Arsenicum iodatum (Ars-i)

Arsenicum iodatum (Ars-i) appears in 136 rubrics in the Repertorium. Of these, 5 are single rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 3 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis is on Children, which are represented most strongly with 16 rubrics, and also on Anxiety, Colors, Fear and Restlessness. The picture is that of a restless, sensitive person who reacts strongly to property and colors and feels insecure in clothing and warmth.

Children and restlessness

The rubrics on Children are the largest group. A single rubric describes tearing at objects from restlessness: "Tears things – objects, tears – restlessness, from". Restlessness is recorded in six rubrics, sensitivity to impressions in four. The child thus shows a restlessness that expresses itself in tearing.

Anxiety and warmth

Anxiety is recorded in six rubrics, and a single rubric ties it to the bed and bed warmth. Fear is recorded in six rubrics. The Delusions concern clothing that seems to be on fire or seems to be cold.

Colors and property

Colors are recorded in six rubrics, and a small rubric describes the desire for lemon-yellow things: "Desires – lemon yellow". A single rubric concerns fussiness about one's own property. Indifference is recorded in five rubrics, and a small rubric relates it to happiness.

Summary

Arsenicum iodatum appears in the Repertorium as a remedy whose rubrics comprise above all Children, restlessness and anxiety. Colors and property form fields of their own, and warmth and clothing enter in the Delusions. The picture is that of a person who wavers between an impulse to destroy, worry and indifference.
