Cold Cough Fever Flu

Boenninghausen 's croup powders

Barky seal = Aconite napalleus

Dry Hacky = Spongia tosta

Loose throaty = Hepar sulph

Aconite 30C OR Belladonna 30C (NOT BOTH) are THE remedies to consider in the first 12-24 hours. 

Spongia for a dry hacky cough/hoarseness

Hepar sulph 30C for a loose wet throaty phlegmy cough

One can alternate Spongia/Hepar if dry hacking/phlegmy cough.

One can alternate Bell/Spongia if dry spasmodic/hacking cough.

Spongia 30C & Hepar sulph 30C are complimentary

Belladonna 30C and Hepar sulph 30C are complimentary

Spongia 30C and Belladonna 30C are complimentary

Spongia follows Bell & Aconite well. 

Belladonna 30C works well for teasing dry cough at night.

Homeopathic remedies can reduce the intensity and duration of an acute illness, but you are still sick and you will have to rest and nourish your body while it deals with the cold/flu pathogens. There are lots of homeopathic remedies that lessen the duration and intensity of colds, flus and viral illnesses.

PLEASE DO REFER TO MY NOTES FOR REMEDIES FOR SYMPTOMS OF THE COUGH COLD FLU & FEVER.

Prevention: Give yourself an increased chance of staying healthy during flu season by eating all the right things, getting enough exercise, rest, and sleep. Washing your hands with soap and water when around those who are sick will help to reduce your chances of contracting the disease.

Kari J. Kindem of Homeopathy for women has a very simple protocol, Ars alb 30C once a week throughout the flu season September through April, or Ars alb 200C once a month. https://immunizationalternatives.com/influenza/
She recommends using the Oscillococcinum 200C if there has been exposure.

AYUSH –CCRH(Central council of Homeopathy) recommends the Arsenicum album 30C as a preventative.

British Homeopathic association recommends taking Oscillococcinum 200 (also known as Anas barb) at the start of an attack of ’flu, take a dose as soon as possible and repeat two or three times at six hourly intervals

National center of Homeopathy recommends taking the Oscillococcinum 200C at the very beginning of feeling ill even before any symptoms have developed or if there has been exposure.

Dr. Robin Murphy also recommends Oscillococcinum 200C as a preventative.

Joette Calabrese’s prophylactic protocol is to use Influenzinum 30C one day a week for the first 4 weeks of the Fall/Flu season tentatively September, then once a month over the course of the influenza months, October through April, with additional doses if in contact with someone who has the flu.

Kerri flood recommends taking a monthly dose of the Influenzinum 30C for the duration of flu season - October through April

Tamara Der-Ohanian recommends taking the Influenzinum 200C (or 30C) – once a month during the flu season.

If you usually take the Influenzinum 9C/30C/200C or the Trifle flu defense or the Mucco-coccinum, September through April, you can absolutely continue to take any of those too.

Take anyone one, whichever you have access to, 3 doses, 12 hours apart on a neutral clean mouth with no taste of food or drink. An extra dose as needed if and when in a crowded place or exposed to a sick person. Stay hydrated, use common sense measures and lots of hand washing with good old soap and water (at least 20 seconds).

We usually wash hands and face whenever we come back from being outside, be it the grocery store, the gym or any place where there were people.

Salt water/warm gargles are old school but effective.
