Lots of Chicken pox this week.
Below are some of my favourite remedies that will help to ease the symptoms.
Rhus tox ; when the spots are intensely itchy, especially at night or from warmth of the bed. Child may be restless and keep moving for relief.
Sulphur; when itching is worse with heat, scratching gives only short relief, and the skin looks red and irritated.
Belladonna ; if the illness starts suddenly with high fever, flushed face, throbbing head and great sensitivity to light and noise.
Pulsatilla; for children who are clingy, weepy, and need lots of comfort; often have symptoms that change quickly (fever one minute, chilly the next).
