Aceticum acidum (Acet-ac)

Aceticum acidum (Acet-ac) appears in 131 rubrics in the repertory. Of these, 7 are single-remedy rubrics listing only this remedy, and 9 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Delirium, which with eleven rubrics forms, together with Children, the largest main rubric, as well as on Anxiety, Fear, Memory, and Delusions. The picture is that of a person who worries, wards off touch, and whose confusion is linked with digestive complaints.

Worries and Memory

A single-remedy rubric records that the person always has problems and worries unnecessarily: "always has problems, worries unnecessarily". Memory is recorded in seven rubrics, and a small rubric describes that the person does not recognize his own children. Worry and forgetting thus occur together.

Delirium and Digestion

Delirium is connected with the abdomen in five rubrics. A single-remedy rubric records delirium alternating with stupefaction, another links it with distension of the abdomen and constipation. The digestive disorder is thus woven into the confusion, and the delusions concern the stomach, said to be eaten away by an ulcer.

Touch and Defense

Aversion to touch is explicitly recorded. A small rubric describes that the person does not want to be touched, namely on the head, in children. The defense is thus directed against closeness, even toward one's own children, who appear in the rubric on recognition.

Summary

Aceticum acidum appears in the repertory as a remedy of worry, confusion, and defense. Delirium alternates with stupefaction and abdominal complaints; the delusions revolve around the stomach. Aversion to touch and failure to recognize the children form the interpersonal part of the picture.
