Chininum arsenicosum (Chinin-ar.)

Chininum arsenicosum (Chinin-ar.) appears in 178 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 11 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 2 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Anxiety, Restlessness, Fear, Children and Delusions. From them emerges the picture of a restless person oppressed by dyspnea and exhaustion.

Anxiety with Dyspnea

Anxiety is the largest group with eighteen rubrics, and almost all the specific rubrics express it in bodily terms. Listed are anxiety with difficult breathing from tuberculosis, in diphtheria and when sitting: the person must sit bent forward, if possible with the window open. Fear of misfortune occurs at night.

Impatience in Fever

Impatience is tied to intermittent fever, in two single-remedy rubrics. The thought of complaints brings on shivering. Irritability occurs before headache. A single-remedy rubric records loss of speech in epilepsy.

Exhaustion

One delusion is that the person cannot bear the complete exhaustion, a second connects the delusion with hemorrhage. The king-pin rubric "Disturbed – aversion to being" is related to the wish to keep the present situation unchanged.

Summary

Chinin-ar. shows anxiety tied to dyspnea, impatience in intermittent fever and a fear of exhaustion. The picture is clear, but the number of single-remedy rubrics is limited.
