Ranunculus scleratus (Ran-s.)

Ranunculus scleratus (Ran-s.) appears in 77 rubrics in the repertory. Of these, 0 are single rubrics in which only this remedy appears, and 0 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. Specific rubrics are lacking; the evaluation rests on the remaining entries, which group around Delusions, Laughing, Dullness and the evening hours. The data are thin.

Laughing and Delusions

Laughing shows itself violent, immoderate and sardonic; it also applies to the person's own actions. The Delusions lead to vermin and worms crawling about, to dead persons being seen, and to the idea of being touched. Both can be read as a state in which perception becomes uncanny and laughing serves as a vent.

Evening, night and exhaustion

Many entries are tied to time: excitement, sadness and cheerfulness in the evening, excitement in bed, dullness and mental exhaustion at night, anxiety on waking, anxiety with sleeplessness. Added to these are weakness of memory for what was just thought, sluggishness, brooding and the tendency always to arrive too late. Even coma vigil and rabies stand among the entries.

Summary

The rubrics show a person who is excited and disturbed in the evening and at night but remains languid and sluggish by day. The entries yield nothing more than this tendency.
