Too much!
If there was ever a holiday that was just too much, it’s Halloween! Too much excitement and anticipation. Too much scariness and visual stimulation. And, of course, too much candy!
Nux vomica is the homeopathic remedy to think of when there has been an overindulgence of any kind, but Halloween is like a tailor made holiday for Nux vomica.
Nux vomica is well indicated in fullness with gas (from either end). When your tummy is full and feels like a stone is sitting in there. Indigestion, nausea and even vomiting can be signs pointing toward Nux vomica. Add in some irritability and you can be pretty certain you're on the right track!
Many years ago following a Halloween night indulgence, one of my kids got into bed and wanted the rest of us to be quiet. He had a tummy ache and was not feeling well. He wanted quiet and he wanted no lights. I remember saying he looked and sounded like he had “tied one on.” (And, yes, it’s good for that, too!) It was literally like he was hungover. Were this situation to rear itself again today, I would give a dose of Nux vomica 200c. I suspect he would have fallen into a peaceful sleep and would have awakened feeling much better about life.
Homeopathic Nux vomica for “TOO MUCH”… collapse and fatigue states from over work… burning the candle at both ends… too much stimulation (lights, noise, odors, etc)… too much anger and frustration… too much coffee or chocolate… too much no sleep, (like after a sleep over)… too many thoughts disturbing sleep… too much and too frequent sneezing… too much coughing, (often leading to a headache)… I think you get the picture.
If your little one (or you!) experienced too much Halloween, try homeopathic Nux vomica and see if a little relief can come your way.
In good health and moderation,
