Repertory › Remedies in the repertory

Tanacetum vulgare (Tanac.)

Tanacetum vulgare (Tanac.) appears in 56 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 4 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 1 is a small rubric with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Indifference, Thoughts, Delusions and Unconsciousness; in the total count, Gestures, Fear and Irritability are added. The picture is that of a withdrawn person who avoids questions and feels close to death.

Indifference to Questions

Two single-remedy rubrics carry the mind: the indifference is directed against interrogation and against being questioned. The person cannot be reached where one presses into him. Fitting is the irritability, which is listed in the total count.

Death and Disgust

The single-remedy rubric "Delusions - dead - he/she is dead - half dead, half alive" describes an existence between states. Another names unpleasant thoughts about food. Unconsciousness is ameliorated after vomiting.

Summary

Here too little material carries the picture: defensiveness against being questioned and an experience of being half dead and half alive that dampens contact with the surroundings.
