As a parent to 4 daughters/step-daughters, I have prescribed pulsatilla more times at home than I can remember. It’s a must-have remedy for little ones - kids who are forever snotty, might be often tearful and who like to stay as close as they can to their parent.
The pulsatilla baby will make her mother feel as if she has given birth to a koala as this baby will not want to be separated from her mother’s arms. Pulsatilla people, right into adulthood, are needy!
The Pulsatilla baby may well have mucus issues such as gunky eyes and the snuffles.
Older Pulsatilla children will present with mucus-related issues again, with wet coughs, eye and ear discharges and the anxiety regarding separation will persist. Digestive issues will also be a problem with strong reactions to rich, fatty food.
The trademark of the Pulsatilla person is their affection and desire to be connected to their parent but on the other hand a tearfulness, neediness and a strong tendency to self-pity!
Teen Pulsatillas have these traits and may well have hormonal problems that exacerbate everything.
Adult pulsatillas are likely again to have hormonal issues or the mucus-related issues, and might become more Pulsatilla-like emotionally if they have been bereaved or come out of a nasty break-up and feel abandoned.
If this remedy portrait sounds familiar, Pulsatilla may well be your constitutional remedy, one which will give your health and wellbeing a boost.
