Solanum nigrum (Sol-ni.)

Solanum nigrum (Sol-ni.) appears in 97 rubrics. Of these, four are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and four are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The most frequent main rubrics are fear and phobia, gestures, and delusions with nine rubrics each, plus children with six.

Delusions and movement

The delusions revolve around movement. One single-remedy rubric describes that everything moves in a circle, another that the brain swims. Small rubrics concern turning in bed and circling when stooping.

Gestures and hands

The involuntary movements of the hands are listed with nine main rubrics. Small rubrics describe grasping while chewing and swallowing, and at night. The gestures thus appear as the bodily expression of restlessness.

Speech and restlessness

Speech is unintelligible, associated with mania, and the restlessness is convulsive. Fear, anxiety, and moaning complete the picture; coma appears only in small rubrics, one of them in fever.

Summary

Solanum nigrum shows in the rubrics a picture of circling delusions, involuntary hand movements, and convulsive restlessness. The four single-remedy rubrics and the accumulation of gestures give the profile its contour, while the fear rubrics are shared with many other remedies.
