Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Adonis vernalis (Adon.)

Adonis vernalis (Adon.) appears in 17 rubrics in the repertory. There are no single-remedy rubrics and no small rubrics with at most two other remedies; the data are thin. The rubrics revolve around Discontent, Restlessness, Fear, and a rush of thoughts that prevents sleep.

Unrest and Ill Humor

The basic trait is an ill humor that extends to everything: the repertory records discontent with everything, morose manner, and sadness. To this is added an anxious restlessness and a fear that rises from the stomach. Thoughts crowding in rob sleep. Beside them stand an inner feeling of emptiness, stupefaction, inclination to alcohol, and, as a counterpole, a sense of aesthetics as well as promiscuity.

Summary

No more than a tinge can be read from so few rubrics: a discontented, inwardly restless person whose thoughts do not come to rest and whose emptiness demands stupefaction or stimulation.
