Abstract	Psychosomatic illness in children frequently manifests as physical symptoms that are closely associated with emotional stress. Adverse emotional experiences can activate autonomic pathways, resulting in functional disturbances such as nausea, cough, and vomiting in the absence of organic pathology. Recognition of this mind–body interaction is essential for accurate diagnosis and for planning individualized homoeopathic management. In the present case, characteristic symptom analysis led to the selection of Cuprum metallicum, following which marked relief was observed in gastric symptoms, supporting the role of individualized homoeopathic intervention in psychosomatic presentations.
