[Charles J. Hempel]
Cham. ist die „Katzenminze der Homöopathie“, weil
es besonders für nervöse Leiden passt, vor allem bei Kindern;
Mag-m. similar to Chamomilla
in diseases of children.
Cham. (extremely demanding, irritable and violent, seeking immediate attention) ↔ Rheum ↔ Mag-c. (behaves like an orphan demanding nothing)
Mag-c (Waisen + wenig Bedürfnis) ↔ Rheum (Eltern viel weg) ↔ Cham (nicht gefordert = verwahrlost)
Child: Cham. (tyran) ↔ Mag-c. ↔ Puls. (wimp)
Mag-p ↔ Catar ↔ Cham.

Ist Lac-h.-Kind ähnlich.
[Frans Küsse]
Setting boundaries, quickly interpreting things as threats. Dealing with
boundaries in their own way: defending themselves by challenging and
pre-emptively going into attack, in order to reassure themselves that they are
strong enough.
[Robin Murphy]
Used to talk about how he’d be walking down the corridor at the clinic,
hear the screaming in the examining room, and say, “Give that child Chamomilla.” I know it sounds
a bit like Bell., but, look at your reaction to the child. The
Belladonna child’s parent feels the need to act, to do something, give a
medicine, find a solution, fast!
The Chamomilla child’s parent just wants her
kid to shut-up! There is no sympathy,
the parent is fed up!
[Elaine Lewis]
Almost any child or baby can go into a Chamomilla
state. Teething seems to set it off, ear infections…whatever the reason the
child is in pain or discomfort, the response in
the Chamomilla state is to scream and shriek
inconsolably and unendingly! I made a
visit once to my friend Shobi’s house, her little one
had some sort of virus and she brought him to me in her arms. He was not nestled contentedly on her
shoulder as Puls. would be; rather, he was screaming,
arching his back, bending over backwards stiffly, threatening to fall on the
floor head-first–a real handful, in other words!
I said, “That’s Chamomilla!” It’s an angry crying, you feel no sympathy
for the Chamomilla child, you just wish they would
stop! We gave Chamomilla
30C and the baby calmed down right away.
When you think of Chamomilla, think of
easily-upset children, flailing about, demanding one thing and another and then
throwing it down, screaming/crying, easily frustrated, demanding attention,
demanding to be carried, and generally making the parents feel desperate!
[David Little]
Cham. wenn das Kind vollkommen ungenießbar ist und alles wonach er gerade verlangt hat, wutentbrannt wegschleudert, sobald Sie es ihm geben und er gleichzeitig unter sehr starken Schmerzen zu leiden scheint (Ohrenschmerzen oder Zahnungsbeschwerden), wissen homöopathisch vor gebildete Eltern, dass Chamomilla das homöopathische Mittel der Wahl ist. Kinder, die Chamomilla als homöopathisches Mittel brauchen, sind meist sehr willensstark und verfügen über sehr viel Energie.
Sie verlangen sich selbst einiges ab und versuchen schon früh ihre Empfindsamkeit zu verstecken. Dafür äußert sich diese Empfindlichkeit dann auf der körperlichen Ebene. Wenn sie Schmerzen haben, sind die so unerträglich, dass sie oft bis zur Erschöpfung schreien und sich nur beruhigen wenn sie getragen werden.
[Y. Agrawal]
Child awakens as if he had an awful dream
[Farokh Master]
Frenzy, angry, irritable, stiff, rigid, arching its back, yelling,
crying, screaming, cross, uncooperative, will NOT calm down, is inconsolable,
throws down everything -every toy, every stuffed animal- you give him even if
he asked for it! And why is he doing this? Because the pain is intolerable! It
could be colic, teething pain, it doesn’t matter.
You can’t examine this child, he will have to be forcibly held down in
the doctor’s office to put the otoscope in his ear!
His cheek will be red, he will be hot with hot feet. Belladonna will have cold
feet. The only thing that will stop Cham. from crying is brisk carrying! As soon
as you put him down, he will start crying again. Lucky for you, all you need is
a dose of Chamomilla 30C to end all of this.

Mind:
Babies and infants cannot bear anyone near them; older children cannot
bear to be spoken to; when forced to answer, they answer peevishly and
snappishly.
Excessive temper tantrums and other conduct disorders in children of
mothers who have abused drugs like cannabis, cocaine, morphine, green tea,
coffee or
tobacco. Irritability and peevishness come in spells, with incessant
screaming and howling; can be hushed and calmed only when carried.
Piteous moaning and whining persist for hours and days when the child’s
desires are not fulfilled by the parents.
Infants and neonates are extremely restless (Ars.);
they move from one person to another; they are never at peace; never completely
still; as the baby goes from
one person to another, he becomes extremely dissatisfied, and may strike
at them as he leaves. They want to be constantly carried and petted.
Red-hot anger when things are refused, or the child tends to vehemently reject
them when they are offered (Bry. Cina.
Kreos.).
The child cannot enjoy music at all; it will quickly turn its ear away
from the source.
Triad of Cham: Peevishness, sensitivity, and frantic irritability.
Ungoverned, uncivil, out of control, and out of hand children who hold
their breath in tantrums; can develop spasms, convulsions, colic, diarrhea, fever
with anger; occasionally the child may bang his head against the wall.
Physical:
Many physical symptoms, like bilious vomiting, chills, colic, convulsions,
fever, migraine, etc. start after the child becomes angry.
One cheek red and hot, the other
pale and cold.
Universal sensitivity to pain; pain seems unendurable, drives him to
despair; the child becomes mad during pain, and also makes others mad and
panicky
with the pain; wants instant and immediate relief; during pain, the
child becomes impatient, violent, and tosses about, shrieks in despair, and can
even upset the whole neighborhood; pain < from
heat, evening to midnight, in a warm room, local application of heat; +
fainting; the painful part ultimately turns numb.
Children are highly prone to ear-/head-/toothaches, from which they want
instant relief.
Discharges are hot: Hot coryza, hot
perspiration, and hot stools.
Extremely useful in infants whose mother was given morphine during labor.
Infants are sensitive, irritable, thirsty, hot, and numb.
