Triticum vulgare (Tritic‑vg.)

Triticum vulgare (Tritic‑vg.) appears in 494 rubrics in the Repertorium. Of these, 8 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 34 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The data are thin: most rubrics lie in Fear, Mistakes, Anxiety, Memory, Irritability, and Sadness. The specific rubrics sketch a person who loves children, nature, and colors, strives for order, believes she must fulfill the wishes of others, and feels estranged from herself.

Nature, children, and colors

Several rubrics concern devotion to nature and children. Only this remedy is listed for excessive joy in open nature and for desire for the company of children. Added to these are love of plants, looking at the stars in the sky, laughing in the open air, and whistling from cheerfulness. The colors form a group of their own: desire for orange for this remedy alone, for violet, and for colors in general. Physical work makes her glad.

Order, boundaries, and estrangement

A second line concerns the self. The person longs to bring order into her own life, believes she must fulfill the wishes of others, and is estranged from herself. Thoughts crowd in on her at work and whirl in confusion, and she has a tendency to respect boundaries. Awareness of her own thoughts and feelings is heightened only in this remedy. The person is spontaneous when shopping. Irritability is directed against the insincerity and falseness of other people.

Fear and sadness

The fear is broadly spread: recorded are fear of accidents with the car, fear that the fetus will die, fear of lack of sleep, and fear that the door might be locked. The anxiety is for loved ones, and only for this remedy is listed pondering over the death of the father. The sadness alternates with loquacity, occurs after loquacity, after breakfast, and after a quarrel with the spouse. Long, continued talking ameliorates the complaints.

Restlessness and minor items

Restlessness shows in walking to and fro and in pacing up and down; headaches, by contrast, require stillness and rest. Dullness occurs after breakfast and relates to what is heard; in the morning there is a feeling of heaviness. After childbirth there is an aversion to company, and in babies the Arsenicum state is found. One rubric names the desire to kill animals, another asking the same thing constantly, namely the time.

Summary

The picture of Triticum vulgare remains brief because of the few single-remedy rubrics. It combines joy in nature and children with striving for order, the feeling of having to satisfy others, and a fear that relates to accidents, lack of sleep, and security. A king-pin symptom is not identified in the available data; individual statements should be weighted cautiously given this data situation.
