Meet Your Christmas Dinner Table Remedies!
Remember, this is tongue-in-cheek, don’t take it so seriously. We love having some fun and keeping it light.
Homeopathy has a remedy for every festive personality! From Nux Vomica (who ate one too many mince pies) to Platina (judging Secret Santa gifts), there’s a match for every mood, stomach ache, and emotional moment this holiday season.
Not sure which remedy you can spot at the dinner table? Swipe through to find out who’s secretly vacuuming under the table (looking at you, Arsenicum Album) and who is ‘educating’ everyone on the injustice of stopping methane farts in cattle (Causticum, the fight is real, stay strong ).
Everyone deserves a little TLC! Who do you recognise?
We have some digestive remedies that you may find useful this season too.
Nux Vomica – The Overindulgent Foodie
"Pass the pudding! And the wine! And the cheese!"
Nux Vomica is the one who eats everything, drinks everything, and then spends the night groaning on the couch, insisting, "I’m fine, I do this every year." Perfect for post-binge indigestion and the inevitable irritability. about why your brain is more fried than the oil in your local chippie and how you can make it through the gift-buying marathon without losing your festive cheer, or your mind, for that matter. With a bit of science (of the neuroscience variety), some practical coaching tips, and a sprinkle of humour, you’ll get back to feeling like you’re in charge instead of drowning in wrapping paper.
Platina – The Gift Snob
"Oh, socks again? I was expecting something... more bespoke."
Platina is the one who scoffs at Secret Santa gifts and looks down their nose at your handmade mince pies. "I only eat organic, artisan bakes." Perfect for handling an inflated ego (yours or theirs).
Calc Carb – The Overwhelmed Organizer
"Is the turkey done? Where are the crackers? Did I forget to wrap the presents?!"
Calc Carb is the frazzled host running the whole show. They’ve spent weeks planning, but by Christmas Day, they’re ready to collapse into a chair with a milky drink and a biscuit. Perfect for exhaustion and "What if everything goes wrong?" anxiety.
Causticum - The Justice Warrior
"The dinner looks delicious, but did anyone think about the ethical implications of where the dairy came from? ARLA anyone?
Causticum is the one bringing the hard-hitting questions to the festivities, fiercely advocating for justice even in the middle of the holiday cheer. They'll eat the pudding but only after they've double-checked that no ARLA dairy products were used. Perfect for righteous indignation and the "this isn’t just about us" attitude.
Arsenicum Album – The Clean Freak
"Use a coaster! Don’t spill on the carpet! Are those crumbs on the sofa?!"
Arsenicum Album is the one with a microfibre cloth in one hand, a disinfectant spray in the other, with a mask (to avoid catching any diseases) glaring at everyone eating on the couch. Perfect for post-Christmas tummy troubles and perfectionism-induced stress.
Pulsatilla – The Emotional Softie
"Oh, look at that bauble! I made that when I was five... sob."
Pulsatilla is crying over the decorations, the turkey, and the family slideshow. They need hugs, reassurance, and a warm cuddle. Perfect for emotional overwhelm and when that bread and butter pudding does not bode well.
Natrum Muriaticum – The Quiet One in the Corner
"I’m fine. No, I’m not upset. I’m just thinking... about everything I’ve ever done wrong."
Nat Mur sits quietly in the corner, avoiding eye contact. They’re secretly hurt that no one noticed they wanted a book for Christmas. Perfect for emotional withdrawal and post-Christmas blues.
Staphysagria – The Passive-Aggressive Guest
"Oh, you made the gravy? It’s fine, really. Just not how I would have done it."
Staphysagria is simmering with suppressed rage because you are using ARLA dairy products for dinner (how dare you?). Perfect for handling grudges and the silent treatment after family disagreements.
Sepia – The Tired Mum
"Christmas is lovely, but I’m doing everything while you lot sit around like chocolate logs."
Sepia is the one who’s done all the cooking, all the cleaning, and all the emotional labor. They’ll join the fun after they’ve had a lie-down and a big bar of chocolate. Perfect for exhaustion and the "Do I have to do everything?" attitude.
DIGESTIVE REMEDIES

That hot dog at the market stall looked so irresistible, but now? Arsenicum Album is for when food poisoning turns your tummy into a disaster zone. Burning belly runs to the loo, and instant regret—grab some Arsenicum album.
Lycopodium – The “One More Bite Brigade Remedy”
Still eating even though you’re bursting? Lycopodium saves you from bloating, gas, and that full-but-still-eating vibe we all get when we just can't say no to the extra bread and butter pudding.
China – The “Too Much of a Good Thing Fixer”
Stuffed like the turkey after all those extra plates? China restores your energy after one too many festive feasts, perfect for when every Auntie Ji insists you “eat a little more.”
Pulsatilla – The “Rich Food Regret Remedy”
Can’t handle the creamy kulfi or too much butter chicken?
Pulsatilla is perfect for tummy troubles after rich, indulgent food. It is great for the sensitive eater who just had to try everything at the buffet.
Natrum Phos – The “Acid Assassin”
Gone a bit too hard on the prosecco and chai tea. Natrum Phos is for heartburn, sour burps, and the fiery aftermath when your inner child said yes, but your stomach said no.
Ipecacuanha – The “Queasy Quitter”
Too much creamy mash potatoes. Ipecac is your remedy when you’re feeling sick but nothing’s happening. Perfect for those "I think I’m gonna throw up" moments at the family table.
Bryonia – The “Leave Me Alone Remedy”
Too many 'Jack Daniels' and now you’re in pain? Bryonia is for the “don’t move me, don’t talk to me” kind of tummy troubles. Best used when all you want is to lie down in the spare room
Colocynthis – The “Cramps Calmer”
Cramps have got you doubling over after that last helping of mom's homemade Christmas pudding? All you want is a hot water bottle to curl up with, then we hope your 'crunchy' wife has colocynthis in her first aid kit
