Barium sulphuricum (Bar-s.)

Barium sulphuricum (Bar-s.) appears in 115 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 1 is a single-remedy rubric in which only this remedy is listed, and 0 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Fear, Anxiety, and Starting (easily frightened). The data on specific rubrics are thin.

Fear of Conversation

The only single-remedy rubric concerns fear of conversation. It fits in with the rubrics on Timidity and Bashfulness and on Speech and Voice, each represented three times: meeting others is experienced as a burden.

Fear, Anxiety, and Fright

With 12 entries Fear stands at the top, followed by Anxiety with 10. Ailments from a particular cause occur six times, easy fright five times. Added are Confusion of mind and Delusions with four entries each, as well as Desire for something, which is listed three times. The picture emerges of a person who is easily frightened, becomes insecure in exchange with others, and quickly becomes confused in thinking.

Summary

Reserve and shyness toward conversation form the recognizable line; it is carried by easy fright and anxiety. Because specific rubrics are almost lacking, the drawing remains cautious.

A reference work for professionals; it does not replace diagnosis or treatment.
