Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Cadmium metallicum (Cadm-met.)

Cadmium metallicum (Cadm-met.) appears in the repertory in 87 rubrics. Of these, one is a single-remedy rubric in which only this remedy is listed, and 6 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Fear and Indifference (7 rubrics each in total), plus Company, Mistakes and Sensitiveness.

Alternation between violence and melancholy

The distinctive feature lies in a fluctuation. The small rubrics list violence alternating with melancholy and with sadness, and likewise sadness alternating with violence. An oversensitive mood during the day and a restlessness aggravated by sunlight also belong to the small rubrics.

Absent-mindedness

The single-remedy rubric records a mistake pointing to inattention: "Mistakes, makes – salt instead of sugar in the tea, puts". The rubrics on mistakes (4 in total) and on memory also point to disturbed attention.

Summary

In the repertory a person appears whose mood tips between violence and melancholy, who seems dulled and at the same time oversensitive, and who makes mistakes of absent-mindedness in everyday life. The data are thin; the few specific rubrics support no closed picture.
