Colds & Homeopathy

Runny nose, stuffiness, sneezing, reduced sense of taste and smell, sore throat, cough. Infants and young children are more likely than adults and adolescents to develop a fever. Symptoms are usually more severe in smokers than in non-smokers. The illness is mild most of the time and lasts about ten days in total. The first 3 days that symptoms appear is the period when you can spread the virus to others. It is said that one or two colds every year is not bad, as it "cleans" the system. If you find that you have more than two colds a year, it would be a good idea to seek help from a professional homeopath to strengthen your immune system.

The goal of homeopathy is not just to treat the symptoms of the cold but to address the underlying cause and individual susceptibility. In terms of treatment, several well-proven remedies are available for treating the cold, which can be selected based on the cause, condition, sensation and patterns of symptoms. Aconite, Bryonia, Belladonna, Hepar sulph, Allium cepa, Euphrasia, Arsenic album, Ipecac, Ammonium carb, Aurum triph, Kali carb, Kali bichromicum, Phosphorous, Merc solubilis, Gelsemium, Rhus tox, Natrum mur, Calcarea carb, Osillococcinum, Influenzinum, Eucalyptus and many other medicines. Along with homeopathic remedies, the most effective treatment for the common cold and flu is rest and plenty of fluids. To increase fluids, try warm water with lemon juice and a little honey for extra vitamin C. Prefer a light diet with soups, fresh fruits, vegetables and plenty of fresh air. An unbeatable remedy for decongesting a "stuffy" nose and stopping snot is the serum or seawater NAZAL CLEANER. A small amount should be taken through the nose, no matter how unpleasant it is to get water in the nose, and it causes a sudden and rapid flow of fluids. Repeat later, if necessary. Plenty of fluids are required for patients with the flu. Recurrent colds in adults and children require constitutional homeopathic treatment, as well as for personalized medicine selection, the patient should consult a qualified homeopath in person.
