Oh The Relief With Homeopathic Cold Remedies

By Jason Graham


Do you want a safe, natural alternative to chemical cold formulas? Homeopathic cold remedies are time-tested, having been used by hundreds of millions of people since their introduction in the late 1800s. They contain minute amounts of natural substances, diluted in a special way to retain potency while being so reduced that there is no toxicity whatsoever. Their popularity testifies to their efficacy.

Homeopathy was a major form of medicine before the discovery of penicillin and the development of pharmaceuticals. Probably only herbal teas and topicals are older. Many people still use the remedies today. In the USA, all homeopathic formulas are regulated by the Federal Drug Administration. Based on the theory that 'like cures like', homeopathy prescribes, for example, the essence of onion (allium) for symptoms that the thing itself causes: runny nose, watering eyes.

Another key to the efficacy of the remedies, as the preparations are called, is that the amount of active ingredient in each one is truly minute. In fact, the amount of an herb, a mineral, or any other substance in a tablet might not be observable under a microscope. This leads many to deny any benefit to this kind of therapy. Millions around the world beg to differ, however, including members of royalty, doctors and chiropractors, and athletes.

Finally, the practitioners and manufacturers of homeopathic remedies truly follow the principle of 'do no harm' while treating a patient. The remedies in an over-the-counter potency are safe for everyone to use. They are even effective for animals, which refutes the 'placebo effect' criticism of many scoffers.

Tissue salts are made from milk sugar and minerals found in human tissue. These are safe even for young children, and many parents wouldn't dream of giving their children ibuprofen, known to have the potential to harm internal organs. Ferr phos keeps a fever under control, while allowing the rise in internal temperature to function as an infection fighter.

Nat mur, another tissue salt, regulates water in the body and is used for runny noses. It also can help with dehydration, a worry for parents of young children who may not eat or drink readily when ill. Kali phos is another; among other things, it is often used for coughs and seems to be able to deflect croup from becoming severe. It's always worth trying natural alternatives before resorting to something that may have dangerous side effects, like ibuprofen.

Almost every pharmacy and grocery store now has some homeopathic cold formulas on their shelves. There are formulas for infants on up to senior citizens. Homeopathy comes in tablets, called 'pellets' in the trade, in liquids, and in lozenges. Another part of the philosophy of this branch of medicine is that a minute amount of a substance, properly prepared, is more potent than a large amount in bringing about recovery.

Try one of these safe, effective remedies and open up the whole world of homeopathy for the health of your family. This is a great way to get through the winter - and those dreaded summer colds - more easily than you might expect.
