The basic vitality of the very self (physically/mentally) weak and
prone to insults of various sorts and therefore reacts violently to the
slightest external stimulus.
It reacts intermittently, or in short paroxysms, because the feeble and
tired self cannot afford to be continuously agitated. Even this intermittent
reaction leads to
eventual exhaustion and enfeeblement.
Irritation, excitement and oversensitivity soon followed by debility,
exhaustion of vital powers. Eventually leading to a totally collapsed state.
Easy exhilaration and excitement leading to exalted fancies, making
verses, everything looks beautiful.
Low vitality. EXhaustion, debility, prostration, insomnia.
Mental over-stimulation/plannING/too much creative activity/sleepless.
SensiTIV to noise, touch, odor, etc.
Irritation and excitement of the nervous system.
Congestion of the head and lungs due to irritation of the brain or
bronchi.
Irritated and inflamed eyes.
Sleepless due to excitable state.
Nervous diarrhoea/nausea/vomiting, etc. Profuse discharges/weak
digestion/distension of abdomen.

required by these remedies to cover up their weak, exhausted, cowardly side.
General periodicity.
[Sankaran]
Sleeplessness and lots of thoughts and
activities of the mind as it belongs to the Coffea family, Rubiaceae.
[David Quinn]
The primary emotional state common to all remedies of the Rubiaceae
family is something close to the feeling of apathy. A kind of not wanting to do
anything.
Dr. Sankaran gives the outstanding sensation of the remedies here to be
that of stimulation or ‘overstimulated’. Similar to Vithoulkas referring to
China as a ‘nervous erethism’. This over-stimulation or nervous erethism is the
opposite to apathy. Coffea of course is known for its effects as a stimulant. I
think what this means is that the suppression of feelings we have leads us into
an opposite state to the primary feeling, which is comparable to the
artificially induced effects of taking substances for their secondary reaction,
an effect that is also the opposite to the actual main feeling of the
substance.
