Helonias dioica (Helon.)

Helonias dioica (Helon.) appears in 103 rubrics in the repertory. Of these, three are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and four are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. Sadness is the strongest group, with twelve main rubrics, followed by children rubrics with eight and irritability with five.

Sadness and irritability

Sadness is the central theme of the rubrics. Irritability appears in five main rubrics; one small rubric combines it with diabetes. Laziness and indolence appear in connection with a life of luxury.

Uterus and hysteria

Hysteria is represented with three main rubrics. Two rubrics concern complaints of the uterus, including a prolapse. These rubrics are among the few that explicitly fix the remedy on the body.

Indecision and restlessness

Indecision, difficulty making decisions, is listed as a single-remedy rubric in connection with weakness. Restlessness is linked with diabetes in a single-remedy rubric. Confusion occurs after abortion.

Summary

In its rubrics, Helonias dioica shows sadness and irritability as the leading themes, supplemented by indecision and complaints of the uterus. The three single-remedy rubrics support the picture, though sadness is shared with many other remedies.

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