Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Osmium metallicum (Osm.)

Osmium metallicum (Osm.) appears in the repertory in 51 rubrics. Of these, 2 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy appears, and one is a small rubric with at most two other remedies. Most entries concern Mistakes, followed by Fear, Malicious, Thoughts, Restlessness, and Voice. The picture emerges of a person who fears himself as a source of calamity.

Fear of harm

The two single-remedy rubrics set the direction. One names the fear of accidents of other people, the other persistent thoughts of injuries, namely of injuring others: "Thoughts – persistent – injuries, of – injuring others". Both rubrics revolve around harm that one might cause or witness oneself, and can be read as a worry about one's own loss of control. Fitting this line are the many rubrics on making mistakes, which can be read as uncertainty in one's own doing.

Summary

At the center stands the fear of harming others or of witnessing their misfortune, accompanied by restlessness, impatience, and a tendency to mistakes. The small number of specific rubrics lets the picture be seen only in outline.
