Chamomilla

Classical single remedy

unbearable pain with furious irritability; one cheek red one pale; the child demands things then throws them, quiet only when carried. (Boericke)

What it’s reached for

  • teething or colic in a furious, inconsolable child.
  • toothache or earache that feels out of all proportion and worse for heat.
