Symphytum officinalis (Symph.)

Symphytum officinalis (Symph.) appears in 251 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 1 is a single-remedy rubric in which only this remedy is listed, and 11 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Fear, Memory, Irritability, Mistakes and Concentration. The data are moderate; the picture remains outlined, not filled in.

Desire for Support

The only single-remedy rubric reads "Stability - desire for." Fitting are the fear of becoming unable to work, the insistence on carrying out one's own plans and the obstinacy in doing so. A person shows himself who seeks firmness and fears setbacks at work.

Distraction and Irritability

The thoughts wander at work and in the afternoon; the main-rubric picture comprises Weak memory, Mistakes and Lack of concentration. The irritability has fixed triggers: coffee, 4 p.m., walking, which is ameliorated in the open air. Remorse arises over trifles, and the suicidal disposition is triggered by hearing music. Beside the low point stands, as counterpole, a blissful exaltation.

Summary

In the Repertory, Symphytum shows a person who seeks support and whose attention is scattered: irritable at certain hours, full of remorse over trifles, with mood swings from despair to bliss.
