“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
When we head into winter, we may be more likely to catch a common cold or flu as it’s the perfect storm for viruses to hitch a ride and invade. Common colds and flu are the main reasons that children miss school and adults miss work. Sometimes, the symptoms are mild and sometimes they knock us off of our feet for several days.
Until the age of five or six years old, children get between six to eight colds a year, then it becomes apparent that most little ones can spend a lot of time with a runny nose and feeling under the weather.
Homeopathic medicines are excellent natural remedies to keep stocked for cold and flu season. Homeopathy is a safe, effective, and innocuous system of medicine that in most cases, can be given with little to no interference with other pharmaceutical medications; a large majority can also be given to children of most ages.
Homeopathy can help to shorten the duration and severity of your cold symptoms as well as improve how you feel during the process. In homeopathy, there are several medicines used for flu based on the physical and mental condition of the patient. That is why homeopathy treats the individuals and not the diagnosis. It is advised to take medicines at the first sign of a cold. Consider a safe, effective homeopathic remedy for the cold before you reach for over-the-counter decongestants. Homeopathic treatment helps to fortify the immune system, thus prevents from regular cold symptoms.
