“Nux is chiefly successful with persons of an ardent character; of

an irritable, impatient temperament, disposed to anger, spite or
deception.”-Hahnemann.

food; over-eating (ant. c.); long-continued mental over-exertion; sedentary habits; loss of
sleep (coc., colch., nit. Ac.); aromatic or patent medicine; sitting on cold stones, especially in
warm weather.

UNDERSTANDING

Nux people have something of the warrior in their blood. Success is not enough for Nux. It is
winning that gives meaning to his life, and at the moment of conquest he experiences his
sweet- est pleasure. After a victory, Nux does not rest on his laurels. He is quick to
consolidate his power, and to seek new battles to fight, and new territory to conquer.
Exaggeration, excess of normally beneficial qualities of ambition and consciousness.
Ambition begins to occupy him during all hrs of day and night, becoming driving ambition,
overemphasise on achievement and competition.
Nux can become workaholic dominated by work.
Fastidious but especially is tied to emphasis on efficiency (in the workplace he wants his
things in places he can easily see and take so that his work is not delayed) so fastidiousness
is not pathological like Arsenic.
He responds by working harder and longer, expecting more from himself and others,
carrying the assumption that any challenge, any problem can be overcome by sheer efforts
and ability, and can't accept limitations.
To keep up with pressure, he comes to use stimulants, drugs, alcohol, beverages and
consequently suffers from indulgences.
Hypersexual individual, despite being bound by work ethic, nux is not typically an upright,
moralistic personality, he wants sex, indulgences in sexual excess and land up into
impotence.
Overindulges may meet up his need for a while but eventually toxicity increase which make
him more vulnerable and disease occurs.

Example:
A businessman has been at his desk until he is tired out, he receives many letters, he has a
great many irons in the fire; he is troubled with a thousand little things; his mind is constantly
hurried from one thing to another until he is tortured. It is not so much the heavy affairs but
the little things. He is compelled to stimulate his memory to attend to all the details; he goes
home and thinks about it; he lies awake at night; his mind is confused with the whirl of
business and the affairs of the day crowd upon him; finally, brain-fag comes on. When the
details come to him he gets angry and wants to get away, tears things up, scolds, goes
home and takes it out on his family and children. Sleeps by fits and starts; wakes at 3 a.m.
and his business affairs crowd on him so that he cannot sleep again until late in the morning
when he falls into a fatiguing sleep and wakes up tired and exhausted. He wants to sleep
late in the morning.``

Pressure becomes too much and nux vom becomes impatient and irritable, impatient with
himself and others, scolding and reproaching others at trifles.
He is intolerant to contradiction, he can resign the employee in one ego if contradicting. He
knows what is right and wrong, he follows his own rules if he thinks that is wrong means
wrong no one should contradict.
He speaks his truth without regard for the feelings of other people (Kent: 'Indiscretion'),
which is very attractive to some, and very threatening to others, particularly those who like to
pretend they are some- thing other than what they are.
Nux has enormous reserves of energy, which endear him to fight on without flagging until the
battle is won. This energy is in part a result of his physical strength and fitness, in part a
perpetual creation of his endless determination. Most individuals lead such hectic lives .. that
they exhaust those around them. Then on to a nightclub for drinks, before retiring ex-
hausted but exhilarated. In order to sustain this lifestyle a good many Nux individuals invest
time regularly in keeping fit.
Nux is scratchy when things do not go well, he tends to be far more buoyant and cheerful
than Arsenicum and Natrum when things are running smoothly. Nux thrives on success, and
the Nux boss will often be found humming to himself and being mischievous with his staff
during the good times. He is a sociable type, and particularly enjoys intelligent, confident
company, and also those he considers sexy. Не can be the most pleasant of bosses when
happy, and the most intimidating when displeased.
In keeping with his kingly persona, Nux tends to have the attitude that only the best is good
enough for him, and if for some reason he can't afford the best, he usually knows somebody
who can help out, or else he will buy now and pay later. After all, his abundant skills and his
effortless self-promotion ensure him a profitable future, or so he reckons, and he is usually
right. (A good example is the Nux entrepreneur who actually owes more millions than he
earns. Thanks to his self-confidence, his credit is seen as so good that he can go on
borrowing to finance his extravagant lifestyle, and nobody seems to mind that he owes
several fortunes.) Nux sees nothing wrong in buying the most expensive luxuries, since he
feels himself to be a King.
