Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Lac equinum (Lac‑e.)

Lac equinum (Lac‑e.) appears in 182 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 37 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 5 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Delusions, Anxiety, Fear, Efficiency, Restlessness and Mistakes. From these emerges the picture of a person who must keep everything under control through organization because otherwise he fears confusion and loss of control.

Efficiency against confusion

The central trait is efficiency. The person is efficient and well organized, disorder disturbs her; a single-remedy rubric calls this efficiency a compensation for confusion of mind. Fitting this are the delusion of losing control over one's own organization and restlessness when organization is poor. The person tolerates neither rigid rules nor contradiction, nor ambiguity and lack of clarity, and she becomes impatient with people who are not helpful and when business does not progress quickly.

Toil and mistakes

Everything is a struggle and laborious, life is full of privations, everything is hard. Mistakes happen on the computer, where a program is deleted. Ailments arise from poor performance at work.

Family and secrets

The anxiety concerns the safety of the family and the disclosure of secrets; the latter are at the same time revealed impulsively, even one's own. Discord between family members makes her ill, failing to mediate between lovers triggers unconsciousness. The daughter is loved very much, without this being expressed properly. The house seems surrounded, and the person sinks as if in quicksand.

Sense impressions and traffic

Noises seem exaggeratedly loud, speaking seems loud. The fear concerns driving in snow and Alzheimer's disease; in traffic anger arises. Riding ameliorates driving.

Summary

Lac‑e. appears as the picture of a dutiful person who depends on order, stands under the pressure of responsibility for the family, and becomes restless when things are unclear.
