PULSATILLA: The gentle remedy for shifting moods & symptoms
Soft, sensitive, and ever-changing — Pulsatilla is one of homeopathy’s most versatile remedies, especially suited to those whose emotional and physical states are in flux.
Who might benefit from Pulsatilla?
- People who feel tearful, clingy, or emotionally tender — especially children or during hormonal changes
- Those whose symptoms shift frequently: one minute it’s a headache, the next it’s a tummy ache
- Individuals who feel worse in warm rooms but perk up with fresh air
- Digestive troubles after rich, creamy foods
- Colds with thick yellow mucus and a desire for comfort
Pulsatilla is often called the “weathercock remedy” — it suits those whose symptoms and moods change like the wind. It’s gentle, safe, and ideal for times of transition: puberty, menopause, emotional upheaval, or seasonal shifts.
The remedy is made from the windflower (Pulsatilla nigricans), a delicate plant that sways with the breeze — just like the personalities it often helps.
