Kalium nitricum (Kali‑n.)

Kalium nitricum (Kali‑n.) appears in 172 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 4 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 4 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Anxiety with 21 rubrics, Delusions, Confusion of mind and Fear. The specific rubrics are few; they show a sensitivity tied to the time of day.

Anxiety and confusion

Anxiety is the largest main rubric and comes before Delusions (9), Confusion of mind (7) and Fear (6). In addition there are Thoughts, Mental states, Children and Gestures with several rubrics. The mind is thus above all anxious and easily disturbed in thinking.

The morning and absentmindedness

Some small rubrics concentrate in the morning: aversion to work, to thinking and to mental exertion are each related to this time of day. The absentmindedness has its hours in the forenoon: "Absentminded – forenoon, 11 – 16 h", also during the day over the same span. Among the particularities are overexcitement after a single glass of wine ("Excitement, excitable – wine – after – one glass"), repentance after anger and sensitiveness to the odor of camphor.

Summary

In the Repertory, Kalium nitricum shows an anxious person, easily disturbed in thinking, whose readiness for exertion is weak in the morning and whose mind responds strongly to small stimuli such as a glass of wine or an odor.
