Belladonna - for sudden, intense symptoms w/throbbing & heat

A great remedy for burns, skin conditions, and those times where you think you might have gotten too much sun and you now have a headache, exhaustion and dehydration!

This is one of the top remedies I recommend beginners add to their homeopathic first aid kit.

In fact, I just used mine YESTERDAY when I was working Bike Patrol out at the bike park and was in the sun ALL DAY. My body hasn't yet adapted to the summer season and it took it out of me. By the end of the day I was feeling really lethargic, had a headache and sun burn and just felt like no matter how much water, electrolytes or fruit I consumed would touch the dehydration. I started dosing belladonna - 2 drops in my 20oz of water, sips every 10-15 minutes and was finally able to get to a functionable state until I went to bed and could truly rest!

Other use cases for Belladonna:

fever with hot skin (can be a great adjunct remedy to the flu blend when fever is present)
hot, dry skin
headaches with throbbing and heat
any throbbing pains with redness &/or swelling
sinus aches & pains with pressure
burns (sun burns or other types of burns) that just pulsate and throb and possibly blister

Key notes:

symptoms are often aggravated by touch, noise or jarring movement
better with cold application
emotionally, there may be acute bouts of irritability or anger

Can you think of a time where belladonna could have been helpful for you to have on hand? Or if you've used belladonna successfully, what was it for?! 🌞🔥
