Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.
A case of vomiting - Ipecac

Vomiting :: A case of vomiting - Ipecac
Sometime back my daughter started vomiting. My wife told that she has taken various thing including 3 bananas. I considered it to be a case of food poisoning and gave Ars Alb. But there was no relief. After vomiting she, used to go to sleep to get up again to vomit followed by sleepiness. I am sorry I did not take not of this symptom. My wife was very anxious and asked me what I have given. She asked me why have I not given Ipecac ?
I thought for a while and as there was no thirst I decided to give Ipecac. After the 1st dose the vomiting stopped and next morning she was hale and hearty. I was very much impressed by the performance of Ipecac and I opened Allen's Keynotes to find that it has vomiting of glairy mucous in large quantities without relief and also has the symptom 'sleepy afterwards.'
This last symptom I did not know. Had I known this I would have prescribed Ipecac in the first instance.
