Lachnanthes tinctoria (Lachn.)

Lachnanthes tinctoria (Lachn.) appears in 71 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 11 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 2 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Delirium with ten main rubrics, on Loquacity with seven and on Delusions with six.

Delirium and night

Delirium forms the largest group. The single-remedy rubrics record that the person wants to dress and go out, and link the confusion with the time between one and two o'clock at night. A small rubric assigns talkative delirium to fever.

Loquacity and delusions

Loquacity appears as an alternation between silliness and irritability. The rubrics speak of "silly and irritable" and of a stupid irritability that follows. The delusions concern images and phantoms that appear in daytime dozing and in slumber.

Weeping and restlessness

Weeping occurs with headaches and in paroxysms, further as whimpering and moaning in pain. Restlessness is represented with five main rubrics and completes the picture of a person who is awake and restless at night.

Summary

In the rubrics Lachnanthes tinctoria shows itself as a remedy with a clear emphasis on nocturnal confusion, loquacity and perception of images. The data are shaped by rubrics that also carry other remedies, so that the profile takes shape mainly through the accumulation of delirium rubrics and through the eleven single-remedy rubrics.
