Nux vomica

The headline of this remedy is: Hangovers! Either you actually have a hangover or you feel 'as if you do'.

This patient is irritated and angry, and it may be a person living a life with a lot of daily stress, and one begins to behave accordingly. The remedy is also good if you have had too much food, too much fatty food, or too much alcohol. The remedy is good for people who have ‘too much for their own good’ and both work and party too much. It is for people who fill their lives with stimuli (coffee to get up / wine to fall asleep, etc.).

Emotionally, they are tense, stressed, irritable and hypersensitive / delicate. Very sensitive to sounds, light and to drafts. They are impatient.

There are often problems with digestion, and it can be difficult to go the toilet, and only a little comes out every time leaving them with an unfinished feeling. Pushing so much that it leads to hemorrhoids. There is trapped air in the stomach, so they both fart and feel bloated.

Sleep problems occur around 4am where one wakes up and finds it hard to fall asleep again due to busy thoughts. Used for nausea during pregnancy that is reminiscent of hangovers, and for all nausea reminiscent of hangovers.

When nux vomica is used for colds, it is characterized by mucus flowing freely when indoors, but the nose is blocked when outside. When used for fever, the patient is aggravated by the slightest draft.

In short: All symptoms reminiscent of a hangover, or symptoms that occur after 'you have had too much of something'.

Other helpful hints: Good for competitive people.
