Guajacum officinale (Guaj.)

Guajacum officinale (Guaj.) appears in 114 rubrics in the repertory. Of these, 4 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 7 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on delusions and memory, along with restlessness, anxiety, delirium and weeping. With so few specific rubrics, the picture must be read with caution.

Absentmindedness in the morning

The clustering in the morning is striking: absentmindedness in the morning is a single-remedy rubric, with staring thoughtlessly in the morning and restlessness in bed in the morning beside it. Added to this is weakness of memory, listed specifically as memory for names of persons. The delusion rubric that everything seems too narrow, and the fright on waking that one would fall, fit into the same picture of a restless waking.

Criticism and anxiety

A single-remedy rubric names the desire to "criticize everything," a second anxiety from contraction in the stomach, a third weeping after a nightmare. Irritability after diarrhea links mind and body.

Summary

The remedy is distinguished by a restless, absentminded waking, gaps in memory and oppression, along with a desire to find fault. Nothing more can be derived from the thin data.
