Nux Vomica — Mother Tincture (Ø) (SBL)

Nux Vomica — over-stimulated, driven and irritable from too much work, food, coffee or alcohol; chilly, over-sensitive to noise, light and smell; wakes at 3–4 am with the mind on work; constant ineffectual urging (bowel and bladder).

Traditionally reached for

• indigestion, heartburn and constipation from rich food, alcohol or stress
• a blocked-at-night streaming-by-day cold in a chilly, irritable person
• the morning-after feeling, and sleeplessness from an over-worked mind
