Homeopathy for Halloween hangovers
Halloween, a night that parents look forward to and dread at the same time. Each year our kids delight in dressing up as different characters and exploring a new aspect of themselves.
Some love the thrill and excitement of dressing spooky and getting spooked and some want to avoid it all together.
Then, there’s the sudden influx of candy and sweets and family agreements (or disagreements) about how to handle the hoards of sugar.
In my experience as a parent, every Halloween brings new insights about each child and some challenges that need to be overcome before the Halloween hangovers become habits that will carry into the holidays and new year.
But, have no fear, Homeopathy can help with Halloween hangovers! Here are just a few examples:
Stramonium: fear of the fright remaining. Your Harry Potter kiddo finally got up the nerve to go to a haunted house with friends and everything was fun and games until a creepy clown jumped out and chased them. Now your kid is afraid of the dark and crying out in their sleep with nightmares. It’s even hard to wake them. Stramonium can help resolve the fear and help them rest peacefully again.
Nux vomica: new sugar addiction. Your little Blippi or Princess Elsa is gaining independence and collected a full bag of candy on their own! They even ate some while walking around the neighborhood and after they got home. Now that their eyes have been opened to all of their candy options and they indulged more than they’re usually allowed, they want more. They’re asking for candy multiple times a day for days after Halloween. Nux vomica can help kick the sugar craving and the bad temperedness that may come with it.
Antimonium crudum: candy tummy ache. Your little skeleton overloaded their bony structure with candy and sweets. Now their tummy is bloated and hurts. Their digestion seems off too and you’re worried they might puke. Antimonium crudum can help relieve the indigestion and tummy discomfort. It even works for parents who raided the candy bag too! 😉
