Remedy of the week - Nux Vomica

Remedy Of The Week - Nux Vomica

I was reminded of a valuable remedy for acute situations after recently enjoying a hearty three course meal and wine.  I have not ‘indulged’ quite so much recently and the heavy bloated sensation that I still had a few hours after eating left me wondering if it was all worthwhile.  Then I remembered Nux Vomica an ideal remedy to take for indigestion after too much food or alcohol.  

Or are you one of those people who enjoys a drink but wakes the following day with a bad hangover?  If you have a headache, nausea, feel irritable and need a coffee to get you going then a dose of Nux Vomica 30c will help you recover more quickly.

It is a remedy that will help ease constipation too.  Your stomach typically feels distended and cramping.  The feeling is that you are unable to completely empty your bowels with frequent and ineffective urging.  Again the sensation is likely to leave you quite irritable and impatient.  Taking one dose (6c or 30c) of the remedy morning and night until improvement can help you get back to a regular bowel habit.  Of course a healthy diet and drinking plenty of the right fluids will make all the difference.  Yet we all can enjoy those ‘over indulgences’ from time to time.  In those situations Nux Vomica is handy remedy to have available.  Though do remember if symptoms persist without ease, then do contact your local Homeopath or GP.
