Gallicum acidum (Gall‑ac.)

Gallicum acidum (Gall‑ac.) appears in 130 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, one is a single rubric in which only this remedy appears, and 6 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The data for the specific rubrics are thin; the bulk of the material, 49 of the rubrics, belongs to the area of Children.

The distinctive feature lies in the relation to others. The single rubric records insulting behavior even toward the best friends, a small rubric the same as scolding. Alongside stands the wish to be observed and always to be noticed in company. In children this trait shows as desire for company although they are unfriendly or nasty in it, and as spirit of contradiction, paired with marked destructiveness.

Summary

Gallicum acidum appears as a remedy of a person who seeks attention and at the same time hurts the people who give it. The small number of specific rubrics allows only this one line to be recognized.

All rubrics of this remedy, the materia medica and the case work are in Rathmer’s Repertory.
