Ulmus campestris (Ulm‑c.)

Ulmus campestris (Ulm‑c.) appears in 165 rubrics in the Repertorium. Of these, 13 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 11 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The main emphases are Mistakes, Excitement, Forgetfulness, and Hurry; with 22 rubrics, making mistakes stands out above all. The picture emerges of a person whose mind is most active at night and who works impatiently and imprecisely by day.

Mistakes and forgetfulness

Making mistakes is the most striking feature. The small rubrics show it in speaking: the wrong words are used, namely the opposite ones, such as "hot" instead of "cold." Forgetfulness concerns the things of everyday life and increases during the menses, and studying suffers when the person is interrupted. A small rubric also names want of self-confidence regarding the realization of her own plans.

Excitement and hurry

Excitement and haste form the counterpart. Single-remedy rubrics record excitement at 2 p.m., excitement with trembling of the nerves and the intestines, hurry and haste in the evening, and restlessness in a dark room. Dissatisfaction with everything ameliorates from exertion. The person thus gets going by challenging herself.

Bright at night

At night the mind is clearest. Two single-remedy rubrics record clearness of thoughts and abundance of ideas at night before sleep, a small rubric the desire for mental exertion after one o'clock. Consistent with the sleeplessness is the delusion of hearing voices at night. Next comes the side of plans: a single-remedy rubric records that the person makes many plans for the future.

Affection and self-image

Further single-remedy rubrics concern love, the desire for changing music, and a gait with the impression of importance: "Walking – self-satisfied air of importance, walks with a." Small rubrics add that affection is returned, speech is convincing, and the person dwells on past unpleasant events, on disappointments.

Summary

Ulmus campestris shows an active, planning mind that unfolds in the evening and at night but slips by day into haste, slips of the tongue, and forgetfulness. Behind this lies a self-doubt about the realization of the plans.
