STUDY OF MENTAL RUBRICS
Study of Repertory is as important as of Materia Medica and
Organon for clinical practice. Among the different section of Repertory study
of mind section is very important. We have to individualize the medicines
although there are many medicines under a single rubric. For example there are
four remedies under the rubric Handled,
being-aversion and they are Abrotanum, Cina, Nat mur and Sepia. Handled,
being –aversion means these medicines do not like to guide or manage by
others. We have to know the different
situations of above said remedies for which these are listed under this rubric.
Abrotanum---It is very difficult to handle an Abrotanum patient. He
is irritable and obstinate like a child. As we know, a child does not want to
understand the situation and behaves as he likes, Abrotanum behaves like a
child due to softening of brain. His brain development is arrested. In other
hand he is very sensitive to touch, dispose to contradict and very immoral in
nature. He behaves very cruelly and likes to do something cruel to others. So
he does not like to be handled by others.
Cina—Cina
patients are difficult to quieten due to their capricious nature. He is
independent minded. He wants others should do work as per his wishes. He is
very obstinate and headstrong. He does not like to take help from others and even
does not like to be carried. So he does not like to be handled by others as per
their wishes.
Nat mur—Natrum
mur patients have too much sense of duty. He is very proper on his work. He is
very obstinate, haughty, and contemptuous. He does not like to be guided or
instructed by others. He feels himself dignified and exclusive. Also, he is very secretive. He fears that if
he will be guided by others his secret vices may open.
Sepia---Sepia
does not like consolation and sympathy from others. After working for others
sincerely when she gets no reciprocation, she remains indifferent to others and lies with eye closed. She rebels against poultice and averse to be handled
by others.
From above discussion we can conclude that, Abrotanum is
immoral, Cina is independent, Natrum mur is secretive and Sepia is indifferent
in nature. So they do not like to be handled by others. Let us now discuss another
rubric ABRUPT- ROUGH ,AFFECTIONATE YET.
ABRUPT –ROUGH, YET AFFECTIONATE
.
When we will open our Kent’s Repertory we will found a
rubric Abrupt in the first page. In
Synthetic Repertory there are two sub rubrics abrupt- harsh and abrupt- rough,
yet affectionate. If we study it carefully it will alarm our mind that if a
person is abrupt rough why he is so affectionate or if he is affectionate why
he is abrupt.
Abrupt means all of a sudden. That means he does things or
change one thing to other suddenly. By this abruptness other may feel
inconvenience but it is not his aim to harm others. It gives the impression of
being cut or broken of unexpectedly. In this rubric abrupt there are eleven
polycrest remedy which generally come in our day to day practice. The medicines
are calcaria carb, chamomilla, heper sulph, Lycopodium, natrum mur, Nux vomica,
platina, pulsatilla, silicea, sulphur and tarentulla.
