Arsenicum sulphuratum flavum (Ars‑s‑f.)

Arsenicum sulphuratum flavum (Ars‑s‑f.) appears in 169 rubrics in the Repertorium. Of these, 12 are single rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 2 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis of the specific rubrics is on Delusions and Fear, and also on Anxiety, Laughing and Loquacity. From them results the picture of a mind that alternates between opposites.

Alternating opposites

Almost all single rubrics are alternation rubrics. Moaning alternates with laughing, malice with loquacity, liveliness and cheerfulness with muttering and grumbling. The mind holds no state; it jumps between complaint and gaiety, devotion and spitefulness.

Fear, anxiety and delusions

Fear concerns torture and the attack after a fainting spell; as anxiety stands the feeling of becoming faint, after fainting. Among the Delusions are dancing while walking up and down, and the feeling of having to fly. In addition come two peculiarities connected with eating: work is impossible afterward, and mental exertion aggravates.

Summary

Arsenicum sulphuratum flavum appears in the Repertorium as a remedy of rapid changeability. The data of the specific rubrics are scant; they chiefly support the idea of an unstable mind swinging between laughter and lament.
