rubrics & remedies

[always.question]

Hi everyone - any thoughts on the following?
My Rep (Synth 7.1., no computer prog available) doesn't have this rubric, but found on Minutus 'desires licorice' - an interesting list of Rxs (cited as coming from Synth, presumably later version than mine). N0table that all of the Rxs apart from two are unusual chemicals (and as far as I know largely unproven).

I've noticed curious accumulations of particular types of Rxs before, e.g. the rubrics, esp smaller ones, around forsakenness & isolation have an unusually high incidence of 'Sherr remedies'. So... I regard my repertory with a modicum of cautious enquiry.

Any theories/views around this sort of thing? Or any sort of back-up, clinical or otherwise, for that licorice rubric for example? (in my Synth I can look up references for listed Rxs, so can research the source if need be and assess how reliable the info is).

Curious,

SUSE

May be someone got confused between the periodic table and kitchen
table- and got licorice and other spices from there

Hi Suse,
Yes indeed! Small rubrics in particular are not necessarily drawn from
a broad base; also sometimes there are rubrics that basically mean the
same thing, but a certain author has chosen to put remedies into one
rather than the other. (Wish I could remember a specific example...)
So if you happen to find only the smaller one, you may feel you have a
really unusual symptom, when in fact it is not!

The repertory is a guide, not the final authority, so your attitude of
"cautious enquiry" is just the right one! (Then, check out the
possibilities in materia medica--as many sources as you can muster!)
