Cupr, Cuprum metallicum

Abdominal colic

• Cuprum is the first line of metals in the Periodic Table along with Zinc, Ferr, Nicc, and Mang. (Cupr ₳ Zinc)
• It is a psoric remedy.
• As with the other metals, Cupr also has the theme of attack, defense and performance.
• The main feeling of Cupr is that of being attacked. He feels he has to be prepared for a sudden attack and has to attack back. This feeling comes in paroxysms in contrast to Zinc which feels attacked continuously.
• This is the theme of war, and Cupr has a lot to do with war and armies.
• Delusion of being an officer, a great person, a person of rank, a general.
• Feeling of being attacked and the need to defend is also reflected in his hobbies, which often include the martial arts such as judo, karate, etc. Funnily enough, Cuprum has the symptom: “Fists are clenched during convulsion”.
