Colds, etc.

Whether we call it a cold, hay fever or sinusitis is not important in homeopathy.  A combination sinus remedy may suit your cold symptoms better than a remedy we call Colds. The key is to find a good fit between the remedy's symptoms and yours. "Sneezing with a dry burning sensation" is much more indicative than "I have a cold."  On the pages of our web site, you'll find useful descriptions of each remedy's symptoms and "personalities" to better match them with your symptoms.  The best place to start for cold relief is our Cold & Flu Topics page. You can browse through combination and single remedies in detailed sub-categories like colds, cough, ears, eyes, flu & fever, hay fever, sinus and throat.  As you read through our remedy descriptions, you may enjoy recognizing the symptoms and personalities of family members or people you know in the remedies - "that's just how Billy reacts to ..."  When you start thinking of homeopathy this way, you've got the key to unlocking its great healing potential.  It can also be mildly humorous when you think about loved ones and the interesting nuances of their behavior, "you know he will reject that as soon as he gets it - the Chamomilla way."  With or without these insights, you can find a world of relief and support in products with simple names like Colds #99.


 Homeopathy is Complementary, 

Not Complicated

Though combinations make it much easier, finding the perfect match to your symptoms is not always a simple task. So keep in mind, taking a remedy that doesn't match perfectly is often better than no remedy at all. What's more you'll do no harm even if your remedy choice is way off base.  No side effects!  No drug interactions!  These characteristics  make homeopathy an ideal choice, especially if you take other medications.  

Key Cold & Flu Singles

Aconitum napellus

Sudden sniffles, scares and shocks - the Aconite alliteration. When given with the first sneeze, sniffle, dry throat, fever or other sign that a cold is on its way, Aconite will often stop the inflammation before it develops.

Allium cepa

Whether you get a Spring cold or a bout of hay fever, Allium cepa can bring great relief when burning watery nasal discharge makes the upper lip feel raw, and bland tears may stream down the cheeks, especially in damp cold weather.

Belladonna

This one is hot! Belladonna is a key fever remedy that aids sudden eruptive fevers and inflammatory conditions marked by great redness, heat, throbbing and a thirst for cold water.

Bryonia alba

When stress turns your somewhat playful buddy into an irritable bear, check this out. Bryonia was given the nicknames 'grumpy bear' and 'hangover' remedy, because it helps conditions that do not want to be spoken to, bothered or moved in any way.

Kali bich

Stubborn stringy yellow mucus with colds, sinusitis, post nasal drip, gagging coughs, headaches.

Pulsatilla

Yellow cold/flu/hayfever, night coughs; indigestion, car sickness; PMS, cramps; headeaches, moodiness
