Too much sun? Not your best plan, was it? Shade during the hottest hours, hats, shirts and plenty to drink are good preventatives. But let's atart where we are now. Belladonna is a useful remedy if you are like this.
It is also useful for states that arise from other causes as you can see.
BELLADONNA - Deadly Nightshade
Heat, Dryness, Redness.
Congestion to Head and Brain.
Sudden violent onset, eg. goes to bed well, wakes a few hours later thoroughly ill.
Chilliness followed by heat.
Cold-sensitive esp. to head, so wants to exclude draughts. May well see people with very light covering (a sheet), but nevertheless reluctant to be completely uncovered. To touch they will be burning hot.
Restless, red, hot and dry. May have profuse steaming sweat on covered parts, which dries quickly.
Quarrelsome and contrary.
Delirium. Sees things on closing eyes, is likely to see monsters in the wallpaper and want to escape.
BRIGHT EYED, PUPILS ENLARGED. Photophobia (can't stand the light). Eyes may be bloodshot.
Throbbing pains, bounding pulse. Pains may come in spasms: colics.
Throat very sore and dry, and red.
May be thirsty, but if the problem is in the throat, be unable/unwilling to drink, because of pain.
Oversensitive to all stimuli.
Worse from:
Light/shiny objects, noise, being touched/jarred, motion, draughts, chill to head (going out with wet hair, having hair cut!), lying down.
Better for:
Standing up, sitting erect, rest, warm room, dim light.
Consider for:
Colds/flu, sore throats. Boils, sunburns, red rashes (when symptoms agree). Fevers esp. scarlet fever/scarletina. Headache (sunstroke). Earache, toothache. Teething problems. Stiff neck, neuralgia, sciatica. Erysipelas, shingles.
Any 'itis may well need Belladonna. (Take it alongside antibiotics if you like, no harm will be done).
