Recipe for

Autumn Health

"The fall months are the period when the sudden changes of temperature and chilly nights act powerfully on systems weakened by heat of summer, and as a protective measure, five celloids of Ferrum Phos. in the morning, and five celloids of Kali Mur. in the evening, should be taken again."

excerpt from Dr. Schuessler’s Biochemistry- A New Domestic Treatise

As You Said...

Kali Mur and the

Common Cold

For the past few years, I have used Kali Mur whenever I get a cold. I am amazed at how effective this remedy is. My colds are always brief and not very severe. I owe this to my use of Kali Mur. I have found homeopathic remedies to be very useful for my health on a number of occasions.

STAY IN BALANCE

Calc fluor (Calcarea fluorica): The Elasticity Cell Salt Remedy:  While you may have to move your exercise indoors, keep those muscles flexing. While providing much of the hardness in our teeth and bones, calcium fluoride keeps many of our tissues soft and flexible. As the compound responsible for elasticity in our bone, joint, muscle, teeth and vein tissues, calcium fluoride, and thus its remedy Calc fluor, is invaluable for tissues that cannot bounce back from injury, repeated sprains, over-stretching, pregnancy, growth or illness.

Calc phos (Calcarea phosphoricum): The Growth and Repair Remedy:  When the stress of going back to school means growing pains, study headaches and simple anemia, this remedy can make a big difference. Yet we can all use its strengthening support when issues of structural stress, growth/repair or weakness develop. Arthritic joints, back and neck pain that are worse with the slightest draft, carpal tunnel symptoms, tendonitis and slow healing bones can all find balancing support in Calc phos. It also offers a boost of vitality when simple acute anemia, weak digestion or fatigue linger after an illness, injury or childbirth.

Calc sulph (Calcarea sulphurica): A Congestion Clearing Cell Salt:  With cell salts, you can call on their support before symptoms demand it, especially if history proves you are susceptible. In this case that would be a history of colds, coughs, swollen glands, ear issues, eye irritation and sinus congestions that secrete thick yellow mucus and worsen with milk products. If mature colds include headache, post nasal drip, sore throat, heavy posterior sinuses and choking coughs or lingering croupy morning coughs, you cannot go wrong with this one.

Ferrum phos (Ferrum phosphoricum): The Anti-Inflammatory Remedy:  A very handy remedy any time of year! This first aid cell salt does its best work in the first stage of inflammation of all types– turning around a child’s sudden fever, stopping acute ear pains from becoming earaches or cutting off colds before they start. Whenever symptoms like redness, heat, throbbing or fever, suggest acute inflammation (sore red throat, toothache, red eye, ear pain, common colds, anemia, skin eruptions, etc.), Ferr phos helps the blood do its job and fix the problem quickly.

Kali mur (Kali muriaticum): The Early Stage Cleansing Cell Salt:  When a white coated tongue or white discharge accompanies your respiratory, digestive or skin symptoms, Kali mur can be a great cleansing agent. With Kali mur you can stop a cold before it matures to yellow stubborn mucus congestion. It also helps systems clean out congestion symptoms like sinus pains, acute ear pains, sore throat, a hard cough with white mucus, and swollen glands.  Taking Kali mur for a few days before a flight, can save traveling ears much discomfort.

Kali phos (Kali Phosphoricum): Nerve Nutrient Cell Salt Remedy:  However physical and emotional symptoms are intertwined, this remedy helps the nerves stay calm. Its pain relief includes nervous headaches caused by study, stress, grief or nerve injury; backache, sciatic pain and other neuralgic pains, especially if they result in weakness and cold heavy-feeling limbs. Stress or pain related nausea with empty feeling and bitter belching settle down quickly with Kali phos.  It can even quiet buzzing or ringing in the ears.  Emotionally, Kali phos has restorative, calming powers over temper tantrums, grief, low spirits, anxiety, hypersensitive nerves, night terrors and sleeplessness.

Kali sulph (Kali Sulfuricum):  A Cleansing Cell Salt Remedy:  By the time your symptoms turn yellow, you know you need some help.  Kali sulph’s leading indicator is yellow, especially a yellowish coating on the tongue, profuse thin or sticky yellow mucus, yellow vaginal discharge, yellow diarrhea and yellow skin issues. When mucus is yellow, Kali sulph helps clean out stubborn colds, rattling croupy coughs, acute ear congestion, sinus symptoms, sticky eyes and acute wheezing asthma.

Mag phos (Magnesia Phosphoricum):  The Anti-Spasm Cell Salt:  Fresh cold air can often stimulate tense muscles - until you retrain them with this cell salt. Mag phos aids many spasmodic conditions in which nerves and muscles cannot cooperate: charley horses and other leg cramps, back spasms, menstrual cramps, musician’s and writer’s cramp, hiccups and in certain cases, bedwetting. Spasming muscles and nerve symptoms as diverse as spasmodic coughs, abdominal pain/colic, flatulent colic, toothache, teething pain, stabbing headaches and sciatica yield to this cell salt’s relaxing influence.

Natrum mur (Natrum Muriaticum):  The Dryness & Grief Remedy:  Whether dryness is the cause or result of symptoms, Nat mur provides and curing balance. Dry membranes cause mucus and discharges to become thick like egg white, as in Nat mur colds or hayfever with a profuse runny nose, watery eyes, post nasal drip, dry throat and dry tickling cough. It often gets to the source to relieve other dry membranes as well, including irritated eyes, flakey skin and dry urinary and vaginal surfaces. When old griefs are tucked away only to haunt you when you want to sleep, Nat mur probably has just what you need.

Natrum phos (Natrum phosphoricum):  The Acidity Cell Salt: A perfect place to turn after (or before) holiday feasting. Two typical symptoms of acid buildup and resulting congestion mark the need for Nat phos’ help: sourness– sour belching, vomiting, sour smelling perspiration; and yellowness– yellow mucus, a yellow coating on the back of the tongue, and yellow skin issues. Its head colds have creamy coating on the sore throat, yellow mucus, and a painful cough. This soothing remedy is also useful in keeping muscles acid free and gliding smoothly and joints free of acidic deposits.

Natrum sulph (Natrum sulphuricum):  The Water Distribution Remedy: If damp weather or damp places bother you, your digestion or your breathing, check out this cell salt. It specializes in digestive problems with slow digestion including dyspepsia and heartburn with sour belching, sour vomiting and hiccups, plus frequent need to urinate and painful yellow diarrhea. Its colds have profuse yellow mucus, and a rattling thick ropy cough. Acute cases of humid asthma can find support with Nat sulph - along with professional help, of course. Its application for mental/emotional changes following old or new head injuries is gaining it some fame as well.

Silica (Silicea):  The Grit Cell Salt Remedy: Acne and high school do not mix well, so if your teen needs a safe cleansing option, here it is. When weak or overtaxed cleansing systems cause skin and gland symptoms, Silica can help the body clear out many issues. In the skin, it helps with acne, splinters, boils, abscesses, ulcers, corns, tooth infections, athlete’s foot and toenail fungus. In swollen or inflamed glands it can prove quite cleansing. The colds, coughs, sinus and ear congestion it treats best have dry, crusty or blocked nasal passages and hammering, burning headaches. Of course Silica’s purging action applies well to digestive uses like constipation and flatulence as well.
