The common cold affects all of us! Colds are different to influenza (‘flu) as the symptoms are milder and often short lived. I like to call ‘flu the ‘£50 note disease’. When you suffer with ‘flu, you crawl from your bed to the bathroom and if there was a £50 note on the floor, you wouldn’t stop to pick it up as you don’t have the energy!
There are things you can do to support your immune system to fight off colds quicker and to make sure you are less susceptible to suffering in the first place. Colds and ‘flu are caused by viruses but this doesn’t mean you are helpless when facing them.
Homeopathy can play an important role in lessening your symptoms, which can be helpful especially for children, who may be too young for certain conventional medicines. Homeopathy can also play a role in decreasing your susceptibility to colds and ‘flu in the long term.
My Health Conditions Library covers a lot of ground, and that’s because my view of health goes a bit beyond the standard definition.
For me, homeopathic health isn’t simply about the absence of illness. It’s about your Vital Force, that inner energy that keeps you functioning, being strong and steady. It’s about having solid foundations that you actually look after.
I don’t think of good health as being free of illness.
I think of it as being able to cope when you do, and recover without it flooring you. I know this from my own experience; I’ve been a homeopathic patient for years, and the small things that used to drag me down just don’t have the same grip anymore. And when something does come up, I’ve got something to turn to.
