Cypripedium pubescens (Cypr.)

Cypripedium pubescens (Cypr.) appears in 117 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 5 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 12 are small rubrics with no more than two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Laughing, Ecstasy and Excitement, as well as on the rubrics on Children. From these emerges the picture of an overexcited, wakeful mind that cannot come to rest, especially in children at night.

Laughing and Ecstasy

The excitement expresses itself in laughing. The Repertory lists laughter that bellows, screams or shrieks, laughter that causes convulsions, and, as a single-remedy rubric: "Laughing – night – children". Beside the laughing appears ecstasy, in the morning and at night on waking. A single-remedy rubric names it as a precursor of an incipient brain disorder. Mental excitability is heightened; the excitement can go together with convulsions.

Children at Night

The child does not sleep, wants to play and laughs; both states are single-remedy rubrics. Nervous excitement in children appears through complaints of the intestines.

Exhaustion and Complaints

Exhaustion follows the overexcitation: mental exhaustion after influenza; in dyspepsia, anxiety and grief appear. A mild delirium tremens is listed.

Summary

In the Repertory Cypripedium pubescens shows an overwakefulness that discharges in laughing and rapture and keeps the child in particular from sleep at night. Exhaustion follows when the excitement is spent.
