Repertory › Remedies in the repertory
Ammonium bromatum (Am‑br.)
Ammonium bromatum (Am‑br.) appears in the repertory in 57 rubrics. Of these, 2 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 2 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The data are slim; the emphasis is on Fear and Delusions, beside which stand Mistakes in acting and a desire to bite.
Fear and restlessness
Both single-remedy rubrics concern the fear of suffocation and link it with motion: whoever feels it must walk about, "Fear – suffocation, of – walk about, must." Anxiety thus drives into restlessness, and movement becomes the means of escaping it.
Delusions
The two small rubrics lead into delusional images. Someone stands behind the person and looks over her shoulder, and all kinds of things spring up from the floor before her. Both images describe a surrounding that suddenly comes too close.
Summary
From the few specific rubrics emerges a person whose fear is physically constricting and drives to restlessness, and to whom the surroundings come threateningly close. The data do not suffice for a broader picture.
All rubrics of this remedy, the materia medica and the case work are in Rathmer’s Repertory.
