Respiratory Fitness with Homeopathics

Respiratory Fitness with Homeopathics

We are in the last couple of months of the cold/flu season (Oct-Apr). Since the appearance of Covid three years ago, and then the variants of all kinds, there have been many strange symptoms happening in my community. Most of these are not life-threatening, but they can make a person miserable! Complaints of low-grade fever, headache, sore throat, nausea, sinus infections, wheezing, cough and other flu-like symptoms are common.
 

Over the counter and prescription drugs can cover up the symptoms, which can help a person feel more comfortable, temporarily, but it doesn’t cure the ailment and can sometimes drive the illness deeper, taking longer to resolve and increase the possibility of recurrence. 

 

With homeopathy, there is more flexibility. Since there are many remedies that can be matched to the specific symptoms and then stimulate the body to heal itself, it shortens the duration and reduces the intensity of the symptoms. Homeopathy works on a functional basis, not a symptom basis, which means it may also be able to prevent future illness as the immune system is restored quicker.
 

I am amazed when the solution to a seemingly complex situation can be so simple. A complaint of headache, nausea, diarrhea and fever can be resolved with one homeopathic remedy: Nux Vomica 30C taken every 15 minutes for an hour. We often see a marked reduction in symptoms within the first 20 minutes.

 

RSV (which is a fancy name for the common cold virus) made it’s way into the headlines this year. There is no specific allopathic medicine to treat RSV. The best they have to offer is supportive therapy, such as: suction, oxygen, IV fluids and mechanical ventilation, if severe. 

 

Homeopathy offers three excellent remedies: 

  1. Antimonium Tartaricum 9C or 30C for the thick mucous and asthma
  2. Blatta Orientalis 6C or 15C – for mucous in the chest, dust mite allergies, asthma and bronchitis.
  3. Ipecac 6C or 9C – for the hard cough that results in vomiting and asthma, bronchitis.



In the office, I am so glad to have a way of non-invasive scanning that gives me a foundation to work off of homeopathically. I've used this computerized system for many years for both acute and chronic care. It is very reliable because we are interviewing the body and it loves to tell us what it needs!

I love homeopathy and believe it’s the most magical medicine on the planet. I’ve had experiences with homeopathy that I can only describe as miraculous. Like the time I had a splitting headache, lying on my bed for four hours with ice packs on my head, when my husband came into the bedroom and asked me what I would tell a client if they came to me with the same symptoms. He brought in my little homeopathic guidebook and I found a remedy that matched my symptoms. Within 10 minutes I was pain-free and making dinner. Don’t believe it when you’re told there’s nothing to homeopathy–it is powerful, safe, non-toxic, non-habit forming, and effective medicine for all ages! Here are a few of the remedies that I keep on hand, for common accidents and incidents that we use in our daily lives. You can pick them up at your local health food store or online through my Fullscript dispensary . I recommend homeopathy to everyone and hope you’ll take some time to learn its wonders! Ac onitum Napellus – I use this at the first sign of even a twinge of a sore throat - especially if I have been outside in a cold wind. You can use it for children who have a croupy cough. One or two doses of Aconitum and they will be back to sleep. It can also be used for a shock or fright – like when the burglar alarm goes off in the middle of the night! A rnica Montana – Almost without exception, when someone in our family has any kind of an accident or injury, I turn to Arnica. It’s in my purse. When my husband would get a bump or bruise in any of the many gardening and construction projects around the house, a couple of doses of Arnica worked miraculously. This is the remedy I used in a 200C dilution for my splitting headache (above). Cantharis Vesicatoria – This remedy is used for skin burns, whether it’s taking a pan out of the oven or getting too close to the barbecue, Cantharis is my go-to. Take a couple of doses ASAP and almost never get a blister nor get the burning pain that usually accompanies a burn. The body just starts healing and it does so quickly. It also helps if you’ve stayed out in the sun a little too long as well. Ig natia Amara – Life is not always a bed of roses. Our beloved pets pass on, we have arguments with loved-ones, we don’t make the team, or get the job we wanted. When those moments occur and we’re feeling weepy and sad, we take Ignatia. It’s also really useful if we’ve been sighing a lot. Arsenicu m Album – We love to travel and sometimes new and strange foods make our tummies unhappy. Last time I was on a business trip to Mexico, I stayed at a fancy resort, but still got “Traveler’s Diarrhea”. Good thing I had the Arsenicum with me! Don’t leave home without it! Nux V omica – This one has a permanent place in my purse. I use it anytime I’m feeling nauseous from low blood sugar or from something I ate that didn’t sit well with me. It can be used for vomiting from the flu or other illness. One or two doses and the body will settle down.
