Difference Between Homeopathic remedy Cina & Chamomila Child

Understanding the Difference Between Homeopathic Remedies Cina and Chamomilla for Children

When it comes to homeopathic remedies for children, understanding the subtle differences between similar remedies is crucial for effective treatment. Two commonly compared remedies are Cina and Chamomilla, both of which are often prescribed for children who exhibit irritability, temper tantrums, and a need for attention. However, the underlying emotional and behavioral patterns of these remedies differ significantly. Let’s explore the key differences between Cina and Chamomilla, based on insights from Dr. Jitesh Sharma, a homeopath who has studied under renowned homeopaths Dr. George Vithoulkas and Dr. Rajan Sankaran.

The Core Emotional State: A Need for Attention

Both Cina and Chamomilla children share a common emotional theme: they feel neglected or deprived of attention from their parents. However, their reactions to this feeling are strikingly different.

• Chamomilla Child:
  The Chamomilla child reacts to the lack of attention with loud, shrieking demands. They are often inconsolable unless they are carried or given immediate attention. Their behavior is marked by anger, violence, and continuous crying. They may throw things, but their actions are directed at the person they feel is neglecting them. Interestingly, Chamomilla children are soothed by caresses and being carried, which temporarily alleviates their distress.
• Cina Child:
  The Cina child, on the other hand, reacts to the lack of attention with irritability and temper tantrums. They may push their parents away, refuse to be touched, and exhibit aversion to caresses. This behavior is almost a rejection of the attention they crave, as if saying, “Where were you when I needed you?” Cina children are capricious—they demand many things but don’t know what they truly want. Their behavior can be described as pest-like, with constant complaining and demands that make others want to avoid them.

Behavioral Patterns and Physical Symptoms

The behavioral and physical symptoms of these remedies further highlight their differences.

• Chamomilla Child:
• Continuous crying with intense anger and shrieking.
• Kicking and screaming when touched or approached.
• Desire to be carried and soothed by rocking or caresses.
• Throws things at people as an expression of their frustration.
• Cina Child:
• Intermittent crying with gradual increases in intensity.
• Aversion to touch and caresses, often pushing parents away.
• Refuses haircuts, as they dislike being touched or handled.
• Lies on the abdomen or assumes a knee-elbow position during sleep, which seems to ameliorate their discomfort.
• Throws things away indiscriminately, not necessarily directed at anyone.

Connection to Physical Ailments

Dr. Jitesh Sharma notes an interesting observation about the Cina child: there may be a connection between their pest-like behavior and a tendency toward worm infestations. The constant irritation caused by worms can lead to behaviors like boring fingers into orifices (e.g., nose or ears) and general uneasiness. This physical discomfort further exacerbates their irritability and capriciousness.

Key Differentiating Symptoms

Here’s a quick summary of the key symptoms that differentiate Cina and Chamomilla:

Conclusion

While both Cina and Chamomilla are remedies for children who feel neglected, their expressions of this feeling are distinct. The Chamomilla child is loud, demanding, and soothed by touch, while the Cina child is irritable, capricious, and averse to touch. Understanding these differences is essential for selecting the right remedy and providing effective homeopathic care.

Dr. Jitesh Sharma, with his extensive training under Dr. George Vithoulkas and Dr. Rajan Sankaran, emphasizes the importance of observing these subtle nuances in behavior and physical symptoms. If you’re considering homeopathic treatment for your child, consulting an experienced homeopath like Dr. Sharma can help ensure the right remedy is chosen.
