Homeopathic medicines for colds

So the golden autumn has come - the most poetic time in our area. How pleasing to the eye is the variety of colors of foliage! And the colorful fruits just play in the warm September sun! They beckon with luxurious smells and natural vitamins... Migratory birds gather to the south, and busy compatriots flock to the north. Home. What awaits them? The joy of meeting after holidays and holidays. And expectant mothers - and something else: the joy of waiting to meet the baby. And no autumn cold, no squelching puddles and cold noses should darken this joy. Therefore, let's prepare in advance to meet bad weather, slush and harmful infections fully armed.

To begin with, some general information about how a cold differs from the flu, what the principles of their treatment are, and what you should not do if you have a cold during pregnancy.

Colds and flu: what's the difference

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a “cold” in domestic medicine. Because under the influence of hypothermia, you can either get sick with an acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) or “earn” an exacerbation of chronic inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx. The manifestations can be very similar.

Influenza is one of the types of acute respiratory viral infections. Why do we highlight it especially? Due to the fact that it, more than other viral infections, tends to lead to a decrease in immunity and, as a result, more often gives a wide variety of complications. This means that if you find yourself with the flu symptoms listed below, take them seriously, go to bed and get treated. And do not begin your usual duties earlier than 10 days after the onset of the illness, because the complications of the flu are much more unpleasant than the flu itself.

Prevention and treatment of ARVI with homeopathy

ARVI is an acute respiratory viral infection. It can be caused by more than 200 types of viruses (influenza, adenovirus, parainfluenza, rhinovirus, coronavirus, etc.). Transmitted by airborne droplets.

Symptoms : 1. Fever 2. Pain or sore throat 3. Runny nose, cough

Complications : Untimely or improper treatment of colds can lead to serious complications, such as: bacterial rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis, tracheitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, meningitis, neuritis, radiculoneuritis, etc.

COMMON TREATMENT OF ARVI

1. Symptomatic remedies:

• For pain and fever: NSAIDs (aspirin, paracetamol, etc.)
• Remedies for the common cold: vasoconstrictor drops and nasal sprays.
• Remedies for sore throat: gargles, inhalations, emollients with antiseptics
• Cough suppressants: expectorants or antitussives.

2. Antiviral drugs. 3. Antibacterial drugs (used for complications of ARVI).

PROBLEMS OF TREATING VIRAL DISEASES

—Allopathic medicine has drugs to combat bacterial infections, however, there are few effective strategies to combat viral proliferation.

——Symptomatic treatment of viral infections often benefits the virus rather than the body (for example, fever has a virus-inhibiting effect). Antipyretic medications lower the temperature and thereby inhibit the effectiveness of the body's appropriate defense response against the virus.

——The control mechanisms against any infection are associated with very low doses of mediators. Intervention based on any blocking substance in high doses disrupts the autoregulation of this system for a long time and even increases the risk of regulatory rigidity.

Table of common medications used to treat viral infections and their side effects.

The best treatment for viruses is acquired immunity.

Homeopathic therapy stimulates the body's own defenses for recovery.

Antihomotoxic therapy (founder - H.H. Reckeweg) is aimed at removing homotoxins from the body.

Three pillars of homotoxicology:

1. Detoxification and drainage
2. Immunomodulation
3. Cellular activation

Treatment: “advisable”, “possible” and “not worth it”

There are three basic rules that it is advisable to follow when you get any colds.

• Fresh air and a temperature of 18-20C in the room (in this case, of course, the patient needs to dress warmly); Warm, dry air causes mucus to dry out, turning it from a vital protective factor into a glue that interferes with breathing. Frequent wet cleaning and ventilation are very desirable; heaters are very undesirable.
• Drink plenty of fluids. With elevated temperatures, breathing through the mouth and sweating, fluid is lost very intensively. This can lead to the same increased viscosity of mucus, as well as increased blood viscosity, and therefore to difficulty in circulation. You can drink both plain and mineral water, tea, compotes, juices.
• The food should be light, you should only eat if you have an appetite.

Notice the word “desirable.” This means that if you are horrified by the very thought of an open window, or if, despite a fever, you have a voracious appetite for cutlets, it is wiser to listen to yourself, and not to general recommendations. “Common people” are not found in nature; there are individual people, and, moreover, very different ones. Hence: it is advisable that you pay attention to what you want and trust your inner instinct. Below it will be clear why this is so important.

Now about what you can do.

You can use those naturopathic remedies that helped you before (just be careful with aloe, because in women sensitive to this plant it can cause a rush of blood to the female organs). Honey, propolis, chlorophyllipt, rinsing with a solution of sea salt, onion and beetroot drops in the nose are completely acceptable during pregnancy. You can use the drug Viferon. Well-known obstetrician Tamara Sadovaya recommends Viferon ointment to prevent infection (lubricate the nasal mucosa once a day before leaving the house). From the 28th week of pregnancy, you can use Viferon-1 suppositories, twice a day with a break of 12 hours (after consulting with your doctor).

For a runny nose, you can use nasal drops based on homeopathic medicines, one of them is “Euphorbium compositum spray” (inject into each nostril 3-4 times a day). You can use vasoconstrictor drops in the nose several times (if breathing is completely unbearable and nothing else helps), for example, tizin. If the temperature is very high or you can’t tolerate it very well, you can drink an infusion of black elderberry flowers (pure or half with peppermint). You can take a minimum dose (0.125 - 0.5 g) of paracetamol.

Finally, about what not to do. At least we wouldn't recommend it.

• If you are sick, you should not go to crowded places - out of love for humanity, because others, including pregnant women, may get sick.
• You should not think about terminating your pregnancy for fear that the flu will harm the baby - the danger of influenza infection for the baby, even in the early stages, is greatly exaggerated.
• You should not take any pills without talking to a doctor you trust and who knows the dos and don'ts of pregnancy.
• Remember: aspirin and antibiotics are contraindicated for the flu!
• You should not steam your legs, especially in the early stages of pregnancy (as this causes a rush of blood to the female genital organs).
• You should not blindly do on yourself everything that helped your neighbor.

With this we will end the sad but necessary part of our story. You should enjoy life, especially during pregnancy. By the way, this is one of the main points on which our health is based. Therefore, we will offer you another weapon against colds - one that does not interfere with enjoying life: portable, easy to use and very powerful. Everything is in the spirit of modernity.

Characteristics of homeopathic remedies for colds

A distinctive feature of homeopathic remedies for colds is that they do not affect the virus, but stimulate the body’s defenses to fight it. They help improve the functioning of the immune system without overloading the already weakened child’s body. This effect is due to the fact that only natural ingredients are used for the manufacture of homeopathic medicines:

• Different parts of plants - roots, stems, branches, flowers, fruits;
• Wood resins;
• Algae extracts;
• Acids (organic and inorganic);
• Mountain minerals and salts;
• Components of animal origin (tissues, organs and secretions of animals, birds, fish);
• Mollusk tissues and shells;
• Poison of reptiles, bees and insects.

These components are used to make extracts, granules and ointments. The pharmacological reference book (which lists only those medicines that have passed all the necessary clinical studies) contains about 3 thousand homeopathic medicines that are used in the treatment of colds.

Homeopathy is widely used to treat colds in adults (including the elderly and nursing and pregnant women) and children. This prevalence is explained by the fact that these drugs are non-toxic, do not cause allergic reactions (with the exception of rare individual reactions to some components), are not addictive, do not destroy the intestinal microflora, do not affect the functioning of the liver and kidneys, do not provoke irritation, do not leave There is a feeling of bitterness and an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth.

Their effect on the child’s body is as follows:

• They help improve immunity;
• Positively affect the blood circulation process;
• Reduce inflammatory processes;
• Help relieve swelling of the respiratory tract;
• Helps restore the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract;
• Prevents the development of pathological complications.

In addition, homeopathic medicines are used not only for treatment, but also for the prevention of colds, including flu. In the autumn-winter period, such diseases become extremely common, and children are especially vulnerable. This is explained by hypothermia, lack of sun (ultraviolet light can destroy harmful bacteria), high humidity, vitamin deficiency and depressed mood due to cold and precipitation.

Homeopathic medicines help the child’s immune system to respond better and destroy the disease on its own. This mechanism is based on the principle of similarity. This means that homeopathic medicines do not contain those components that suppress symptoms, but, on the contrary, should provoke them. The dosage is so minimal that it does not harm the body, but, on the contrary, stimulates it.

Why homeopathy?

So, we offer homeopathy as a weapon against colds and flu. For two reasons.

1. The first reason is security. Whatever you say, everyone knows that using “chemical” tablets and drops during pregnancy is extremely undesirable. Therefore, any reliable method of treatment that allows you to do without them should be welcomed. Homeopathic medicines are completely harmless. In the worst case, they won’t help, that is, nothing will happen.
2. The second reason is that these medications can be easily learned to use at home, long before visiting a doctor. Then, if you use the medicine correctly, the need for such a visit may disappear. But if it doesn’t fall away, in this case you can’t do any harm. After all, rare lucky people can see a doctor in the very first hours of illness.

How is homeopathy prescribed?

Prescribing a homeopathic medicine is simple - because the prescription is very logical. For example, it is very difficult to prescribe a rinse with chamomile infusion or mustard plasters so as to know for sure that they will help you. How to find out, using what tool? After all, all people are different...

In homeopathy there is such an accurate tool, this is the law of similarity (the only law in such an inexact science as medicine). The essence of this law is that if the picture of your disease is very similar to the picture corresponding to the medicine, then it will cure you. These pictures were obtained from life and rechecked thousands of times. Below they are summarized so that you can use them at home. For example, if when you have a cold you feel as if you have inhaled the “vapors” of chopped onions, then the drug Allium flail, which is prepared from these same onions, will help you.

What is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is the most gentle treatment system, which was invented in 1790 by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann.

Homeopathic medicines consist of the following natural ingredients:

Once in the blood, homeopathic medicines instantly act on the body. They do not participate in metabolism and do not accumulate in the body, like synthetic drugs. Treatment with homeopathic remedies consists of an immunostimulating and antiviral effect on the body.

Homeopathy combines well with other medicines, even antibiotics, promoting a speedy recovery. Homeopathic remedies are especially often prescribed to children prone to frequent colds.

Homeopathy for children against colds

For colds in children, the following homeopathic medicines are most often prescribed:

• Aconite;

• Oscillococcinum;
• Gelsemium;

Aconite has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antiviral and analgesic effects. For colds, two or three grains of the drug are diluted in half a glass of water and given to the baby a sip throughout the day. At the first signs of recovery, the frequency of administration is reduced. For infants, drops of medicine are added to the water and given to them through a pacifier.

Allium flail is made from onions. The medicine treats diseases of the upper respiratory tract and relieves headaches. Allium flail is effective in the initial stages of the development of colds in children, when a runny nose and irritation around the nose appear. This remedy helps normalize nasal breathing. Children take one granule three times a day.

Aflubin is prescribed in the initial stages of a cold. This medicine strengthens the body's defenses and destroys infectious agents in a short period of time. Aflubin is taken at the first sign of a cold half an hour before meals. The drops are kept in the mouth for twenty seconds, after which they are swallowed. For infants, one drop is diluted in one teaspoon of water.

Oscillococcinum fights all symptoms of colds. This homeopathic remedy contains lactose, Muscovy duck liver extract and sugar.

When treating colds in children, one dose of the drug should be dissolved in five hundred milliliters of warm water and given to drink from a spoon. To achieve the best results, the drug should be taken at the first symptoms of a cold. Oscillococcinum is also used for preventive purposes.

For colds characterized by headache, high fever and muscle aches, the use of Gelsemium has a great effect. This homeopathic remedy is prepared from the fresh root of a plant called Gelsemium. For children to take, two grains are diluted in one hundred milliliters of water and given a sip throughout the day.

For long-term colds accompanied by thick yellow nasal discharge, Pulsatilla is used. This homeopathic medicine, created on the basis of the herb lumbago, is available in the form of granules. The dosage is determined individually for each baby.

A reliable remedy for fighting colds is Natrium muriaticum. This drug is prescribed for severe runny nose, which is accompanied by sneezing and nasal congestion. Natrium muriaticum is taken in diluted form in accordance with the doctor’s recommendations.

If, due to hypothermia, the baby develops mucous or watery discharge from the nose, you can use Nux vomica. The drug is also prescribed for the treatment of influenza accompanied by cough.

In addition to the remedies presented, the following homeopathic preparations are used to treat colds in children:

• Belladonna;
• Bryony;
• Arsenicum album;
• Hamomilla;
• Euphrasia;
• Sabadilla;
• Sambucus;

According to homeopaths, a cold

in children it should go away on its own.
The body itself rids itself of toxins through secretions. But this healing process can be helped by correctly chosen homeopathic treatment
.

Are there any contraindications for homeopathy for children?

There are no special contraindications to the use of homeopathy for children. It can be used from birth.

Currently, homeopathic medicines are prepared in dosages that do not cause side effects. The main thing is to use them correctly.

As practice shows, treating colds with homeopathy promotes rapid recovery, reduces susceptibility to viral infections and strengthens the immune system. In children, mental and physical performance increases, and appetite improves.

If your baby often gets colds, then he needs to take homeopathy courses twice a year. It is important to remember that self-treatment with homeopathic medicines can complicate the course of the disease. When prescribing these medications by a pediatrician, it is necessary to follow the treatment regimen. Don't risk your children's health!

Homeopathy is a good alternative to other medications that may cause some side effects. It is the harmlessness of homeopathic remedies for colds that is the main advantage of drugs of this pharmacological group. Such preparations, made on the basis of natural ingredients, are especially indicated for use by anyone who has a tendency to frequent colds.

This treatment also has a drawback - the duration of use of homeopathic remedies.

If you take them as a preventive measure, you can significantly improve the functioning of the respiratory system and the entire body as a whole. After some time, after regular use of the medicine, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, tonsils and adenoids is relieved, their size is reduced, and blood circulation is improved.

If you take medications of this pharmacological group during the acute period of a cold, you can enhance the process of cleansing the body of pathogenic microorganisms that cause the disease, and it also becomes possible to prevent the development of dangerous complications.

Cold “portraits”

You don’t have to be extremely observant to notice that all people get sick differently. Even if the disease is caused by the same virus. The symptoms of a disease directly indicate: to the patient what he should do, and to the doctor what medicine to prescribe. Vivid and unusual symptoms are especially valuable for homeopathic use. That is why it is so important to listen to yourself and observe yourself. Let's try to write verbal portraits of people with colds and flu who need one or another homeopathic medicine. We will call very important and unusual symptoms key and will highlight them both in the text and at the end so that you remember better.

Important: it is not at all necessary that all symptoms be present; three are enough for you to have the right to use the medicine.

Camphor 30. The earliest stage of a cold (when there was actually hypothermia). Chills, unable to warm up. Even to the touch, the patient’s skin is cold as ice. Nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, frontal headache. Very often it “relieves” cold symptoms at their first appearance.

Homeopathic medicines for children for runny nose

The rapid development of medical technologies and the improvement of medicines do not give a complete feeling of safety in their use. Multiple side effects are pushing patients to look for natural alternatives. Most of them opt for homeopathy, which solves health problems without side effects.

Homeopathy aims to discover the causes of a disease and influence it using gentle but effective methods.

Homeopathy is a science based on the principle of “like cures like.” Modern medicine consists of highly specialized specialists who deal with specific diseases. Homeopathy, in turn, does not fight the disease, but is aimed at healing the body. After analyzing the problem, homeopaths try to discover the cause of the disease and influence it with a gentle but effective remedy.

Tablets with plant extract have a positive effect on the patient’s psyche, strengthen the immune system, having a beneficial effect on the entire body, thereby solving the problem with the disease. The highlight of science is to stimulate the body to heal itself.

An ideally selected drug helps achieve the following results:

mitigating the impact of the psychological factor on the course of the disease; improving the psychological state; improving well-being; helping recovery; elevating mood; increasing immunity; stimulating recovery.

Homeopathic medicines are used to treat various diseases. Experts prescribe medications against the common cold. Thanks to their medicinal properties, the products relieve symptoms of rhinitis and lead to complete recovery without irritation or dryness in the nasopharynx. The result of homeopathy is the disappearance of mucus and restoration of free breathing.

A homeopathic remedy for a runny nose is not immediate; it should be taken over a long period of time. Therefore, at the first symptoms of the disease, start using it. Homeopathy during a runny nose is applied in the form of drops every 15 minutes, in the first days of the disease for two hours. Subsequently, use according to the instructions.

The absence of side effects allows homeopathy to be used to treat children with a runny nose.

In modern medicine, homeopathic medicines are produced in the following forms:

drops; tablets; sprays.

A homeopathic remedy for a runny nose is prescribed personally for adults and children. It is necessary to take into account the patient’s age, his physical characteristics, the basis of the onset of the disease, duration, and degree of complexity. Homeopathic remedies for the common cold are classified into four groups:

tablets for systemic use. Once in the stomach, they penetrate into the blood and act on the entire body; topical agents. Drops, ointments, sprays; preparations for complex use; preparations for allergic reactions.

The highlight of homeopathy - “we remove like with like” - works when treating a runny nose. Analyzing the patients’ conditions, the following drugs are prescribed:

Allium flail. It is used at the onset of the disease, accompanied by constant sneezing and copious watery discharge. Arsenicum album. used during the period when the disease enters the main stage. When sneezing, mucus is released, the discharge is liquid, and your health worsens. Dulcamara. Suitable for dry congestion, thick discharge that forms dry crusts. Gelsemium. Characteristic signs for prescribing the drug: swelling of the nasal sinuses, headaches, fever, watery discharge, there is congestion at the base of the nasal cavity. Hydrastis is prescribed for slippery discharge, it is difficult to blow out, you have to often blow your nose. Kalium. Prescribed for thick, green, foul-smelling discharge. The nose is stuffy, breathing is difficult. Pulsatilla. Used for partial congestion of the nasal passages (blocked one by one). There is no sense of smell, at night the swelling interferes with breathing, during the day it goes away, and yellow mucus flows from the nose. Sabadilla. Indispensable for colds accompanied by strong, liquid mucus. Thuja. Thuja oil is used when the nasal mucosa dries out, to prevent cracking and crusting. May cause allergic reactions.

Homeopathy for the common cold for children has its own characteristics. With a large selection of medications, homeopathy is more readily used in the treatment of children. For children, the herbal component is the optimal treatment option, especially in the early stages of the disease, according to experts. Homeopathy is non-addictive, safe and contains herbal ingredients.

The right drug, the correct dosage, strict adherence to the drug regimen is the main point in the treatment of a child. A homeopathic doctor will prescribe and calculate the dosage after examining the patient. The immunity of children is weaker than adults, so the choice of homeopathic remedies requires a serious approach. Homeopathy has a complex composition. Treatment of the disease and accompanying symptoms consists of the antiviral, immunostimulating effect of the components on the entire body.

Parents should know that it will not be possible to calculate the correct dosage without the help of a specialist. Using medications at your own risk will cause harm, not recovery.

As a rule, runny noses in children are treated with remedies that include onion juice, pulsatilla, and yellow jasmine.

Corysalia for the common cold is effective for symptoms of sinusitis. The appearance of a runny nose, severe swelling of the mucous membrane, sneezing are symptoms for which you can already start taking Corizalia. The form of medicine production is tablets. One tablet of the drug contains the following composition:

alium; sabadilla; gelsemium; beladonna; pulsatilla; kalium.

The only contraindication for taking homeopathy is the age of the child; it is prescribed for children over two years of age.

There are hundreds of times fewer side effects from homeopathy than from treatment with pharmacological agents. Nevertheless, they exist, it is worth paying attention to them in order to prevent their expression. Typically, side effects occur after three or more weeks of taking the medication, but they can also occur after the first use. Exacerbation of symptoms is not always a mandatory symptom of effective therapy; it is worth paying attention to the manifestations of enhanced symptoms.

There are three types of side effects:

Poisonous. Lead, snake venom, and mercuric chloride contained in medications, even in small quantities, can have a toxic effect with prolonged use. Allergic. Any plant component causes a reaction in patients prone to allergies. Pathogenicity. Uncontrolled use of a drug over a long period can provoke an increase in the symptoms of the disease, which the specific drug was aimed at eliminating.

The slightest occurrence of one of the three signs requires:

changing the dosage; revising the frequency of dosing; stopping taking the drug.

Signs of exacerbation disappear over time.

A stuffy nose and snot are, at first glance, a simple disease. Lack of treatment and incorrectly selected medications can worsen the situation. Do not make a decision on your own; your doctor can advise and prescribe medications according to the individual symptoms.

Homeopathy is a scientific method of treatment that is an alternative to traditional medicine. Homeopathy is based on the principle of restoring the self-regulation of the human body through treatment using the similarity method through the use of special drugs in very small doses. Its goal is to make a person as healthy as nature originally intended. Homeopathy helps people heal from chronic diseases that plague them by increasing their vitality. It is also effective for colds and runny nose (rhinitis). Homeopathy for the common cold for children and adults is used widely and effectively.

The raw materials for the drug are:

natural minerals; vegetation; substances of the animal world; insects; disease agents of the human body.

These products are processed accordingly and do not pose any danger to the human body.

The use of drugs is prescribed purely individually. The doctor selects a special program for each person, taking into account his physical condition, age and other characteristics. More often they are taken once in the form of tablets by dissolving under the tongue. If a person is weak, has chronic diseases and is forced to take medications, then the regimen and form of administration will be different. It would be more advisable to treat in this case with the drug in solution and at the same time pursue the goal of avoiding the use of medications if possible.

Restoration of the body through the use of homeopathic medicines occurs differently for each person. For some this process takes months, for others it takes a year or several years. A sign of healing and restoration of the body will be a surge of strength and resistance to stress.

Homeopathy for the common cold involves remedies for oral and nasal use in the form of drops and sprays. The first ones proved to be much more effective.

From birth, a person is endowed with a certain substance called vital force. In each individual it is expressed to a greater or lesser extent and is inherent in him until death. Human immunity and temperament depend on it, and in case of illness this force is affected first. It has three levels - mental, emotional and physical. Traditional medicine treats only the physical level, homeopathy treats all levels in combination.

Its treatment principle is as follows:

To get rid of an illness, you need to act on the vital force at various levels - molecular, discrete, electromagnetic, radiation - and cause the syndrome of the disease for which you are treating. To do this, the medicine used must act at the same level as the disease. To achieve this effect, it is necessary to give the drug an appropriate impulse and make it dynamic. This is achieved through physical action on it - shaking, rubbing, diluting. After the completed action, the molecular bonds in the drug are broken, as a result of which its material part decreases. This process is accompanied by the release of energy, which passes from the material part of the medicine into its vital force (for example, into a solution). In solution, it attaches to spatial water molecules (clusters). Water is a powerful store of information. This is exactly how it is perceived by the human body through its nerve endings with a further change in its vitality.

How to understand that the drug has had a healing effect:

The medicine has a resonant effect. If it is chosen correctly, then soon after the start of use a primary exacerbation of symptoms occurs, and a little later a secondary exacerbation occurs. This is nothing more than a postulate of quantum physics expressed in Hering's law. It says: “Healing occurs from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, from the more important organs to the less important.” In other words, in the reverse order of the onset of symptoms. Primary exacerbation is expressed in the appearance of a rash on the skin, its redness, and the appearance of various discharges. A secondary exacerbation appears after some time in the form of the same symptoms. After this, as a rule, vital energy levels are restored. The nervous system is restored first - the person becomes calmer and stronger.

If the medicine is chosen incorrectly, the symptom “antigering” occurs. The manifestation of symptoms shifts inside the body, and the external manifestations of this are increased excitability in a person, insomnia, and anxiety. This can be observed especially clearly in people weakened by the disease.

Official medicine does not recognize homeopathy as a science, considering it a placebo-like therapy. In other words, its therapeutic effect is based only on the patient’s fanatical faith in healing. And her methods of help are no more than from ingesting crushed chalk.

Be that as it may, there are more and more adherents of homeopathy. The increase in her fans indicates the popularity and therapeutic effectiveness of homeopathy.
