Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Glonoinum (Glon.)

Glonoinum (Glon.) appears in 380 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 26 are single rubrics in which only this remedy appears, and 24 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphases lie in Delusions, Unconsciousness, Fear, Confusion and Speech. The picture emerges of a person to whom the familiar surroundings and his own head become strange and who, under pressure in the head, heat and fainting, loses his footing.

The head

The head stands at the center. The delusions concern it in several forms: the chin is too long, the brain is smaller than the skull, the skull is diminished, one hangs head downward. In addition come grasping the head, sitting with the head in the hands, and the screaming headache of children. Sunstroke aggravates and leaves loss of memory. The head is thus the place where bodily sensation, thinking and consciousness waver at the same time.

The street and the house

The second group concerns ways and spaces. The single rubrics speak of the house that, while walking in the street, seems not to stand in the right place, of the way home that is too long, and of streets in which everything seems strange and one gets lost. Time also stretches. Standing aggravates the strangeness: "Delusions – strange, everything is – standing agg.". One can see in this a person who no longer finds his way in surroundings he knows well.

Unconsciousness

Unconsciousness is recorded broadly. The single rubrics name a dark red, purple face with an expression of pain and amelioration by sprinkling water in the face after catching cold. Small rubrics add sighing and fainting at noon. After convulsions and in eclampsia, striking follows. A single rubric designates falling down when jumping out of bed, with the knees giving way.

Fear, mortification, distress

Fear occurs in crowds and in the open air, specifically in the climacteric: a fear of open places, of crowds and agoraphobia during menopause. The fear of apoplexy comes on waking. The thoughts cling to old mortifications: a single rubric records that long-forgotten insults come to mind again, another that the thoughts persistently stay with persons who have insulted one. A single rubric also describes jumping out of the window during headaches, another tormenting anxiety during heart attacks.

Summary

Glonoinum stands in the Repertory for the state in which heat and pressure in the head displace the sense of body, space and time. Such a person no longer finds his way in his own street, loses consciousness, and returns in thought to old mortifications.
