Clinical Description

Chamomilla is a major antipsoric polychrest proved by Samuel Hahnemann. Recognized for its profound action on the nervous system, pediatric irritability, and pain tolerance. Key features include anger out of proportion to cause, children quiet only when carried, one cheek red and hot while the other is pale and cold, and green spinach-like diarrheal stools during teething.

  • Diarrhea during dentition with green, watery, rotten-egg smelling stools ('chopped spinach')
  • Overt sensitivity to cold air, wind, coffee, and narcotics
  • Thirst for cold water during feverish states with hot head and cold body
