Homeopathy for Holiday Flu & Fatigue
If you told me I’d be spending Christmas season in Germany… pushing a double stroller through cobblestone streets… while eight children fight over who gets the ceramic Glühwein mug…
I would’ve said, “Bless your heart, that sounds exhausting.”
Turns out, it is.
The holidays here are magical.
Also loud.
Also busy.
Also full of emotional plot twists for both adults and children.
And eventually the body just… clocks out.
From doing too much with too little margin and pretending it’s fine because the Christmas markets are so pretty.
Here’s when to reach for what, before you collapse into a pile of pine needles and wrapping paper.
THE HOLIDAY CRASH
Aconite 30/200
For when everything was fine until one of the kids licked a Christmas market pretzel rack
and your body said, “Nope. I’m done for today.”
Sudden shock → sudden symptoms.
Belladonna 30/200
Feels like your head is pulsing to the beat of German techno Christmas music.
Red face. Heat. Irritability.
Happens after too many crowds, too much noise, or someone asking,
“Can we get ANOTHER mug?!”
Gelsemium 30
Your energy left your body and is now living somewhere near Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Heavy. Dragging.
The “I need to lie down but we’re 40 minutes from parking” feeling.
Eupatorium Perfoliatum 30
Aches after carrying 17 jackets, 12 scarves, 3 crying children, and one 80-lb backpack of snacks.
Bones feel offended- so achy.
THE HOLIDAY OVERDOING
Nux Vomica 30/200
Too many events.
Too many lists.
Too many “Just one more Christmas market, Mama!”
Perfect for the person who overdid… everything.
Phosphoric Acid 30
Emotional exhaustion from hosting, traveling, missing home, or trying to translate German pharmacy signs.
Soul-tired.
Tired after recovering from an illness
China Officinalis 30
Depleted.
Empty.
Running on fumes and Aldi chocolate.
Loss of fluids (diarrhea/throwing up counts)
Arsenicum Album 30
Anxiety + perfectionism + fatigue.
For when you want the Christmas season to be magical, but your brain is staging a rebellion.
Maybe diarrhea, vomit, the works
THE HOLIDAY HEART
Ignatia 30
Missing home.
Missing family.
Missing American coffee sizes.
When holiday feelings hit harder than German WiFi.
Staphysagria 30
When you’ve been “sweet tea polite” through 37 inconveniences and suddenly snap because someone moved your Advent candles.
Pulsatilla 30
Tender hearts.
Sensitive babies (and adults).
Homesick littles.
Tears for no reason except… December.
THE ROOTED REMINDERS (Aka: What I Tell Myself Daily)
You can’t do all the things.
• You don’t need to.
• Homeopathy helps when emotions spill into the body.
• Your nervous system has feelings, too.
• Drink some water.
• Go to bed before midnight (just once).
• The Christmas markets will still be there tomorrow.
Your body isn’t breaking down.
It’s tapping you on the shoulder, saying,
“Hey darlin’… slow down before I make you.”
Support it.
Listen to it.
You are not behind.
You’re human.
And with a little support, you can stay rooted all season long.
