Homeopathy LibraryChamomilla
Reason for use
There is in Chamomilla a little thread of symptoms, which may nearly always be found running through it,--viz. a spiteful, sudden, or uncivil irritability . In labor cases, though it may not be brought out by questions, we will often find the patient in an irritable mood, feels as if she "can't be civil," "can't give a civil answer," is very snappish and short spoken, etc.
Sufferings from fits of anger--may have a severe headache in consequence, or convulsions, etc. Calmness contra-indicates Cham .
Mental.-- Irritability ( snappish, very cross ); absent-mindedness. Children cry until they are walked about. Patient thinks the pain is "too severe to be borne," (severity of the pain makes her cross). Desire to lie down; to be in motion. Affections of nursing children from the emotions of their nurses--the mother or the wet nurse.
