Homeopathic Acute Prescribing V
Flu as an Example
BRYONIA
The main issue in Bryonia is that their symptoms are “worse from motion and better from pressure.” This dynamic can refer to any of their symptoms, some examples being:
Overall, the homeopathic patient feels better lying perfectly still.
A headache feels best when lying still, with hands pressed to forehead or temples.
Coughing is painful (because it involves motion); when coughing, the homeopathic patients hold their hands tight on their chest or else bends over, putting pressure on their chest and limiting the motion.
A stomach ache makes them want to curl up in a ball, putting pressure on their stomach and keeping them still.
