Belladonna, Bryonia, Calendula, Chamomilla, Ferrum phos

 

This week covers many of the baby remedies such as Chamomilla, Belladonna (and Pulsatilla). In the first year of a baby’s life, you can pretty much cover everything with these three remedies. But they’re not just for babies, these remedies work across all ages.

 

Belladonna covers high fevers, angry tantrums, and a croupy cough. This is also a go to for sun burn and sun stroke or sun sickness.

 

Bryonia is for a cough or headache or any situation where the person has lost the will to move but may be worrying about what they should be doing. For a splitting headache; a hard dry cough made worse by any motion. Stiff neck and back. This person wants to be very still and may be grumpy – think of a bear with a sore head.

 

Calendula is great for promoting the healing of minor cuts and grazes. Calendula is also great to use as a wash or in tincture form for cleaning wounds and can be purchased in cream and tincture form.

 

Chamomilla soothes tantrums, restlessness, screaming, ear infections and colic.  Think of Chamomilla for frustrated and contrary children who want say- pick me up put me down!  Less sick than belladonna not as weepy and delicate as pulsatilla which we will look at in week 5.

 

Ferrum phos – is for a collection of symptoms that make you think you are coming “down with something”. Taking a dose of Ferrum phos at this early stage may prevent a cold from developing further.

Consider for nose bleeds; feeling under the weather; for a slight fever with no other symptoms.

 

Enjoy your week learning these remedies and remember to watch our Weekly Saturday Roundup of the remedies where Kate and I discuss our experiences of using these remedies.
