Relief With Homeopathic Cold Remedies

By Jason Graham


Getting a cold is a bummer. Most people have to soldier on even with sniffles, coughs, sinus congestion, and fatigue. Finding a safe way to alleviate these symptoms may seem impossible, but homeopathic cold remedies offer just that. They are effective, fast-acting, and have none of the side effects that come with pharmaceutical over-the-counter products.

Homeopathy is a traditional branch of medicine, created in the late 1800s and used widely before the discovery of penicillin. It is still regulated by the FDA in the United States. This treatment protocol follows the philosophy of 'like cures like'. A great example is the use of the onion - allium - to treat the sniffles and watering eyes that often accompany a cold. As most of us know, cutting up an onion causes these symptoms; a minute amount of the vegetable relieves them.

The amount of onion in the remedy is so minute that it cannot be detected under a microscope. This is because the active ingredient is diluted many times in milk sugar. Many scoffers say that this kind of remedy can't possibly work, but millions of people around the world beg to differ. They have used homeopathy - like arnica for muscle soreness or bruising - and know it works.

The creator of this branch of medicine, as well as those who practice and use it, adhere to the principle which says that a physician must 'do no harm' in treating a patient. The remedies in the over-the-counter potency available to the general public are totally safe. They are effective on people of all ages, as well as on animals, which negates the idea that they have only a placebo effect.

Some basic remedies are made with minerals found in human tissue. These are even used for young children, and many are great for colds and the annoying symptoms caused by viruses. Ferr phos is one that subdues a fever without suppressing it entirely, thereby allowing the fever to accomplish its natural purpose of fighting infection. It is also nutritive, building the blood and providing a safe form of iron. The tissue salts - 12 remedies in this category - are sold in a low potency termed 6X.

Nat mur, another tissue salt, regulates water in the body and is used for runny noses. It also can help with dehydration, a worry for parents of young children who may not eat or drink readily when ill. Kali phos is another; among other things, it is often used for coughs and seems to be able to deflect croup from becoming severe. It's always worth trying natural alternatives before resorting to something that may have dangerous side effects, like ibuprofen.

Consumers have made some homeopathic cold formulas so popular that conventional pharmacies and grocery stores carry them. If you look, you will find homeopathy on the shelves under names you might even recognize. It comes in liquid formulas, tablets (called pellets in the industry), and lozenges.

Treating colds with homeopathy is safe and effective. Those who wish to avoid chemical formulas have a wide choice of products for unpleasant symptom relief. Go online to find more information on this kind of medicine and to see customer reviews of products on the market. It's nice to have some safe alternatives in your arsenal to fight winter's ills.
