I take your point Irene, but such generalisations are not always correct. For example Calcs are fearful (so do not take everything in their stride!) and can be thin!

Subject: Re: [Minutus] dilemma
im under a homeopath and im now going to be given aurum arsenicum with the idea that I have a lot of arsenicum traits and aurum traits butttttttttt
Aur has 4879 rubrics
Ars has 11585 rubrics
Aur-ars has 839 rubrics, 714 of which are common with both ars and aur.
What matters is whether YOUR symptoms align with a subset of aur-ars rubrics.
It is not unheard-of for a remedy combining two substances, to have a rubric set that has aspects of component parts. As you can see here, the majority of aur-ars remedies are indeed in both aur and ars.
Aur-ars is clearly less well documented having so few remedies documented compared to the others.
So whether the remedy is good for you, has to do with your individual match - but it is possible.
To use a different example:
The features of Calc-phos are not the same as Calc or Phos, but there is an area of overlap.
The physical features however are specific for the remedy, for example:
Calc is heavy built, slow and easygoing, very calm, takes everything in stride, nothing phases them.
Phos is long-legged, light on their feet, long strides to walk, and a social butterfly, extremely sensitive.
Calc-phos is longbodied, and lithe, but a heavy slim flowing lithe, with tightrope walking type balancing ability. Emotionally Cal-phos has features of both, or is between them ...they are intelligent and will point out things like phos does, but they do not talk on the phone for hours like phos. They are closer to easygoing calc in that respect, but will make known what it is they want, which calc is unlikely to do.
So you can see that if you have the right features of phos and the right features of calc they may align with the features of calc-phos. But only if the appropriate features in the overlap are there.
Namaste,
Irene
