Calcium arsenicosum (Calc-ar)

Calcium arsenicosum (Calc-ar) appears in 147 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 3 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 3 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Delusions, the most strongly represented with 22 rubrics, along with Fear, Anxiety, Restlessness and Sadness. The picture is of a person whose fear shows mainly at night and whose delusions are directed at people.

Delusions and People

Delusions are the largest main rubric. A small rubric lists seeing people who are unpleasant: "sees people - unpleasant people." The delusions are thus related to other persons, without the rubrics naming a cause.

Fear and Anxiety at Night

Fear is listed in 17 rubrics, Anxiety in 15. Two single-remedy rubrics link anxiety with the night, one of them with perspiration: "Anxiety - Perspiration - with - night." Anxiety about salvation is likewise listed at night. Fear thus has its hour in the dark.

Restlessness and Convulsions

Restlessness is listed in eight rubrics, Sadness in five. One single-remedy rubric links aphonia with convulsions, another delirium with evening and darkness. Heaven appears in a small rubric as an idea in which the person finds himself.

Summary

In the Repertory, Calcium arsenicosum appears as a remedy that encompasses delusion, fear and anxiety, with nocturnal fear holding a position of its own. Restlessness and sadness form the background, convulsions and aphonia individual physical features. The rubrics are predominantly mental in nature.
