Hi all. Having a few homeopathic remedies in the house to deal with coughs can be very handy and prevent many a sleepless night. Below are three of the top cough remedies used in homeopathy. Please note that these remedies are recommended for non-severe, non-serious situations. Professionsal help should always be sought if the cough is severe or persistent.
Pulsatilla
This is an invaluable children's remedy, though it's not exclusively for children. Think of this remedy if the person you're helping turns into a snot factory when they have a cold. The Pulsatilla cough will often be productive, ie the person will cough up a fair amount of phlegm. They'll feel better in the fresh air and worse in a warm, stuffy room. Pulsatilla people aren't generally stoical in illness: they're needy, clingy and usually feel rather sorry for themselves.
Bryonia
The cough that Bryonia will help is dry and very painful. Because the Bryonia person generally feels worse for movement and better for rest and keeping still, they may well hold their head or chest while coughing to limit the movement the coughs make. As the cough is dry, they'll be very thirsty and are likely to be extremely irritable.
Aconite
Think of this remedy if a cough develops suddenly, especially after you've been caught out in the cold. The cough is characteristically croupy and the person might also have a fever. The Aconite person will often be anxious and restless.
