Description and indications for the use of a homeopathic preparation of a homeopathic preparation CHAMOMILLA
Great sensitivity to the environment, people, situations. Great fear of blowing wind when she is at home. Strong anxiety. Clings to others with acute respiratory infections. There may be illnesses after suffering grief.
Children have aggression, irritability and demands, they begin to yell if you do not give what they demand. They scream for no reason, but there is no anger. They will beat anyone, regardless of age, spit. Pulls out his hair.
Adults have very strong irritability, it can be for no reason, they are annoyed by everything and they don’t understand why, they don’t know what they want. Even the clothes they wear can be annoying. Quarrels with neighbors, swears. Loses control over himself. The ill-mannered. Uncivilized (boorish) behavior of an educated cultured intelligent person (Sif. miasm). The patient insists that the doctor cure him immediately. Red face, angry, shaking. Easily explodes, easily offended. Sharp.
Can't stand pain. Pain in teeth, better from cold water. Aggressive (Bell., Nux.). Angry, angry, looking down, rude, uncivilized, rudeness. At the reception, he does not look at the doctor, he looks at his feet.
Child - can hit anyone, spits. Pulls out his hair. Screams loudly (Cina whines, annoys with her whining, gundos, speaks through her nose) (Meta). Demands that the mother carry him in her arms while hitting her on the cheeks (children who do not like to be carried or lifted are the Bryonia type).
Pain during menstruation extends up the back and down along the thighs. Pain and numbness in the leg at the same time.
The delusion that she is being insulted. Intolerance towards others (sif. miasm). Looks down. Dissatisfied with myself. Bad mood, complains all the time. Moans, heat in the face.
Pain intolerance, despair. When at last all this will end - pain, illness. Insomnia. Dull. Absent-mindedness - sits and looks ahead.
Suffering during digestion, during defecation - intolerance to physiological processes - the primary psora.
Delusion: She is punished for possessing a body. Everything that happens physiologically to the body causes pain.
Secondary psora is a projection of these sufferings to the whole world. Wants to protect himself. But these processes are unstable: they appear and then disappear. Everything I do is good. Everything others do is bad: sycotic defense. Syphilitic defense - withdraws into itself, isolates, catatonia. Or becomes cruel, harsh, rude to others. Tertiary psora - protective processes become permanent.
From observations: Several friends, having studied an article about chamomile as a harmless panacea for all diseases, published in a popular publication (which, as you know, are not responsible for the quality of advertising and published recipes placed on their pages), decided to use chamomile instead of tea and water. , constantly, daily and in unlimited quantities for yourself and your children. But, it should be noted that medicinal herbs, even non-poisonous ones, are not food products, and their use, both internally and externally, must be justified, strictly dosed and individually. Knowing homeopathic pharmacology, one can imagine what a disorder of physical and mental health such a thoughtless use of our simple chamomile could lead to.
“Medicinal substances are those substances which have the power to influence the animal body in both its healthy and diseased state.”
The practical application of homeopathic remedies required extensive and detailed trials on healthy people. The report of these tests constitutes a special homeopathic pharmacology. Homeopathy makes use of all the observations about poisoning and experiments on animals, which are the essence of the usual pathogenic material, but to them we add more important pure tests on healthy people. In homeopathy, the data of the manuals on toxicology and pharmacology are fully taken into account.
Homeopathic pharmacology has a distinctive feature. Under it is understood not the medicinal substances themselves, but the totality of their pathogenic effects on a healthy organism. Of these disease-causing actions, some make observations on poisonings and the effects of excessive doses; but the vast majority represent the result of tests on a healthy human body, as well as indirect effects in giving them as a medicine. In homeopathic treatment, one cannot be satisfied with a few symptoms, which are perhaps enough to determine the disease.
CHAMOMILLA is an annual plant with a 15-40cm stem. height. Stems solitary, branched. The leaves are doubly pinnately divided into narrow linear lobes. Baskets solitary, at the ends of stems and branches 1.5-2 cm in diameter. Marginal flowers - female, reed, white, median - bisexual, yellow, tubular. Widespread in Europe and Asia. Chamomile is not poisonous and does not produce toxic effects. However, it is known that chamomile can cause bleeding in pregnant women with subsequent miscarriage.
This modest and common plant attracted the attention of Hahnemann early on. As early as 1805, the first pathogenesis of CHAMOMILLA contained 275 symptoms, and in 1825 another 219 symptoms were added to the pathogenesis. Later, Dr. Allen gave a pathogenesis, which already consisted of 1446 symptoms.
Chamomile, once much used by physicians, became only a home remedy in Hahnemann's time. Its main use was in diseases of the uterus, whence it takes its name. Matricaria(from matrix - uterus). Hahnemann's tests and its application proved that in terms of its multilateral action on the human body, this remedy is used much more widely in homeopathy than in conventional medicine.
This remedy has been repeatedly tested on healthy people, which made it possible to establish the type of patient on whom it acts especially successfully. CHAMOMILLA is indicated for persons extremely sensitive to pain and external stimuli such as touch, cold, wind, pressure. Intolerance to any pain leads them to resort to drugs, which was noted by Hahnemann in his time.
CHAMOMILLA affects primarily the nervous system. Its pathogenetic action is weak and unclear, but its medicinal properties are very definite. Of the pains indicating CHAMOMILLA, Hahnemann said: “Their peculiarity is that they are worse at night, when they drive a person almost to madness and are often accompanied by indefatigable thirst, heat and redness of the cheeks, as well as hot sweat of the head. In general, these pains seem completely unbearable. ... The paralytic sensation excited by CHAMOMILLA in all parts is always accompanied by drawing and tearing pains, and drawing and tearing pains are rarely without a feeling of numbness or paralytic sensation in this part.
Irritability of the motor nerves is manifested in those clonic convulsions to which women and small children are subjected. The most important indication for this remedy is in such patients extreme irritability, which they are often aware of, but cannot control. When the nervous system is excited during teething, which is accompanied by restlessness, melancholy and convulsions.

A strange case (from the practice of Buel N.S. and Urbansky A.P.)
Old patients asked us to help the youngest member of their family, a six-year-old boy. The little patient, at first glance, gave the impression of complete health. However, from the story of his grandmother, we learned that almost daily, for unknown reasons, the child runs away from home to a wasteland, which is located a few yards from their house, and where he is found every time bitterly crying. The child himself does not understand why he runs away there. But this is repeated with him daily, several times a day, for several months now. This behavior makes parents worry, because the child will go to school in six months, and he behaves so strangely. After a long communication with the child and parents, taking into account all the collected anamnesis, the boy was given Chamomilla. A week later, to the surprise of the grandmother and parents, the baby stopped running away to the wasteland. Three months later, the child calmly went to school. During the year, no more recurrences of strange behavior were observed.

Chamomile or mother herb. The tincture is made from the whole fresh plant, and the rubbing is made from the same parts, dried and powdered. The pathogenesis of Chamomilla is found in Hahnemann's "Pure Medicine Science". Type of According to Berike, hamomillas are irritable, sensitive, hot, sleepy and changeable. A calmly suffering patient is not a hamomilla patient. Thus, it suits especially children and nervous hysterical women. The Chamomilla type is well defined: sullen, angry, quarrelsome, always displeased, answers questions rudely, and is extremely sensitive to pain, which drives him to despair. Characteristic 1. Strong irritability. 2. Hypersensitivity to the slightest pain, accompanied by excitement and groans. Fainting. 3. Restlessness and insomnia due to pain and extreme sensitivity. 4. Feeling of numbness, which occurs simultaneously with pain or alternating with it (rheumatism, paralytic condition). 5. Feeling of heat in the soles of the feet. The patient sticks them out from under the covers (pulsatilla, sulfur). 6. One cheek red and hot, the other pale and cold. 7. Perspiration on the face after eating and drinking. 8. Intolerable pain in the abdomen in the morning, at sunrise. Pain. Acute, neuralgic. The patient takes them very badly, with fainting, restlessness, groans and nervousness. The pains are often accompanied by or alternating with numbness, and sometimes afterwards. The pains are aggravated by heat, but are not relieved by cold, as are the pains of Pulsatilla. Chair. Diarrhea during teething. Very painful diarrhoea, with bloating and rumbling in the abdomen, accompanied by restlessness and nausea. The stool is green with a disgusting smell of rotten eggs. Menses: premature, profuse and extremely painful. The blood is black with clots. Colic with pressure from below upwards. Summary Chamomilla is called the mother herb, as it is one of the important remedies for childbirth and for pathological complications after them. It is called a bachelorette party because it helps with painful menstruation in young girls. Great remedy for teething.indications for use
Main indications NERVOUS. Hysteria: extreme susceptibility, tendency to faint, convulsions with groans and despair. Lethargy. Ecstasy. ANGER. Hamomilla is the best remedy for anger. Neuralgia with severe pains, especially if the pains are poorly tolerated and cause the patient to become irritated and desperate. In these cases, good results are obtained from alternating hamomilla with belladonna. TOOTH ache caused by hot food or drink. DIGESTIVE disorders during teething. Chamomilla is an excellent remedy for anxiety, gloom, spasms and diarrhea. But if there are cerebral symptoms with epileptiform convulsions, belladon should be given. Gastralgia and convulsions in the stomach. Chamomilla, along with belladonna and ignatia, are the main remedies for gastralgia attacks. In addition to the general nature of the pains, it is also indicated by the redness of the face, general sweats due to pain and swelling in the stomach. An attack of pain easily causes pallor of the face, fainting, nausea and vomiting, and convulsions in children. SEXUAL ORGANS. Simple uterine bleeding or due to abortion. After childbirth or in cases of simple menorrhagia. The blood is red and clotted. The patient yawns. Slight chill alternating with heat, redness of the face, or at least one cheek, intermittently alternating with pallor, melancholy, restlessness, diarrhoea. Painful menses. In these cases, hamomilla is the traditional remedy. Violent pains, slight chills, vomiting, diarrhoea, and fainting spells indicate this remedy. COUGH, especially in children. Strong, dry, aggravated at night, even in sleep, and the patient does not wake up. Catarrh in children during dentition, one cheek red, the other pale, screaming, restless, colic, diarrhoea, restless sleep with sudden awakening. FEVER. Violent chilliness with sensation of icy cold. Violent heat, one cheek red and hot, the other cold and pale, burning in the eyes. Profuse hot sweats general or only head and hands.action on the body
Physiological action Hamomilla acts primarily on the nervous system. It is a precious remedy for severe morbid susceptibility of the sensory and motor nerves. This is manifested by spasms and convulsions, both in pregnant women and in young children. The action of hamomilla extends to the emotional nervous system. The consequences of major trouble, anger and annoyance are under her control even when, bypassing the nervous system, they are expressed in bilious disorders. Apparently, it has some special effect on the dental pulp and on the gums. The action of chamomilla on the digestive organs is expressed in convulsions, colic and diarrhea; constipation occurs as a rare exception and, obviously, the action is secondary. Hamomilla causes uterine bleeding with colic in the uterus, as in childbirth, with the release of blood clots. Its action on the respiratory tract is expressed by the symptoms of acute catarrh.dosage
Hamomilla begins to show its therapeutic effect only from the 6th dilution. Often it is successfully used in 18 dilutions. The 12th was R. Yuz's favorite breeding.Chamomilla / Chamomilla - pharmacy chamomile

Characteristics: This remedy is suitable for hypersensitive, irritable, restless, ill-humoured patients who have redness and localized fever of the cheek on the affected side. The drug is not suitable for mild, calm, quietly suffering patients. Predominantly a remedy for children, used for difficult teething with diarrhea and unbearable pain in the jaw or ear.
The general constitutional feature of Chamomilla is hypersensitivity; she is sensitive to any impressions, surroundings, people, and finally, everything else pales before her hypersensitivity to pain. The constitutionally determined irritability is so pronounced that any, even minor pain, can cause symptoms that indicate the terrible suffering of the patient. The remedy usually corresponds to the state of the female nervous system, when the patient is literally agitated, and extremely sensitive to pain.
Along with this, a characteristic mental state is also determined: mental sensitivity and pronounced irritability. These two features are so closely intertwined in the pathogenesis of Chamomilla that they become completely inseparable from each other. Sensitivity to pain. They are easily offended and upset, so that the nervous system becomes extremely susceptible to such manifestations, pains, convulsions, colic, headaches and other types of nervous symptoms occur. After punishment, such nervous children have convulsions. Nervous women with hypersensitivity are often distressed. Twitching and spasms of muscles from resentment or excitement. Hypersensitivity of the nervous structures, this symptom is so pronounced that only a few remedies are suitable for it, among them Coffea, Nux vomica. Opium.
You have not yet heard a lecture on Opium, so it is natural that you think of Opium as a drug that can only cause stupor. Those of you who have observed the terrible state of mind and body which usually follow the administration of Opium will easily understand what I mean by Chamomilla sensitivity. Convulsions in children. This, unfortunately, is not uncommon even today, especially in countries where nannies and young mothers give babies chamomile tea for colic, after which the children often begin to have convulsions. It would never occur to anyone to associate these symptoms with chamomile tea, but the doctor should always keep this in mind and recognize such cases; if he knows Chamomilla well, he will have no difficulty in associating the convulsions with the use of chamomile tea.
So, in such cases, you will see twitches, convulsions, a hot head, hypersensitivity. Sensitivity to noises, to surroundings, between spasms strong irritability is possible. Convulsions in children: the whole body tenses up, the eyes roll out, the face is distorted, there are twitching of the muscles, tossing of the limbs, clenching of the thumbs, the body arches back. These symptoms are common in Chamomilla convulsions; such manifestations often accompany painful teething. In fact, teething is a completely natural process, but it often looks like a disease, many doctors know medicines for "teething" and prescribe them, first one thing, then another. Chamomilla is doomed to do a disservice and is often used in "teething." Indeed, during this period, many children suffer from increased irritability of the brain tissue, convulsions, gastric disorders and vomiting, but, I repeat once again that teething should not be considered as a disease, since it is the norm. In healthy children, teeth erupt without causing them much suffering. Medical assistance should be resorted to only in cases of delayed teething, when this is combined with states of irritation, hypersensitivity, as a result of which the child cannot sleep. Wakes as if from a terrible dream. Wakes agitated, may vomit, diarrhea - green, slimy stools resembling chopped grass. Fetid diarrhea during teething. These symptoms usually occur when the baby was not properly cared for or the mother was not ready enough to give birth. "Tetanic convulsions, twitching of the eyelids, pains in the limbs, great prostration, fainting." Neuralgic pains all over the body, with numbness. Jerking, stinging, tingling pains. Most of the pains are relieved by heat, with the exception of the symptoms of the teeth and jaws. Toothache is better from cold and worse from heat. Earaches and pains in limbs are ameliorated by heat.
In the text under the heading "Temperature and weather" you will find the symptom "Pains are aggravated by heat", highlighted with two black bars to indicate its importance, and just below it without any highlighting: "Sensitive to cold. Chilly" and "Better from the heat"; in fact, only pains in the teeth and jaws are aggravated by heat (this is a particular symptom affecting certain parts of the body), while the general condition of the patient, on the contrary, is improved by heat. In general, the pains are ameliorated by heat. The whole condition of the patient is better from the heat. Pains concerning the teeth are usually worse from heat, and this is a particular symptom.
The most important part of the pathogenesis of Chamomilla is represented by the peculiarities of the psyche. They are reflected in the whole organism, you will see that in each of its areas, in each part considered, the features of the mental state of the patient can be traced. This remedy has more mental symptoms than morbid manifestations in other parts and organs. Cry. "Mournful lamentations. Irritability". Irritability is expressed so strongly that it sometimes manifests itself in a rather strange way. It seems that the pains drive the patient into a frenzy, she forgets about caution and decency. Loses nobility; she no longer cares about other people's emotions. She intervenes in an argument or dispute, regardless of the feelings of others. Therefore, having started the practice, do not be surprised if, going up to the bed of a patient who has contractions accompanied by pain and suffering, you hear: “Doctor, I didn’t call you, if you please get out.” Another Chamomilla patient under different circumstances will behave in exactly the same way. The terrible pains she experiences drive her into a frenzy; her rage, hypersensitivity to pain echoes her mental state. She is not able to control her temperament, which brings her to white heat.
Now about children: the child whines, cries and spits for any reason; every minute he needs new entertainment. Refuses everything he just asked for. Whether it is something edible or some kind of toys that are handed to the child, he throws everything on the floor, scatters it all over the room. He hits the nanny in the face because she offered him something that he does not want, although five minutes ago he asked for exactly this. Capricious. All pains and sufferings are relieved by passive movements. This symptom is generally characteristic of children. The pains are reduced when the baby is carried in his arms, so he wants to be kept in his arms. Similar symptoms often occur with colic or stomach problems. The same is true of earaches, and of evening fevers, and of general symptoms brought on by exposure to cold or teething. The child needs to be worn. The nanny has to keep the baby in her arms all the time. Characterized by anxiety and whims in relation to all family members. The nanny with the child goes around the room in a circle two or three times, after which he insistently asks for his mother; walks around the room two or three times in her arms, then crosses over to dad. And so constantly. He never calms down, never satisfied with anything. In diseases of the ears, sharp, shooting pains make the child squeal. Brings hands to ears. Pain often causes the voice to take on a harsh, shrill tone.
In adults, the pains are so severe that they cannot endure them calmly; they don't always actually get better from moving, but they seem to. They move because they just can't stay still. Thus, while in bed, the Chamomilla patient is constantly tossing about, never lying still. Along with all these signs, there is also a strong irritability. The pain makes the patient very agitated; he is angry at the pain; she annoys him; he scolds her; the pain turns into a real torture for him. Characterized by aversion to conversations, captiousness and irritability. When there is no pain, the patient simply sits and looks inward.
Chamomilla is characterized by melancholy, the presence of mental complaints and the absence of pain. In such cases the Chamomilla patient sits and thinks to herself, a kind of self-contemplation. It is impossible to force her to utter a word, she yearns. The Chamomilla child must not be touched. He wants everything to be aimed at giving him pleasure. Longs for change; always wants something new. Both adult patients and children answer questions with irritation. Complaints arise when they are contradicted and out of anger. Convulsions from anger. In whooping cough, the child has a coughing fit, and a spasmodic cough, after something irritates him. He reacts violently, his face turns red, and soon begins to cough. Grumpiness. “He likes to argue. Often angry or enraged. Bad consequences of insults and hurt feelings. These are the most characteristic features of the mental state of this remedy. As I have already said, such mental symptoms accompany every condition of the Chamomilla patient. whether it be pneumonia, bronchitis, laryngitis, inflammatory lesions of the ears, erysipelas, headaches or fevers. In all these cases Chamomilla is capable of producing a brilliant curative effect, of course in those cases where the characteristic mental as well as particular symptoms of this remedy are present.
Chamomilla headaches occur in sensitive patients, more often in women. Nervous, too tense and tired. Fussy, restless. Excitable women who suffer from pain. Even a small headache is perceived by them as something terrible. Throbbing, tearing, explosive headaches. Congestive headaches. Worse from thoughts of pain, or generally from thoughts of illness and suffering. Headaches get worse in the evening. The characteristic time when many complaints are intensified is 9 o'clock, sometimes 9 o'clock in the morning, sometimes 9 o'clock in the evening. Symptoms of fever are usually worse at 9 am. The pains get worse in the evening, especially around 9 o'clock. Stitching, tearing pains in temples and whole head. Wandering pains in the temples. Pressing pains in the head, appear as soon as attention is paid to them, relief comes if you think about something else, do something, force yourself to think about something or find a job. Head congestion. Sharp neuralgic pains in the face, teeth, ears, in the sides of the head. Pain in the mouth, better from cold. Pain in ears and sides of head is better from heat.
Characterized by pain in the eyes. Inflammatory lesions of the eyes with bleeding. Leakage of bloody fluid from the eyes in newborns. Chamomilla will also help patients with an overly irritable temperament. Profuse, acrid discharge; yellow color; purulent discharge from the eyes. Sharp pressure in the orbit of the eyes. Lachrymation accompanying coryza with sneezing. Nasal congestion. Headaches, irritability. Along with the above, the following symptoms are possible: "The face is red, hot on one side, pale on the other." As with the whole constitution of this remedy, there is a heightened sense of hearing. Roaring, ringing and chattering in the ears. Stitching pains in ears, better from heat. Pressing pains in the ears. When the pain begins, the child grabs his ears with his hands, groans plaintively, whimpers and screams. Sharp pains in the ears. Older children, who can already clearly articulate their sensations, complain of a feeling of heat in the ear, a feeling of fullness, as if the ear canal is narrowed or completely blocked. Among adults, nervous, sensitive women are most often affected, who cannot bear to ride in the wind with bare ears. Their ears are extremely sensitive to air, while nothing of the kind is noted either from other parts of the face, or from the head in general. Some patients cannot stand it when the wind blows around their neck. Others need to carefully cover their shoulders. Chamomilla is capable of selectively affecting the ears. It is possible that the whole body of the patient is sensitive to cold and to air in general, he tries to put on as much as possible.
Sneezing, runny nose. The face is hot on one side, and there is often pain in the head and jaws. Coryza, viscous, acrid, with loss of smell. Decreased sense of smell continues throughout the cold.
Tearing pains in the face, at times involving both the teeth and the side of the face. It is not uncommon to find a very sensitive woman who was very upset and annoyed after a quarrel with the servants. She retired to her room, she is tormented by pain in her face, the causes of which are excitement and anger. If the extrinsic nerves of the face are involved, the pains are ameliorated by heat; when the teeth are affected, the pains are ameliorated by cold. The face is hot while the rest of the body is cold. "Sweating of the face after eating or drinking." For this remedy, the most characteristic feature is perspiration only in the region of the head, its scalp. Sometimes during measles or scarlet fever there may be symptoms of Chamomilla. Sweating of head, face reddened on one side only. "Swelling of only one cheek"; as a result of the inflammatory reaction, the cheek becomes redder and redder, eventually acquires a purple hue, erysipelas occurs with characteristic mental symptoms. Hot face, redness on one side. Burning in the face. Neuralgia in the face.
Warm food or drink put into the mouth causes aching pain in the teeth, and sometimes burning and throbbing in the roots of the teeth; tearing, stabbing, pinching pains, aggravated during a conversation; worse outdoors, warm room or warm bed. Anything that warms the body will aggravate the pain in the teeth; better after rinsing with cold liquid or drinking cold drinks. Toothache that is absent during the day. As soon as night falls and the patient lies down in a warm bed, these shooting, tearing pains begin. Chamomilla toothache is often associated with irritability, hypersensitivity to pain, with a characteristic mental state that the head becomes hot. “Swelling and inflammation of the gums. Threat of an abscess in the gums. Toothache on entering a warm room, especially when all these symptoms are better in cold air. Toothache may come on from taking a cold, after a perspiring patient has been exposed to cold air, although already existing toothache is always better from cold. "Pain in the teeth from draft." “Better after eating chilled foods. Worse before midnight. Most of the symptoms of Chamomilla, which come on in the evening and at night, are better before or sometimes after midnight. From midnight until morning almost all Chamomilla complaints are gone. Many of them are absent during the day. Characterized by worsening in the first half of the night. “Teeth seem too long. Swollen gums." Chamomilla children often hold a glass of cold water close to the gums. Inflamed gums in babies, sore gums, teething causes great pain, it seems that they want to keep a cold mouth longer. The child is still so small that you would not even think that he would be able to guess that by holding the edge of a cold glass in his mouth, he can help himself. Offensive, disgusting odor from the mouth.
In children, spasms that affect mainly the larynx are possible. "Cramps in the larynx with or without coughing. Spasmodic constriction of the larynx. Suffocation. Throat spasms. Pain and inflammation." Chamomilla cures a sore throat, especially in cases where the local soreness extends to the whole throat, accompanied by great swelling. Tonsillitis. Strong redness; with characteristic mental symptoms. This remedy is ineffective in sore throats, except when they are combined with a peculiar, irritable constitution, one that suffers from pain and quickly becomes angry in response to any stimuli. Before administering Chamomilla in sore throats, one must be sure that the characteristic mental symptoms of this remedy are present.
“Loss of appetite. Great thirst for cold water and desire for sour drinks. Unquenchable thirst." Aversion to coffee, warm drinks, soups and liquid foods. An aversion to coffee is an amazing trait. Chamomilla and coffee are similar in general sensitivity. They are antidotes for each other. Chamomilla can be used as an antidote in cases where the patient drinks too much coffee, such as nurses who drink coffee at night to stay awake and monitor the sick. Tired and overworked patients who abuse coffee. "Thirst and heat with pain." In cases where pain occurs, it does not matter where. The patient warms up, resulting in some actual fever. The face is red, especially on one side. Head hot; marked irritability.
Chamomilla is very characteristic of vomiting. Belching with gas that smells like hydrogen sulfide. The Chamomilla patient has violent urge to vomit. He makes incredible efforts to call her. It looks like his stomach is about to burst. Covered in cold sweat. Exhausted. This is similar to the effect of morphine, if you have ever seen a patient to whom the doctor prescribed an overdose of the drug - I hope that you will never be in the place of such a doctor. Never provoke a disease, you will meet with it sooner or later. It is possible that if you go to a city where an allopathic doctor practices, you will be able to observe the consequences of prescribing morphine to one of these hypersensitive patients; it is possible that for some time her pains will subside a little, but a strong eructation will begin, vomiting with sharp urges, which will end only after there is nothing left to vomit. A couple of minutes after the first dose, Chamomilla will cure these symptoms, it is the only remedy needed in such cases. It will stop the vomiting that follows from the administration of morphine and comes after its direct action has ended.
Colic, especially in young children and newborns. Pain in the stomach and abdomen. The child doubles over, screams and kicks; wants to be carried in the arms; terribly irritable: attacks come on in the evening; one side of the face is red, the other is pale; demands something, when it is given to him, refuses - this is the characteristic picture of Chamomilla colic. These are colic with the winds. They continue for some fractions of a minute, then pass. It seems that they are based on spasms with flatulence. Adults who can describe these symptoms speak of cutting, burning pains. Cramping pains, which are usually called colic. Spasms in the intestines. Possible contractions, reminiscent of the urge to a chair. The abdomen is distended like a drum. Improvement sometimes comes from warm compresses. "Colic during urination"; although this symptom is rare. "Colic in the morning. Abdominal tympanitis.
The most distinctive feature of Chamomilla is green grass-like stools, or chopped eggs, or a mixture of chopped eggs and grass; white and yellow mixed with slime like green grass or spinach. Greenish, watery, mucous discharge. Patients old enough to describe how they felt during the tests mentioned that the stool felt hot during bowel movements. It smells like hydrogen sulfide. Profuse stools; scanty stools with dysentery tenesmus. Watery diarrhoea, six or eight times a day. Mucous diarrhea. Green, watery stools, offensive and slimy. "Yellowish brown stool." There may also be constipation with the inability to strain. Paralytic weakness of the rectum; rectal inactivity. Great itching and soreness in the region of the rectum and anus, especially in the evening. The anus is swollen, with redness and swelling visible on examination.
Women of this type are usually sensitive to pain, irritable and picky, suffer greatly from even minor pain, many symptoms appear in their menstrual period. Menstrual flow black, clotted, disgusting in appearance. Cramp-like pains in the uterus, grasping and constricting, better from heat. "Increased sensitivity to pain", combined with pains and other complaints, a characteristic mental state, irritability, pickiness during menstruation. A profuse discharge of black clots is characteristic, whether it is menorrhagia or metrorrhagia. "Menstrual colic resulting from anger," which means violent spasmodic pains in the uterus during menstruation, especially if the patient had previously experienced great excitement that made her furious. Sexual irritability, emotions, mental disorders cause cramps during menstruation in a woman for whom they are not typical at all. These symptoms appear in her as if from a cold.
It is very effective in cases of membranous dysmenorrhea. Similar violations can occur in the first menstruation. Every month, a woman releases a small amount of membranes. This is usually accompanied by sharp, cramping pains, often with clots. In such cases, Chamomilla may be a palliative. It should not be regarded as a constitutional remedy, which, having a profound anti-psoric effect, can remove all symptoms and prevent future discharge of membranes, but it may well be a good palliative for the most violent attacks, which are accompanied by increased mental irritability; febrile symptoms relieved by heat; spasms and cramping pains, reminiscent of real contractions. “Yellow, burning leucorrhea. Too heavy menstruation; blood dark, almost black, clotted, with pain from back to front, loss of consciousness, cold extremities, intense thirst.
During pregnancy, women may also experience symptoms of Chamomilla. Irregular, false contractions. Contractions that are felt in atypical places. Contractions that involve the back too much. Contractions painful, cutting, tearing, screaming. The patient is very irritable; she curses the pain, the doctor; everyone around, puts the doctor out of the room, the midwife, and then calls her again; refuses everything that is offered to her. Contractions that are accompanied by a feeling of constriction and spasms here and there, indicating that some groups of uterine fibers are contracting in one direction, and others in the other. These are not the usual, regular contractions that usually occur during childbirth, the birth of an afterbirth or a child. If the doctor undertakes to observe a pregnant woman during childbirth, he must be able to choose the right medicines in order to remove these irregular contractions or prevent them when the time of childbirth comes. Then the pain will not be so strong. A woman will, of course, feel contractions, but they will not be so painful. It is not always possible to prepare a woman well for childbirth, often patients resist this. Before childbirth, more than at other times, women become especially picky and capricious, wanting to do everything their own way.
During the entire pregnancy, and sometimes after childbirth, women need treatment. Pregnancy is a time when they simply need treatment. At this time, symptoms appear that indicate disorders in the body that do not bother her at all at other times. They seem to doze off until pregnancy occurs; especially if the patient is of a psoric constitution, pregnancy becomes, as it were, a starting point, triggering the symptoms that are inherent in her constitution. Thus, pregnancy is a good time for the homeopath when he can study the patient well and prescribe her a constitutional remedy based on these symptoms, and not only remove them and prepare her for childbirth, but also change the vital activity of her body in many ways, so that she will live her life free from many diseases that might have remained hidden if not for a powerful trigger. All women should be aware of homeopathy in order to receive regular constitutional treatment during pregnancy. To do this, it is necessary to tell the doctor about everything, about all the details, ailments, all problems, only then will he be able to study the case in detail. The symptoms observed during pregnancy must be added to the constitutional symptoms that appear outside of pregnancy, since they are all manifestations of different aspects of the same person.
The patient should be treated, not the disease. Any malaise is just one of the forms of disturbances in order, disorders of the body's vital functions. During labor itself, and also in its immediate vicinity, Chamomilla causes irregular contractions, resembling hourglass contractions. "Stiffness of the cervix", residual pain after childbirth - these symptoms must be combined with a characteristic mental state and increased sensitivity to pain. "Postpartum hemorrhage". Cramps in the uterus every time the child is put to the breast, cramps in the back - Chamomilla cures these symptoms either singly or both. For symptoms such as cramps in the back and cramps in the abdomen while breastfeeding, the two main remedies to be kept in mind are Chamomilla and Pulsatilla. These drugs are quite different in mental characteristics. One is soft and supple, though capricious; the other is picky and irritable. Both are sensitive to pain, but Chamomilla is much more so than Pulsatilla.
Chamomilla is characterized by inflammation of the mammary glands. You cannot prescribe this remedy until you see its characteristic symptoms, but I am sure you will recognize the Chamomilla patient at once. The woman begins to have convulsions. At the beginning of labor, the husband enters the room in an irritated state, intending to "make the wife behave properly." This literally infuriates her and she starts having convulsions. In another situation, the doctor might not attach much importance to this, but here he immediately thinks: “Why not give this woman a dose of Chamomilla? It might have prevented convulsions." After taking the medicine, the patient is able to look at things more calmly and philosophically and often falls asleep.
Very characteristic are various attacks of suffocation, difficulty in breathing, inflammatory lesions of the larynx, etc., which you can read about. Chamomilla cough has several distinguishing features. It is a hard, dry, hacking cough. After falling asleep at night, the child continues to cough in his sleep. The child has a cold, he has a slight fever, his face is red on one side. After waking up, he is irritable. The child becomes angry during a minor cold or with a slight cough, he may also show signs of a slight lesion of the larynx or bronchial tree, somehow immediately, suddenly he becomes more excitable, wants to be carried. In response to the inconvenience caused, the non-fulfillment of his desires, or because of anger, he has violent attacks of coughing, which may be accompanied by vomiting. "Bouts of coughing from anger." This means that against the background of an already existing cold or cough, as a result of anger, the patient has coughing fits. Complaints related to coughing, and also complaints from the chest or larynx are worse at night. During colds, the Chamomilla patient has febrile symptoms at night, and the same applies to Chamomilla whooping cough and chest complaints. Many Chamomilla complaints are better after midnight. From 21.00 to midnight they usually intensify. "Dry cough, worse at night and during sleep." Dry cough with a cold. Rough, irritating cough in children in winter, with tickling in jugular notch, worse at night. Dry cough lasting during sleep. The cough is relieved when the child is placed in a warm bed. Chamomilla is very often used during whooping cough when the child wants to be carried; the nanny is busy with him all day. Cough with retching and vomiting, child very irritable, capricious and fastidious, coughs in sleep.
Now it will be easy for you to imagine chest symptoms. They are always associated with mental manifestations, irritability and coughing. It must be said that a chest cough differs little from both a cough with damage to the larynx and a cold cough. It's the same Chamomilla cough. Sleep cough. With many complaints, fever, colds. Acute complaints and small attacks are associated with burning in the limbs.
Stitching pains in limbs. Cramps in the muscles of the limbs on falling asleep. Along with pains in the limbs, and sometimes in other parts of the body, there is a feeling of numbness or pain with a feeling of deadness. Pain accompanied by numbness, sometimes complete loss of skin sensitivity. Sharp pains in the limbs along the long nerves remain, and the patient seems to be as sensitive to pain as I used to be. Great sensitivity to pain; the pain itself causes a sensation of numbness. In old books such pains were called paralyzing. Cramps in the limbs. Convulsions all over the body. “Cramps in the legs and calf muscles; tearing pains in the feet, following a violent chill. Burning in soles at night; sticks his feet out from under the blanket. Those who are accustomed to working according to a pattern, only when they see that the patient sticks his feet out from under the covers, immediately give Sulfur, although hot feet, their burning are present in the pathogenesis of a large number of remedies, and they all stick their feet out from under the covers, in order to to cool them down a bit. This is no reason to give Sulfur to all such patients.
Another characteristic of the pains, which begin at night, and sometimes before midnight, is their sharpness and intensity, so that the patient cannot be at rest. With these pains, a child wants to be carried all the time in his arms, this makes him feel a little better. When pain occurs in an adult, he gets out of bed and walks around the room. Paralyzing pains, pains ameliorated by heat, which compels one to rise from bed at night, with twitching in the limbs. Increased sensitivity to pain. Strong irritability. The Chamomilla patient cannot sleep at night. He is sleepy, like Belladonna, but cannot sleep. If he lies down during the day, he will immediately want to sleep. As soon as the time for a night's sleep comes, he wakes up, all night, especially the first half of it, he has insomnia, he cannot lie in one place. At times the Chamomilla patient has so many visions, he is so agitated in the first half of the night, he resorts to so many tricks to sleep, that when he finally falls asleep he twitches, has terrible dreams, and has many complaints and ailments. "Disturbing dreams. Sees terrible ghosts and shudders: dreams of deaths. Trying to sleep causes mental fatigue and physical fatigue.
