Bonus Material

A Case of the Flu

Little Suzy was playing out in the snow yesterday afternoon, and then suddenly today she spiked a fever of 102. Though she is staying safely hydrated and your pediatrician said that we should watch and wait, you want to do more for Suzy. You notice her face is bright red, her head is hot, and cheeks flushed. She is restless and is complaining that she feels her “heartbeat” in her head. She is extremely sensitive to noise, light, and odors. You notice that even though she is hot, she is not sweaty at all. You give her 2 pellets of homeopathic _________________ 30C and she starts to feel better within 15 minutes.

Symptoms of ___________________ include:

Throbbing headaches
Red discoloration of the face.
Sudden onset
Ailments from cold exposure
Sensitivity to noise, light, and odors
Extremely hot but bone dry, no sweating
Often worse at and after 3 pm
Desires lemons and lemonade

A Case of Teething

Matty is teething and you want to try something other than pain killers to soothe him. With teething, he is very irritable and weepy. You notice that one side of his face is red while the other is pale. He screams for his sippy cup but when offered to him, he throws it and screams more. You try to pick him up to console him but he arches his back and cries more violently. The only thing that helps is if you bounce him vigorously. You remember this class today and give him homeopathic _____________30C and he feels better within 15 minutes. The improvement lasts about an hour at a time so you give him two little pellets each hour until the symptoms disappear.

Symptoms of ______________________ include:

Very common teething remedy
Capriciousness
Arching of the back
Green slimy stool
The person is often hot and thirsty
Restlessness
One cheek pale and the other cheek red

A Case of The Common Cold

Mandy has a nasty cold and you kept her home from school today. She has all of the typical cold symptoms: Sore throat, congestion, low grade fever, and fatigue. She is constantly blowing her nose and thick yellow mucus fills the tissue. In the morning she has yellow sleep on her eyelashes and her eyes are red and irritated. She is also more clingy and weepy and cries whenever she is left alone. She spends most of the day on the couch with the windows open allowing fresh air to enter the room. She feels much worse in a hot stuffy room. When she takes naps you notice that she sleeps with her arms over her head. You give Mandy 2 pellets of homeopathic _______________ 30C every 30 minutes, and within 3 hours she is feeling 30% better.

Symptoms of _______________________ include:

Worse in hot stuffy room
Better in open air
Can be chilly or warm
Thick yellow or green mucus discharge

Sleeping with arms over head
