Murex purpurea (Murx.)

Murex purpurea (Murx.) appears in 105 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, seven are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and eleven are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The rubrics on Sexuality and Sadness are the largest groups with eleven main rubrics each, followed by Anguish with six.

Sexuality and Menses

The rubrics on Sexuality, sexual activity and behavior are represented with eleven main rubrics. Several small rubrics relate to the menses, to the beginning of the menses, and to the climacteric. A small rubric records that women become lascivious at every touch. The mental rubrics are linked in several rubrics with the vaginal discharge.

Sadness and Anguish

The sadness is connected in one single-remedy rubric with the vaginal discharge and in another with leukorrhea. The anguish relates to pains in the lower abdomen and to the menses; it abates when the flow begins. Excitability is recorded in nervous women.

Mind and Clearness

Clearness of mind appears alternating with heaviness of the head. Liveliness, Lovingness, and Cordiality are each linked with women in a single-remedy rubric. Delusions and Starting complete the picture with fewer rubrics.

Summary

Murex purpurea is characterized in the rubrics chiefly by sexual themes, sadness, and anguish in connection with menses and vaginal discharge. The single-remedy and small rubrics derive predominantly from the gynecological sphere, which limits the classification of the remedy narrowly.

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