Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Bismuthum subnitricum (Bism.)

Bismuthum subnitricum (Bism.) appears in the repertory in 155 rubrics. Of these, 4 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 5 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Clinging, Anxiety, Fear, Starting and Children. Together they form the picture of an anxious person who does not want to be alone and holds on to others.

Clinging and being alone

Clinging, with fourteen rubrics, is the largest group. Fitting this is a small rubric describing fear of being alone and demanding light and company. Further rubrics concern touching, being touched and desire for company.

Anxiety and fear

Anxiety reaches the point of panic: a small rubric reads "Anxiety – panic". A single-remedy rubric combines fear with pain in the abdomen. In children, fear in the Ars. state is listed. Starting, startled, is frequent, and irritability accompanies the picture.

Mind and condition

Individual rubrics show the course of the mental state: mental symptoms are worse during the day, taciturnity improves in the evening, and the condition is worse on rising. During headache, indifference appears. A single-remedy rubric records complaining about one's condition.

Summary

Bism. appears as the picture of an anxious, clinging person who seeks closeness, is easily frightened and complains about his condition. The data are slim, and the mental rubrics remain little differentiated.
