Nux vomica for Too Much

excerpt from Natural Baby and Childcare by Lauren Feder, M.D.

Nux vomica is the best remedy for "too much"-food, birthday cake, alcohol or stimulation. But its powers extend beyond relieving indigestion after a Thanksgiving meal-it can also be used for the common cold, constipation and the kind of insomnia brought on by doing-you guessed it-too much.

Nux vomica is useful for:

Mental/Emotions

Hardworking personality (Type A kid)
Competitive in sports, high achiever in school
Irritability, impatience and anger
Easily frustrated

Body:

Overeating (especially spicy or rich foods)
Fullness, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, vomiting, bloating, gas
Constipation, straining with incomplete sensation\
Infant colic with arching of the back
Jet lag (with stomach upset)
Insomnia (from doing too much)
Stuffed nose with watery discharge and sneezing, plugged at night, runny during the day
Extremely chilly
Sensitive to stimuli (noise and light)
Difficult sleeping, waking at 3 or 4 a.m.

Symptoms feel better: rest, evening
Symptoms feel worse: cold dry weather, wind, early morning, outdoors
