Common cold: homeopathic remedies that work
Without contraindications, homeopathy is suitable even for young children and babies. In the event of a cold, we provide relief on a case-by-case basis: if we have taken a cold snap, we need Aconitum Napellus 5 CH (2 granules 3 times a day if the cold was dry) or Dulcamara 15 CH (5 granules every 2 hours if the cold was humid).
If you have a runny nose, take Allium Cepa 9 CH (5 granules 4 to 5 times a day if the discharge is clear with sneezing) or Kalium Sulfuricum 9 CH (5 granules 3 times a day if the discharge is yellowish).
Finally, if you have a stuffy and runny nose, Nux Vomica 5 CH is our best ally (5 granules 4 times a day).
Common cold: herbal medicine to the rescue
Use plants to calm a nasopharyngitis that drags on, why not! Thyme fights viral infection: let infuse 10 min 1 tsp. to c. of thyme in a large cup of boiling water to make an anti-infective herbal tea to sip 3 times a day.
Against blocked, irritated and runny noses, we invoke eucalyptus! Place a few leaves (ideally fresh) in a bowl in boiling water, cover your head with a towel and lean over the bowl (without burning yourself) to breathe the steam at the top of your lungs – to do 2 or 3 times per day.
Common cold: essential oils to have at home
Eucalyptus is once again “the” most suitable remedy. From the age of 6, apply 2 pure drops of Eucalyptus Radiata essential oil (Eucalyptus radiata Siebold : not to be confused with other eucalyptus essential oils!) under the tongue 4 times a day for 2 days.
And from the age of 3, take a deep breath directly above the open bottle, 4 to 6 times a day.
