Kalium silicicum (Kali-sil)

Kalium silicicum (Kali-sil) appears in 143 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, none is a single-remedy rubric in which only this remedy is listed, and 1 is a small rubric with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Anxiety, Fear, Mistakes, Children and Delusions, represented with 9 to 12 rubrics. The picture is a broad, mixed field in which no single rubric dominates.

Anxiety and fear

Anxiety is listed in twelve rubrics, Fear in ten. The two main rubrics are the largest fields of the remedy, without a single-remedy rubric making them concrete. Fear thus appears as a general trait that, in the listing, is spread over many remedies.

Mistakes, children and delusions

Mistakes made by the person are listed in nine rubrics, as are the rubrics for Children. Delusions are given in nine rubrics. Confusion of mind and Dullness are listed in seven and six rubrics respectively.

Starting, weeping and irritability

Starting is listed in six rubrics, Weeping in five, Irritability in five. Indifference is linked with a small rubric relating to friends: "Indifference, apathy – friends, to". This pattern points to an apathy toward people who are close.

Summary

In the Repertory, Kalium silicicum appears as a remedy with a broad distribution over Anxiety, Fear, Mistakes and Delusions, without a single marked rubric. Indifference toward friends is the only small rubric that narrows the picture. The data therefore support only a general overall picture.

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