Ignatia Amara — the acute-grief remedy — sighing, a lump in the throat, rapidly changing mood, tears held back; effects of bad news, disappointment or suppressed emotion; contradictory symptoms.

Traditionally reached for

• the raw first days after a shock, loss or disappointment
• a tension headache 'like a nail' driven in, with emotional strain
