During the wintertime, we are more prone to common colds. Homeopathic remedies could gently and naturally support body fighting from them.
The most often cause of the common cold is the rhinovirus, although it can be caused by more than 200 virus species. These viruses are easily spread from person to person by air droplets. During the winter period, when we gather indoors, it is especially easy.
Once we are exposed to a cold-causing virus, cold symptoms appear gradually, typically for 1 to 3 days. A cold is one of the most well-known forms of upper respiratory infection. Head, nose, and throat can be affected. So, symptoms usually are runny, stuffy nose, sneezing, sinusitis, also cough, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, headache, and elevated temperature.
Symptoms of a cold typically last for 7 to 10 days, the peak should be around day 5 and then recovery gradually takes a place. Medical treatment of the common cold includes decongestants- to help ease nasal congestion and stuffiness, antipyretics- to lower the temperature, and pain relievers to help with body aches and signs of inflammation. Those medications sometimes can cause side effects. The most common reactions are dizziness, dehydration, dry mouth, drowsiness, nausea, and headache.
The usage of homeopathic remedies can support the immune system to easy recovery from a cold. In an attempt to help, the homeopath approaches the person as a whole. This means that the picture of the chosen homeopathic remedy should match all physical symptoms, as well as the person’s mental state. Homeopathic treatments are highly diluted substances and are not likely to cause any side effects.
