Yes, and it's fantastic for stomach issues! :yes

For the person who vomits, I give a capsule after the initial vomiting, and then re-dose after every vomiting episode. Usually, it helps pretty quickly. For everyone else who has been exposed, I also give a capsule as a preventative. For little ones, I will usually mix it into applesauce or a drink, since they can't swallow the capsules.

Yes, it's great. I take it in capsules.

It can be constipating but we've never had problems because usually everything is coming out, anyway, if you kwim.

If you can also get nux vomica, that always helps here.
