Vespa crabro (Vesp.)

Vespa crabro (Vesp.) appears in 41 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 4 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 2 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Delusions, Unconsciousness, Anxiety and Sadness; in addition there are Ambition and Oversensitiveness.

Used, trembling, fragile

The single-remedy rubrics are brief, yet they show a coherent feeling. Two of them record the feeling of being used, once in general and once sexually. A third lists trembling. The fourth reads "Delusions – house – fragile, is": the house, the place of shelter, is not safe. One can see in this a person who feels exploited and experiences her footing as brittle.

Anxiety and being wound up

A small rubric lists dreadful anxiety, another the feeling of being wound up. Both rubrics show a tension that cannot be switched off.

Summary

Vespa crabro is distinguished by a feeling of vulnerability and of being used, accompanied by trembling, anxiety and being wound up. Because of the small number of rubrics the picture remains provisional.

All rubrics of this remedy, the materia medica and the case work are in Rathmer’s Repertory.
