8/7/2023 0 Comments Helios remedy kitsI hadn’t used Homeobotanicals in acute situations – yet. I have been using Homeobotanicals in clinic for a few months now as organ and system support alongside homeopathic treatment and the feedback has been very encouraging. This is not the only symptom to differentiate the two remedies but it helps when looking at that aching feeling.Īll this had been happening over a 3-day period and whilst Teen Riches was certainly looking and feeling much better than she did, she was still not herself.Īt this point I thought I would add in some Homeobotanicals. The difference is Gelsemium has more muscle soreness feeling and Eupatorium more bone aching. There are two remedies I think of for aching feeling with colds – Gelsemium and Eupatorium. Teen Riches was very sleepy, feeling weak, no thirst at all and complaining of feeling sore, the muscle soreness rather than aching bones. I was expecting this to develop into tonsillitis and after the Apis things changed again. When we are ill our body is not very interested in digesting foods when it is focusing on working through acute symptoms such as a cold and sore throat. I was keen to ensure she was taking in adequate fluids whilst ill but felt OK about the reduced appetite. Her appetite and thirst were reduced, she looked pale and was generally feeling cold. How did I know this? She could take more Vitamin C before reaching bowel tolerance. Whilst she was ill her intake of Vitamin C increased. She was still feeling a bit grumpy and wasn’t keen on company so I went with Apis 30c twice hourly for 3-4 hours whilst keeping an eye on any changing symptoms.Īlong with homeopathy, she was taking elderberry tincture 4 times per day, high dose Vitamin C and Zinc, taking Vitamin C to bowel tolerance. Teen Riches was restless but didn’t quite know what to do with herself. There was no fever or swollen tonsils so I discounted Belladonna. This didn’t seem to move things along particularly, so looking again at her symptoms which were inflamed, dry throat with painful swallowing I looked at Belladonna and Apis. Hepar Sulph helped a little so we repeated – every 30minutes for 3-4 hours. When dealing with acute symptoms like this I usually start with 30c potency unless the symptoms are very intense. Quickly her symptoms moved on and settled into a very sore throat, feeling chilly with pain extending to her ears on swallowing and wanting to be left alone. Teen Riches had moved beyond the initial stages of her symptoms by the time she had this remedy. Like Aconite, Ferrum Phos is a great remedy to the initial stages of a cold. I think we missed the window for this remedy. I started with Ferrum Phos 30c as soon as she told me she wasn’t feeling too well. As the half term holidays progressed, rest and a change of scenery was helping, but not quite enough – Teen Riches was developing a cold and quickly. The school term was coming to an end and it was clear she needed to rest and an opportunity to do something other than school. For a few days she was just out of sorts – sometimes you just know when your children are not themselves, often before they do. All the remedies used are available in a home prescribing kit available from Helios and Ainsworth’s Homeopathic pharmacies. I thought I would share with you how I used homeopathy (and more) to treat a winter acute. You may need to take more than one remedy to resolve your symptoms – this is the nature of dealing with an acute illness. With the right remedy your symptoms can be less intense and short lived. The below US and UK manufacturers are FDA-registered and comply with Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the US (HPUS) protocols, with the exception of Helios, which follows comparable UK government requirements.Coughs, colds and flu like symptoms respond very well to homeopathic treatment.
