Caulophyllum thalictroides (Caul.)

Caulophyllum thalictroides (Caul.) appears in 59 rubrics in the repertory. Of these, 8 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 2 are small rubrics with no more than two other remedies. The emphasis lies on restlessness, hysteria, irritability, and anxiety, along with the mental symptoms of the menses. Almost all the special rubrics belong to pregnancy, labor, and miscarriage.

Childbirth and its surroundings

The frame is the woman in labor. The single-remedy rubrics record hysteria during labor, irritability during labor pains, a changeable, inconstant mood during labor, and excitement after it. Before this lies pregnancy: anxiety and fear in a false conception stand side by side in two single-remedy rubrics. Afterward follow miscarriage and its aftereffects, irritability during abortion and mental exhaustion after it.

Restlessness

The general state of mind is one of restless irritability. Restlessness is recorded in seven rubrics, one of them specifically at 3 p.m., and hysteria appears with uterine hemorrhage.

Summary

Caulophyllum appears as a remedy of states of emergency around conception, birth, and loss. The movement of the mind follows the course of events: fear beforehand, irritability and change during, exhaustion afterward.
