As the weather and the daylight hours shift, the body and our psychology sometimes need some support to adapt to the changes. Homeopathy can be really helpful for the following kinds of situations and more.
Recurrent colds or flu
To help boost your immunity, as your homeopath, I would need to know what recurrent symptoms you get in autumn and winter. Do you get repeated sore throats or tonsilitis, chesty coughs, sinusitis or flu-like symptoms with chills and aching limbs. These differences would lead me in turn to prescribe different remedies that recognise your individuality. The objective is to reduce the frequency and intensity of the symptoms, raising your baseline health as we go.
Allergies to fungus on trees and plants
Allergies are indicative of impaired immunity. The homeopathic approach is to work on two levels simultaneously: we prescribe remedies to boost immunity and others to help the body manage its response to allergens until the immunity is sufficiently improved. All this is achieved naturally and without the adverse side effects of antihistamines.
Low mood and Seasonal Affective Disorder
Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine that can be used to address both physical and mental or emotional symptoms. There are many remedies for low mood, and particularly for low mood that is worsened by the change in season and the reduced hours of daylight. Your homeopath will need to know exactly how you feel as no two people experience slow mood in quite the same way. Does your low mood affect your energy levels or your digestive system, give you headaches, lower your resilience to stress or affect your libido? Your personal experience will lead your homeopath to the prescription that will be of most help to shift things in a positive direction.
