AMMONIUM CARB: A SPOILED BRAT

One of the most misunderstood and less-explored remedy from the chest of polychrests is Ammonium Carb. It was only limited to the acute prescription in the cases of snuffles and cholera like symptoms during catamenia.

But on exploration, Ammonium Carb. turns out to be a SPOILED BRAT. One who is in habit of leading a sedentary life. He wants to remain in his ownself1, at ease2, absorbed3 in his own world, without much contradiction4 in his lifestyle.

1.      BED: REMAIN IN, DESIRES TO

HOMESICKNESS

BESIDE ONESELF, BEING

2.      INDOLENT

3.      ABSORBED

4.      CONTRADICTION: INTOLERANT OF

He is very cheerful5, defiant6, ecstatic7, exuberant8, vivacious9, when he is at peace and leading the life his own way. Although he is lazy but very intelligent10, so he is favourite among his teachers.

5.      CHEERFULNESS

6.      DEFIANT

7.      ECSTASY

8.      EXUBERANCE

9.      VIVACIOUSNESS

10.   INDOLENCE, AVERSION TO WORK: INTELLIGENT, ALTHOUGH VERY

Ammonium carb’s complaints begin when he has to leave his bed i.e. his sedentary and sessile lifestyle (situation to which he is adapted and is very comfortable in). This could be at physical or mental plane. Eg. From doing work11; from working faster than before12; from contradiction13; from disappointment or deception14.

11.   BUSINESS: AILMENTS FROM, AGG.

12.   HURRY, HASTE: AILMENTS FROM, AGG

13.   CONTRADICTION: AILMENTS FROM, AGG.

14.   DISAPPOINTMENT, DECEPTION AGG., AILMENTS FROM

His loss of comfort (physical or mental) makes him so susceptible that he becomes sensitive to all external impressions15; cowardice16; hypochondriasis17; imbecility18 to such an extent that he starts imagining himself as criminal19.

He broods and plans to talk about the things he had been hurt by, all the night, but forgets in morning20.

15.   SENSITIVE, OVERSENSITIVE: IMPRESSIONS, TO ALL EXTERNAL

16.   COWARDICE

CONFIDENCE, WANT OF SELF

17.   HYPOCHONDRIASIS

18.   IMBECILITY

19.   DELUSIONS, IMAGINATIONS: CRIMINAL, THAT HE IS A

 DELUSIONS, IMAGINATIONS: CRIME; COMMITTED, HE HAD

20.   DWELLS: EVENTS, ON PAST DISAGREEABLE: NIGHT: OTHERS, CAUSED BY, PLANS TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT, BUT FORGETS IN MORNING

He becomes irritable; morose; sad; quarrelsome; discontented with everything; indifferent.

Rubrics describing his state are as follows:

21.   IRRITABILITY: WEATHER: STORMY IN

22.   IRRITABILITY: WEATHER: RAIN OR CLOUDY IN

23.   IRRITABILITY: MENSES: DURING: AGG

24.   QUARRELSOME, SCOLDING: MENSES: DURING

25.   HELPLESSNESS: HEART COMPLAINTS, IN

26.   MOROSE, SULKY: MENSES: DURING

27.   WEEPING, TEARFUL MOOD: RISING, AFTER

28.   CONFUSION OF MIND: MENSES: DURING

29.   DREAMS: WANT OF

30.   DISCONTENTED: EVERYTHING WITH

The word “menses” here refers to the loss in the comfort zone.

This spoiled brat becomes unmanageable and hysteric. He develops want of moral feelings. Envy, maliciousness and capriciousness defines him at this stage.



I sum up here describing only the picture of spoiled brat, although, a lot more is hidden to explore about the personality of ammonium carbonicum.
