Chamomilla (chamomile)
Matricaria chamomilla
The remedy for the sensitive child who becomes irritable and impossible to please when everything feels too much. Irritability arises from heightened sensitivity — to noise, pain, frustration, and being overstimulated. The child may demand things then refuse them, and is only soothed by gentle motion, rocking, or being carried.
