        abstract = {The homoeopathic remedy Nelumbo nucifera—derived from Lotus —remains an under-represented medicine in classical Materia Medica, with limited proving data and sparse clinical documentation. This study aims to decode the psychological and psycho-spiritual essence of Lotus through a reverse repertorial analysis of mental rubrics, primarily sourced from Complete Repertory. By systematically analyzing recurrent mind rubrics—including confusion of identity, alternating mental states, spiritual delusions, irritability, despair, and tranquillity—a coherent personality profile emerges that reflects a profound inner polarity.
This paper highlights Lotus as a remedy for individuals who appear spiritually inclined and morally sensitive yet struggle with emotional disorientation, psychic overwhelm, and fluctuating mental clarity. The study underscores the value of reverse repertory in illuminating lesser-known remedies and advocates for further provings and clinical verification of Lotus in homoeopathic practice.},
