When my daughter was a small child she was treated successfully with homeopathy for ears/throat complains. During the last 6 years i didn't need to give her any contitutional remedy (i had to use only first-aid remedies like arnica, calendula, apis).
She almost always showed Pulsatilla character (but she had other remedies like calc.phosp., thuya and silicea: all of them worked fine).
Lately, after we lost a pet, she seems to don't be able to work out her mourning. She cryes often and for any kind of disappointment; she declares to feel very alone: i try to be closer as i can, but it doesn't help. She's getting resentful with her friends, sister and parents.
She is a nice, fair haired girl, usually with very easy and friendly behavior.
She doesn't like meat or fish and prefers vegetables (it's her choise).
She never wanted cow milk, but only yoghurt.She doesn't drink much.
She's a sensitive child and takes care of people and other children (in special if they are smaller); has been a classic dancer for 7 years and loves to go on with it.
Now she is distressed and changes her moods very quickly (and her dad becomes upset for it): i was waiting for an improvement, but she seems to be worse.
Should i intervene with a remedy? Or i have just to wait a bit more? (tomorrow will be a week she lost her pet). Would pulsatilla help her?
Thanks

This is more a lycopodium, or natrium mur behaviour, Try lycopodium first, c200 one dose.

If Pulsatilla has shown to suit her before I would go for this first as she is displaying the Pulsatilla changeability with her moods as well as the thirstlessness, let alone the crying although that would be expected in a grief and is healthy.

I gave her Lyc. 200ch yesterday evening: in this moment the picture shows Lyc. more than Puls. (she isn't better for consolation, and usually she is).
During the night she woke up with a stomach-ache, but was happy to have a hot bottle of water near her: so she quietly fell asleep.
This morning she woke up with no complain and she greeted me with a smile (the first in the week), so i hope she will feel better.
Thank you for the help

The hot waterbottle is a BIG colocynthis symptome, read up coloc, it will follow lyc, if not corrrect remedie, insted of lyc.

During this days I have been watching at the window: my daughter seems much better, now she cryes much less, and she is having dreams about the dog (and usually she dreams he is healhy). She isn't anymore resentful and she is able to talk a lot about this and many other things (and i need an antidote to Lyc., for stopping her..).
So i didn't give her colocyntis.
My impression is she is having a fast hormonal change (during this year), too.
My intention is to let Lyc. working for 40-50 days, but after these maybe i should reconsider Pulsatilla?
Many thanks for all the help

To GM: I don't want to interfere in the discussion BB, so i write here.

Is Anacardium (a heart shaped nut!) worthy for the tale, too?

No, dont think so, Anacard is svearing,and the most evil of all,he is not possesed of it, he simply is, a dangeorus character,deadly,threacherous, near the the characther of Caesare Borghia (lachesis), but remember, this is the extremes, not the ordinarys.So your on a wild goose track....
Can you tell lenin, and Hitlers remedys?
Remember this:A Homeopath is not a judge, hes a observer, correcter of whats wrong,whats against life.Himself included...

I thought about Anac. becouse - for the picture i have - he is shared between God and devil, and this nut can give courage.
The picture shows a very religious man that feels a devil in his back, but it isn't happy about.
I don't feel that a remedy can have only a "dark" side.
Lachesis can be very depressed, but usually the picture shows liveliness and a sharp perception...it can arrives to visions, ecstasy.
Don't you think there is a double side in the remedies?
But, you know, i'm a bit working with fantasy, and i'm not going to fix or cure anything or anybody with these arguments (and without). It's just a side i'm courious about. Do we know everything on the world?
You know well your work, i'm not the kind of person that can do this work...but it's just a pleasure to understand.
I loved the tale and the archaic language: that's all.

Yes, they are double, and that can fit anacardium, but also others like silicea, sulph that is not double.
Archaic its not, its pshycopatic/schitzofrenic,manipulative, seductive, and it have a contagious effect, it can drive even a experienced with this over the edge,to suicide, and its dangeourus to help sutch a person, this is only for pros, who know the risk, and can take it.
Ordinary people or newbeginners may get seriously ill because of them, avoid it when seeing the danger sign.
If you feel sick of a writing or conversation, thats the sign, this you also find in hypnosis,(mesmerism) and is a teqnique from that, a primitive, very dangeorus one.
Ever heard of sublingual influence? Well that can be done in writing too.
