The weather is beginning to change and the Autumn Equinox is this coming Saturday. While this time can be embraced as an opportunity for renewal or for letting go, it is also a time to prepare for the colder months.
Covid and your bog standard colds and flu-like illnesses are already travelling around my children’s schools - perhaps yours too.
To help them through the symptoms speedily and lastingly, make sure you have the following remedies at home:
Aconite - at the first sign that symptoms are building, especially after being caught out in a cold wind.
Allium Cepa - this is the onion in its homeopathic form for the common cold with stinging eyes that water, sneezing and a runny nose that turns the space between your nose and your upper lip red and sore.
Belladonna - again at the onset of illness if your child wakes at night feverish with a red face, dilated pupils and a fast pulse.
Eupatorium Perfoliatum - for the horrible deep bone ache of fluey viruses.
Gelsemium - again for flu - with chills and shaking, exhaustion, heavy head and droopy eyelids.
Kali Bichromicum - this remedy is a great one for post nasal drip and unblocking stubborn sinuses.
Pulsatilla - for very snotty people who are feeling very sorry for themselves and become very needy - or rather even needier - when they are ill.
All these remedies are available from the superb homeopathic pharmacies Ainsworths and Helios.
Let me know if you need any further advice and also let homeopathy make your winter easier.
