Chamomilla Vulgaris is made from the strains of wild chamomile, a European aromatic plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. All parts of the plant are used for the elaboration of the remedy. The resulting mother tincture is subjected to numerous dilutions so that it is no longer toxic and is then dynamized so that the resulting drug is effective. Mainly recommended in case of pediatric disorders such as teething, Chamomilla Vulgaris also helps to treat behavioral disorders and relieve certain pains.
Indications in paediatrics
Chamomilla Vulgaris is mainly recommended in the event of the appearance of the first teeth. Indeed, this homeopathic medicine is effective in relieving the gum and dental pain felt by the baby but also in treating the fever that accompanies it. In addition, as a sedative, this remedy reduces irritability in infants and young children. Finally, the remedy can be used in children in case of otitis, gastroenteritis and bronchitis associated with teething. Chamomilla vulgaris is ideal for subjects whose cough is worse at night, whose dental pain is aggravated by cold and whose sensitivity to pain is particularly increased.
