Teucrium marum verum (Teucr.)

Teucrium marum verum (Teucr.) appears in 150 rubrics in the Repertorium. Of these, 7 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 7 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The main emphases are Children, Excitement, Irritability, Sensitiveness, and Loquacity. They yield the picture of an excitable, easily irritated person whose restlessness discharges in talking and in movement in the open air.

Irritability and excitement

Irritability forms the largest block of specific rubrics. It is linked with eating: two rubrics record irritability while eating, a single-remedy rubric irritability at lunch. Another single-remedy rubric assigns irritability to a complaint from pinworms. Beside irritability stand excitement, sensitiveness, which is likewise recorded while eating, and starting easily, for instance after midnight in sleep.

Speech and mood

Loquacity is represented with eight rubrics, including a small rubric on loquacity during the chill. The mood fluctuates: there are cheerful rubrics, among them "Mirth, hilarity – open air, in," and at the same time sadness from cooling off and becoming cold. A single-remedy rubric records evening eccentricity.

Open air and motion

Two single-remedy rubrics speak of a desire for physical exertion in the open air. Exertion outdoors thus apparently belongs to the traits of the remedy, and cheerfulness in the open air fits with it.

Children

In children, failure to thrive stands out. Two single-remedy rubrics describe it with jerking, hiccough after nursing, and empty eructations.

Summary

Teucr. presents as a remedy of an excited, irritable state that intensifies while eating and finds relief in the open air. Loquacity, starting, and sensitiveness complete the picture, and in children failure to thrive is added. With few single-remedy rubrics, the data are not very broad.
