In this Autumn newsletter, I am going to try to educate you and help you prepare for the winter ahead-I have only done three articles as they are a little long but truly well worth reading. (feel free to register for our informative newsletters if you have not already).

Here I will tell you about homeopathics (a vibrational medicine which we obtain from Owen’s) which our clinic stock. These are very safe to take for children through to adults. If you ever need help we have flyers advising on things like surgery, traveling, sports injury, Anxiety in children, stress, womens issues (menopause). As there are homeopathics to assist with most issues.

 

From the flyer= Colds, Flu, Winter ills:

The first symptoms of a cold or flu can be different for

everyone, however these five remedies cover most situations.

At the first sign of infection take Anas barbariae 200c, then

Aconite in alternation with first aid tissue salt Ferrum phos

for rapid onset or Gelsemium with Ferrum phos for slow

onset. Ferrum phos and Kali mur are generally well indicated

as they are understood to stimulate the immune system and

reduce inflammation.

If the illness progresses, consider the remedies below, bearing

in mind they may cover any or all of the stages, if they fit your

particular picture.

Aconite: Sudden onset often preceded by exposure to chill

wind or shock. Fever and chill may alternate; there can be

strong thirst and a burning, pricking sensation in the throat.

Allium: Clear, profuse, acrid discharge, corrodes nostrils &

upper lip, watery eyes.

Arsenicum: Chilly and exhausted with anxious restlessness.

Thirsty for sips of warm water. Watery, runny nose with irritating

discharge, sneezing fits and a dry or wheezing cough. There

may be burning tummy pain & diarrhoea.

Belladonna: Sudden onset, with a high temperature or

alternating chills and heat, flushed face. The extremities may

be cold. Inflammatory symptoms of a very sore throat, pounding

headache and nagging cough. Usually right sided.

Bryonia: Headache and achey pain throughout the body.

Very grumpy and miserable, everything is much worse from

movement. Dry mouth, lips and nose and great thirst for long,

cold drinks.

Hepar sulph: Thick, yellow/green discharges. Sore throat with

splinter like pains, cold sores and blocked nose when outside.

Productive cough.

Kali bic: Thick yellow/green discharges, stringy, ropy, tough and

jelly-like. Or may be so congested that there is no discharge.

Headachy sinus pain.

Mercurius: Profuse salivation, infected throat, night sweats,

intense thirst, bad taste in mouth, ulcers and bad breath and

generally feels toxic.

Nat mur: First symptom is sneezing and a runny nose

rather than a fever. The discharge is like egg white. May be

accompanied by a cold sore.

Nux vomica: Chilly, shivers if uncovered, can’t get warm. Dry,

stuffed up nose and rough, scrapey throat. Very irritable and

wants warm drinks.

Pulsatilla: A bland, thick, yellow discharge. The nose is

blocked indoors and runs in the open air, dry mouth with no
