CHAMOMILLA

Restlessness and Whining

• Chamomilla children tend to be very restless, constantly whining and expressing discontent.
• They often want things and then refuse them once they have them, displaying a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

Desire for Attention

• These children feel secure only when carried or given constant attention.
• They often calm down only when they are being held or petted, as this physical closeness provides them with comfort.

Easily Angered and Intolerant

• Chamomilla children are highly sensitive to being interrupted or spoken to and can react with anger or impatience.
• They are prone to fits of anger and can become inconsolable if they feel they are not getting what they want or if their routine is disturbed.

Oversensitivity to Pain and Stimuli

• They are extremely sensitive, both physically and emotionally, and are quick to react to pain or minor discomfort.
• This oversensitivity makes them prone to outbursts over what might seem trivial to others.

Spiteful and Snappish Behavior

• This sensitivity can lead them to display spiteful or snappish behavior toward those around them.
• If they feel frustrated or unsupported, they may lash out in an attempt to express their distress.

Complaints Rooted in Anger

• Chamomilla children often react with extreme emotional responses to anger, vexation, or frustration.
• They frequently “complain” through tantrums or physical expressions of dissatisfaction when they feel their desires are unmet.

Calmness Indicates Chamomilla is Not the Right Remedy

• In homeopathic profiling, the remedy Chamomilla is usually considered inappropriate if a child is calm and content.
• Chamomilla children are rarely described as calm; they are almost always active, fussy, and demanding.

Situational Use of Chamomilla

This remedy is often suited for children during teething periods or illnesses, as these situations tend to increase irritability and sensitivity.

Chamomilla helps to ease the mental and emotional distress associated with these challenging phases, supporting the child in finding comfort and reducing the severity of their reactions to discomfort.

Chamomilla can be beneficial for babies who are notably hard to soothe and exhibit an unusually high sensitivity to pain, as well as those who are emotionally volatile.

The remedy aims to bring balance and relieve some of the emotional distress that manifests as whining, demands, and hypersensitivity.
