Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Carlsbad aqua (Carl.)

Carlsbad aqua (Carl.) appears in 88 rubrics in the repertory. Of these, 6 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 1 is a small rubric with no more than two other remedies. The data are thin; the rubrics are distributed mainly over memory, delusions, anxiety, irritability, and sadness.

Discouragement and agitation

The single-remedy rubrics show discouragement in two contexts: because of domestic affairs and before the menses ("Discouraged – menses, before"). Added to this is anguish with stretching before the approaching menses. The anger and the delusion of being beside oneself are directed at trifles: "Delusions – beside oneself, is – trifles, about". Timidity in the morning at 9 a.m. and rashness in speaking and writing complete the picture.

Summary

The few specific rubrics portray a person whom trifles throw off balance and whose courage wanes before the menses and in the face of domestic duties.
