The Eagle has Landed!

BONUS!
A few other reasons to keep Nux vomica handy when you have children …

* Infants with a stopped up nose, preventing nursing.

* Infants with hiccups (good for children with hiccups in general, but infants in particular).

* Stomach pain in children.

* Irritability in children (especially when there has been an overindulgence of any kind — good or bad. Too much candy or not enough sleep, for example.)

* Children suffering from jealousy.

Does this mean that Nux vomica is the only way to help my child with constipation or hiccups or stomach pain, irritability or jealousy? Nope. But there is a good chance this strongly associated gastro-intestinal remedy may help them.
​
​The Eagle has Landed: “Someone or something has arrived; something been done. The phrase was famously said by US astronaut Neil Armstrong when the Eagle Lunar Lander landed on the moon in 1969” (thefreedictionary.com).

Constipation is a trying condition. Constipation in little people is a frustrating, trying and heartbreaking condition. It’s a helpless feeling when you know what needs to happen for the child to feel better, but you have no way of actually fixing the situation. There is no magic bandaid to put on an uncomfortable little person when it comes to constipation. Waiting for that eagle or eaglet to finally land is tough.

I was ignorant to the beauties of homeopathy when my kids were little (dang!). I sure wish I had known about homeopathy in general, and Nux vomica, in particular.

Some homeopaths, through their clinical experience, have found certain potencies of certain remedies act differently than the other potencies of the same remedies. For instance, The Banerjis, of the renown Banerji Protocols with their nearly unprecedented clinical experience* have found that for constipation, Nux vomica 30c, twice daily is the ticket, especially if the sufferer is an infant or child. (The twice daily dosing is if it’s a chronic problem. If it’s an unusual but uncomfortable acute condition, relief most likely will occur very quickly.)

Nux vomica is not the Banerji’s first line protocol for constipation, but it is the simplest (Banerji and Banerji 2013). That fact, coupled with a quick look through Robin Murphy’s Repertory** using homeopathy software (Radar Opus, for those wondering), searching just for “child” and “Nux vomica,” shows us a few unique/small rubrics,*** demonstrating what a good fit Nux vomica is for constipated children.

Skipping the repertory language (often written in the old, original wording which can sometimes be confusing to the modern reader) and moving right into plain English, Nux vomica is highly indicated in:

— Constipation for infants and newborns (8 remedies listed)
— Constipation alternating with diarrhea in children (16 remedies listed)
— Colic in infants (16 remedies listed)
— Constipation in children (34 remedies listed)
— Constipation in infants (17 remedies listed)

These five rubrics are a pretty clear indication that Nux vomica may help infants and children with constipation. 

As usual, homeopathy is a well-rounded medicine and Nux vomica can likely help not only an infant or child, but adults and animals, too, should the symptoms be a good fit.

If you have a child suffering from constipation, acutely or chronically, book a free introductory chat to see if homeopathy may be helpful.

​
* The doctors at The Banerji Clinic in Kolkata, India see 1,000 patients a day, every day. 10 physicians/homeopaths see 100 patients every day! They record all of this information and distill all these case details to be able to share this valuable information with the rest of us.

** Repertory: the book of homeopathic symptoms, listing homeopathic remedies associated with each symptom. "The definition of word repertory [sic] originates from the Latin word 'repertoire,' which means any store or stock, (e.g. of information), that can be drawn upon. … In modern terms, the repertory represents the clinical and research database for the practice of homeopathic medicine. The general information contained in these books are derived from history, provings, clinical practice, research, physiology and toxicology" (Murphy 2003, p. VI).

*** Rubric: the symptom entry listed in the homeopathic repertory.

Look for upcoming articles about the details behind the Repertory and the Rubrics and Provings.

    I am passionate about homeopathy and I love sharing this passion. Having a working knowledge of homeopathy shouldn't be kept a secret. If people have the ability to help themselves, their children and their friends when they have minor ailments, life just gets better for everyone. That is the purpose behind Ruminating on Remedies.
