Aqua marina (Aq-mar)

Aqua marina (Aq-mar) appears in the repertory in 136 rubrics. Of these, 4 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 8 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Anxiety, which with 20 rubrics forms the largest main rubric, followed by Delusions, Fear, Memory, and Thoughts. The picture is that of an anxious person who feels estranged from the self and whose anxiety is tied to particular circumstances.

Anxiety and Circumstances

The anxiety is recorded in twenty rubrics and tied to particular circumstances. A single-remedy rubric describes anxiety when driving or riding, another anxiety when speaking. A small rubric records anxiety in the afternoon between 2 and 4 p.m., another anxiety in company. The anxiety is ameliorated by cold drinks.

Wind and Perspiration

A single-remedy rubric describes fear of wind blowing directly on the head: "Wind, fear of – blowing directly on head". The anxiety is also connected with perspiration, and fear occurs in nine rubrics, among others in connection with perspiration. The body is thus a part of the picture of anxiety.

Estrangement and Delusion

A small rubric records the feeling of being estranged from oneself: "Estranged – self, from". Delusions are recorded in 16 rubrics; a single-remedy rubric concerns the idea of being invisible. Memory appears in six rubrics and thoughts equally often.

Summary

In the repertory, Aqua marina appears as a remedy whose anxiety is tied to circumstances such as driving, speaking, wind, and time of day. The delusion of being invisible and estrangement from the self complete the picture. The rubrics on memory and grief show that the experience also works on in thoughts and recollection.

All rubrics of this remedy, the materia medica and the case work are in Rathmer’s Repertory.
