Copaifera officinalis (Cop.)
Copaifera officinalis (Cop.) appears in 79 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 7 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 3 are small rubrics with no more than two other remedies. The main emphasis lies on loathing, moaning, quarrelsomeness, and sexuality; in total numbers, sadness and weeping lead. The picture is that of a soft, vulnerable mood that mingles with irritability and violent impulses.
Sadness and Sensitivity
Sadness is the most frequent rubric. It ameliorates when walking, and weeping is triggered by music, more precisely by the ringing of bells and chimes. Added to this are oversensitiveness, restlessness, and excitement.
Loathing and Quarrel
The loathing is tied to particular occasions. Two single-remedy rubrics name it during fear of death and of skin eruption. The quarrelsomeness has a petty trait: the person blames others for trifles, and the counter-accusation is not long in coming, as the single-remedy rubric "Quarrelsome – counter-accusation for trifles" records.
Lamenting and Sexuality
Moaning and lamenting combine with hemicrania and migraine. Lasciviousness is tied to violent emotions, likewise in single-remedy rubrics.
Summary
The remedy picture shows a sensitive, easily moved person who sinks into sadness, gets caught up in trifles, and at the same time becomes violent in excitement.
All rubrics of this remedy, the materia medica and the case work are in Rathmer’s Repertory.
