Autumn

Autumn has arrived and with it comes that time that our body may need some extra care. Some people have their symptoms improved with the cold whereas others have them aggravated, hence if you are one of the latter I have great information about some homeopathic remedies that might become fruitful for you during the cold season.

Aconite: This remedy is beneficial at the very onset of cold and flu, particularly if the symptoms come on suddenly after exposure to cold and dry winds. It also helps with sudden anxiety that is associated to seasonal changes.

Gelsemium: Number one remedy for flu-like symptoms, but contrary to Aconite the symptoms come on slowly. Some other key notes to look for are fatigue, heaviness in the head and particularly in the limbs. Gelsemium is also helpful with brain fog and lacking focus.

Pulsatilla: Excellent for people who become emotionally sensitive and tearful with the change of season. In relation to cold it is a good remedy for colds that presents with thick, yellow-green discharge.

Natrum Muriaticum: Like pulsatilla also helpful for people who struggle emotionally with seasonal changes, but rather than tearful is more towards feelings of sadness or mild depression as the daylight hours dimmish and they feel low or anguish as soon as the day starts to get dark.
