BORAX
the girl frightened and terrified from sudden loud noise. foremost remedy for frightening is ACONITE.
The remedy for sensitivity to ‘sudden reports’ ie. sudden loud noises as from an explosion – is Borax. According to Boericke, Borax is indicated for ‘violent fright from the report of a gun, even at a distance’. My vote goes to BORAX.
I think Borax would be a great choice because of the ‘fright from loud noise’ ……….but Aconite would certainly help in this situation also, sudden event, very intense, terrified reaction….and who carries Borax around in their pocket? The mum said she had the remedy in her pocket, she had it at hand. I’m thinking Aconite was used seeing I would have to dig deep to find Borax myself.
The mum says that Mira was the only child out of the four to have such a profound reaction. She also had a bad previous reaction to the poppits (on the 4th July), which was alleviated after the remedy. So it seems to me there is a constitutional sensitivity to sudden noise, calling for a more individualised remedy. The mum also states that without the remedy she would have expected prolonged crying, clinging and skittishness. This fits the constitutional Borax picture. Borax is quite a common remedy for infants. It is not that unusual for parent’s to have their child’s constitutional remedy on hand.
