Belladonna-The Drama Queen

I do love the remedy Belladonna the Drama Queen. I kind of imagine her to be a true Southern belle. She likes drama, the color red, and has a very high temperature. I don’t have a favorite remedy. It’s like with my children, my favorite is whoever is doing their chores without being asked. Belladonna gets the job done.

I will often mentally assign personalities to inanimate objects to help me remember details. So, even though I call Belladonna “she,” there are no assigned pronouns. That’s just me, trying to remember everything. And while I call it “The Drama Queen” I mean the remedy, not the person needing the remedy.

What is it and what does it do?

Belladonna is made from the deadly nightshade plant. Sound terrifying? Remember, with homeopathy, the crude form is diluted exponentially until it is a microdose and safe for use.

Homeopaths call it a polycrest because it has so many uses. It is well known for its usefulness in acute disorders and fevers. I love its effectiveness in handling internal pain. Markedly, migraines, gall bladder attacks, appendicitis attacks, and ovarian cysts respond well to Belladonna, the Drama Queen.

The Drama Queen

Like a true southern belle, Belladonna sweeps in suddenly and violently. With fevers, the child can go from fine to high temperature and have a bright red face with glassy eyes in no time flat. Ear aches go from fine one minute to bright red ears and a fever so hot you can feel it without even touching the skin.

It’s all in the details

One keynote* that I often forget about is the general aggravation around the menstrual period and its usefulness for aggravations due to hormonal insults or imbalances. Again, using the southern belle illustration, this description makes you think of a certain book/movie character who uses curtains for a new dress and has a terrible temper.

In 2020 I got sick. Not sure what I had as I’m not really good at taking tests. But I had a high fever, severe headache, and body aches that made me cry, and lost my sense of smell and taste. One of my sons, who was 12 at the time, would stand next to me with one of my homeopathy books asking me questions about my symptoms. Then he would make me up a water dose of whatever he felt I needed. At one point he was trying to decide between two remedies. I told him to hit the side of the bed. Despite thinking I was nuts, he did as I asked. I about came off the bed! The jarring made my head and body hurt so much worse! I mumbled something about it must be Belladonna. And he rushed to get the bottle. Belladonna is aggravated by being jarred.

Belladonna is a mainstay in every homeopathic cabinet. Consequently, you should have it in many different potencies. There is a government agency that is on a witch hunt for homeopathic remedies and Belladonna is at the top of their hit list. So, stock up on our Southern Belle before she’s gone with the wind.
