
drug-picture of sulphur as a dirty-looking, shoddy personality, wearing
tattery, worn-out clothes, with unkempt hair, is a portrait of yore. In modern
times you won’t find such a beast among you or in your vicinity, except in
lunar asylums. At best one can say that such a description of
sulphur-personality means, in modern times, a person who does not care much
about his appearance.
4.Tidy:
The person those who are looking clean &
neat in appearance and dressed in nice fashionable cloths especially in a
formal way is called as smart and tidy (c/f Fastdious).
Remedy in Essential Synthesis: bar-c, carc.
CARCINOCINUM:
In
Carc. You will usually find a history of domination, demanding parents,
demanding partners, or too much responsibility at a young age. Children who
keep their room in a non-childlike tidy order - by themselves [!] – something
easy to elicit by the homoeopath. Their parents have told them that only then
they are o.k. Those are children,
parents are proud of, as they are well-behaved, easy to handle, orderly,
prudent, social, etc.
5.Mind;
Tidy, appearance, in one’s personal: bar-c.
BARYTA
CARBONICA: "Instead
of just wanting to look desirable, as is seen in the first stage of pathology,
the insecurity about their body image may become an obsession over their weight
and appearance, leading to anorexia. Or they may spend inordinate amounts of
time and money to become as beautiful and perfect as possible. ... I've had
quite a number of Baryta carbonica patients whose main problem was anorexia.
They just refuse to eat because they have such a poor image of their bodies.
They will do almost anything if they think it will make the body look better.
They won't eat. They will spend incredible amounts of money on clothing or on
all kinds of facial surgery. It can become an absolute obsession to look
good." (Dr. Frans Vermulen).
