A Mama’s Homeopathy Diary 💧👂
Hey beautiful mamas 💛
We’ve just come out the other side of a really intense earache with my little one and I wanted to share the journey, because I know so many of you love using homeopathy but sometimes feel unsure where to start when our kids are hurting.
Earaches can come on fast and feel super distressing, Especially when they hit after a day out swimming, or right when everyone's winding down in the late afternoon (why always then?! 😅).
Here’s a little cheat sheet of the remedies we explored — and the subtle (or not-so-subtle) clues that helped us choose:
🌬 Aconite – The "just started" remedy
Sudden, intense pain (often after wind or getting cold)
Shocky, restless, wide-eyed — may wake crying
Best used within the first 24 hours
Gave us our first bit of relief before things changed again
🔥 Hepar Sulph – The "don’t you dare touch me" remedy
Stabbing or splinter-like pain, worse from cold air or removing the heat pack
Needs warmth, cuddles, quiet — super sensitive to everything
Pain may get worse after swimming or exposure to cold
This was our match once the pain became unbearable without the heat
🐝 Apis – The hot, stinging, swollen one
Burning, stinging pain, red cheeks or ears
Worse in heat, better with cold compresses
Often comes on in the late afternoon
May be whiny, irritable, hard to soothe
😤 Chamomilla – The scream-cry-rage remedy
Can’t tolerate the pain, cries angrily, nothing helps
May demand things then reject them
Often one cheek red, one pale
Worse at night
If your little one is fiery, furious, and you feel helpless — think Chamomilla
-Tiana threw a water bottle at my head because she couldn't open it, I ended up just putting some in her water to sip away
🌸 Pulsatilla – The gentle clingy one
Needs cuddles, feels better outdoors or near fresh air
Thick yellow/green mucus
Pain often starts mild but worsens slowly
Often no thirst
A common follow-up remedy when mucus lingers after a cold
🤸♀️Kali Mur – The blocked-ear helper
Muffled hearing, like fluid is trapped behind the eardrum
No major pain but lots of pressure or crackling sounds
Great in recovery or when congestion just won’t clear
💬 Let’s chat:
Have you used any of these?
