Information about the agent
How do you recognize patients who need Coffea?
The most striking feature of Coffea is a pronounced sensitivity to pain, which can increase to hypersensitivity. All his senses are heightened; He is constantly (over)active both mentally and physically and reacts to environmental stimuli such as noises, smells, shock, joy or anger with great excitement.
Coffea – Adults are more scrawny than slender, often stoop, and blush with any emotion. You have an easy mind and are very sensitive to sensory input. Especially happy events or impressions influence the patients a lot. They then react overly sensitively and nervously.
Coffea children are tall, thin, and often dark in complexion. They are very sensitive, easily influenced and therefore also very anxious. Because of their many fears, the children are very cautious and avoid dangerous situations and games. Coffea children are on the one hand shy and compliant and on the other hand they can be moody and react with anger. They are very creative, have lots of ideas and do everything they can to make their ideas come true. If something doesn’t go the way they imagined, they quickly feel unloved and to blame for the failure.
