Which remedy's hallmark includes fatigue, indifference, irritability, craving for salty foods, worse from standing but better with movement?

• A. Natrum muriaticum
• B. Bryonia
• C. Sepia
• D. Phosphorus

Answer: (C)

The question tests recognizing the Sepia profile: a worn-out, emotionally blunted state with a specific craving and a distinct movement–standing pattern. In Sepia, fatigue is deep and all-encompassing — the person feels physically exhausted and mentally indifferent, often with irritability that stems from that exhaustion. A craving for salty foods is a characteristic clue, reflecting the debility and need to counteract it with salt. The modality fits a sepia temperament: the symptoms are worse from standing, as if upright posture worsens the heaviness and venous congestion, but better with movement, which helps stimulate circulation and energy. This combination of fatigue, indifference with irritability, salt craving, and the standing-worse, movement-better pattern most clearly matches Sepia, more so than the other remedies.
