Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Sanguinaria canadensis (Sang)

Sanguinaria canadensis (Sang) appears in 146 rubrics in the repertory. Twenty of them are single-remedy rubrics, listing only this remedy, and 10 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphases lie in delusions, which are most strongly represented with eleven rubrics, as well as anxiety, irritability, oversensitiveness, and clinging to others. The picture is that of a person who recognizes everything but cannot move, and whose delusions revolve around motion and paralysis.

Paralysis with Preserved Recognition

The central motif lies in the rubrics on recognition. The person recognizes everything but cannot move, and the small rubrics stress this with the addition of catalepsy. Another small rubric describes the acceptance of reality: "reality and accepts it". The feeling of being paralyzed is recorded in two single-remedy rubrics.

Delusions of Motion

The delusions are listed in eleven rubrics and revolve around motion. A single-remedy rubric describes sitting in a railway car: "in a railway car, he/she were". The person implores others to hold on to her and feels shaken as if the vehicle were moving. Everything seems to move quickly and confusedly around her.

Anxiety and Irritability

Anxiety is recorded in eight rubrics, irritability in eight. Oversensitiveness appears in seven rubrics. Clinging to others is recorded in five rubrics. A single-remedy rubric describes fear of delirium, another of vomiting. Weather, especially damp and cloudy, is recorded several times.

Summary

Sanguinaria canadensis appears in the repertory as a remedy whose delusions revolve around motion and paralysis while recognition is preserved. Anxiety and irritability shape everyday life, clinging to others the relationship. The weather rubrics add an external dependence that completes the picture.
