The Immortal Jellyfish


If a remedy of this little creature - Turritopsis nutricula - hasn't been proven I believe it's time. Who knew an animal actually exists that defies death and reverts to a colonial polyp stage to start again. Incarnation without demise!

Rajan Sankaran has recently put out a book on mollusks, and though this creature isn't a mollusk it would be an interesting addition to the book.

This remedy could be the ultimate sea remedy combining the themes. According to Massimo Mangialavori the link between sea life and the uterus is clear - how does an animal who lives in the sea and keeps reverting to infancy relate homeopathicaly to a human? Would it have medusa themes as the two creatures are related?

Sea remedy themes include isolation, difficulty communicating, aversion to company, desire for solitude, mood swings, issues of independence and dependence, grief, sadness, and depression

I challenge someone to do a proving of this remedy and I would love to help you out.

I picked the idea of "a safe environment" in Massimos description of Medusa, another Jelly.

They seem to like to be a bit independent - but like a youngster who's happy because mom's not too far away!

He also talks about motion and artistry.
