CHAMOMILLA VULGARIS - HOMEOPATIA

There is in Chamomilla a little thread of symptoms, which may nearly always be found running through it,-viz. a spiteful, sudden, or uncivil irritability. In labor cases, though it may not be brought out by questions, we will often find the patient in an irritable mood, feels as if she "can't be civil", "can't give a civil answer," is very snappish and short spoken, etc.
Sufferings from fits of anger--may have a severe headache in consequence, or convulsions, etc. Calmness contra-indicates Cham.
