Kalmia latifolia (Kalm.)

Kalmia latifolia (Kalm.) appears in 59 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 1 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 specific rubrics concern Ill-humor and Dullness. The data are thin.

Ill-humor and dullness

The single-remedy rubric lists an ill-humor that begins in the evening and lasts until the next forenoon. The small rubric names a dullness that is aggravated by motion. Both states are tied to external conditions: to the time of day and to physical movement.

Anxiety and irritability

Among all the rubrics, Anxiety and Ill-humor stand with five entries each, followed by Fear, Irritability and Confusion of mind with four each and mental exertion with three. This can be read as a mind that is anxious and peevish and has difficulty collecting itself in thinking.

Summary

The picture remains a sketch: an ill-humored, anxious state that persists for hours and is aggravated rather than relieved by motion.
