Kalium muriaticum (Kali-m)

Kalium muriaticum (Kali-m) appears in 111 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, none is a single-remedy rubric in which only this remedy is listed, and 7 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Anxiety, Indifference and Fear, represented most strongly with 8, 8 and 7 rubrics, as well as Irritability, Delirium and Memory. The picture is that of a person ruled at once by fear and by apathy.

Anxiety and fear

Anxiety and fear together make up a large part of the Repertory entries for this remedy. Single-remedy rubrics are absent here, so the picture rests on main rubrics with several remedies. The fear includes the idea of having to flee from social gatherings, and the rubric "Escape, attempts to – company, from" records this impulse.

Indifference and company

Indifference is listed in eight rubrics. The apathy is directed against people, namely "toward everyone". This fits the escape rubric: the person turns away from others without the wish for closeness appearing in the rubrics.

Delusion and eating

The delusions concern eating. A small rubric records that the person must not eat, another that he must starve. In addition there is the feeling of having to starve. The delusions are thus connected with a basic fear about food.

Summary

In the Repertory, Kalium muriaticum appears as a remedy of anxiety, fear and indifference. The withdrawal from others is complemented by a fear of lack of food, which emerges in the delusions. Memory and irritability appear as further fields. A single-remedy rubric is lacking, so the picture rests on the main rubrics alone.
