The agricultural revolution ended the wandering life of the hunter gatherer. To care for our fields we had to settle, and hence for the first time humans put down roots and built homes that would last through generations. It is hardly surprising that home and family are central themes in the Poales. The surfeit of food post agricultural revolution enabled the hunter gathers to specialise in tasks and professions. Without wheat (or rice or corn) there would have been no full-time musicians, artists, stonemasons and the Taj Mahal would never have been built. Without wheat there would have been no prison warders, soldiers, tax collectors or bankers and the atomic bomb would never have existed.
The yin yang balance was changed forever. Previously the women
would stay close to the camp, caring for children and sourcing food locally. The men would go out and hunt. Agriculture meant both sexes spent the days bent double over the earth caring for wheat.
The concept of the hearth and daily bread come into existence. Wheat allowed human society to follow the path of the radioactive energy that was always its essence. We are enjoying the benefits and paying the price of that path now. Indeed, we are perched on a precipice where we evolve and save the world or disintegrate. I think it is very significant that Triticum vulgare (modern wheat) shares the rubric Dreams of explosions, atomic bombs, with Agaricus, Plutonium nitricum, Ozone and even more significantly Lac humanum.

Main Themes of Poales
• The nurture of the parents.
• Family and ancestral roots.
• Rooted and grounded.
Home.
Versus
• Lack of balance, uprooted, the feet being particularly affected.
• Disconnected from family and culture.
• Am I being supported by my family?
• Great and potentially early
responsibility for the family (aur, carc) possibly with loss of identity.
• Seeking safety within marriage and family, or the desire to escape this.
• Ailments from the loss of family support or a friend.
• Often needy and childish often accompanied by a feeling of abandonment and unreciprocated love.
• There may be excessive need for attention, self- centredness.
• Difficulty moving from a
receiving child to a giving
parent. • • Comfort eating and other
addictions in response to • the feeling of being
forsaken. •
• There is a fundamental
sense of lack creating an
inner vacuum. •
• 'My roots have been taken
away and there are no reserves • and I am empty and sad.'
• Poor temperature regulation
• Many digestive and •
metabolic problems.
• Particularly problems with •
wheat and sugar – diabetes. The issue of energy is often mentioned. Weakness. Hormonal problems and often an excessive sexuality. The nervous system is extremely sensitive like a premature infant.
Burning stabbing and tingling sensations.
Fluid excesses with affinity to the kidneys, mucous membranes, bladder. Nasal and respiratory allergies.
Foot pathology.
The entire consult might be about food!
