This week I am travelling and will keep this brief. Short and to the point, but very useful. Who knows, you might even take my advice in the next few days.
First I would like to point out that over the years I have prescribed many, many remedies for colds and coughs and had resigned myself to the fact that there is no miracle cure for treating a winter infection. After all, so many factors go into remedy selection in homeopathy – the weather, the symptoms of the illness (you know: the nature of the fever and the cough, does the patient feel weak or not…?), the patient’s emotional state, and so on.
Times have changed and nowadays I prefer simple, straightforward approaches. That means: quick, reliable and direct results.
In that spirit, here are my recommendations for coughs and colds this season.
Let me begin with a homeopathic remedy from the company Boiron. Oscillococcinum is a wonderful remedy for prophylaxis and should ideally be taken before the first signs of a cold. It is available in pharmacies or online.
For a few years now I have increasingly worked with the Banerji protocols, which I always like to pass on to my students and clients. The recommendations of Drs Banerji have never let me down; here are their recommendations on the subject of colds:
Bryonia C200 in combination with Aconitum 200.
“In combination” means that you place 2–3 globules of one remedy on the tongue, carefully reseal the remedy bottle, then place 2–3 globules of the other remedy on the tongue. Allow the globules to dissolve. That’s how a “homemade complex remedy” works.
Take one dose every six hours following this schedule. The more severe the cold, the more frequently the remedy may be taken.
My experience with this method is unbeatable; time and again I have been convinced of its effectiveness.
Really always? No.
In most cases? Yes.
That’s how it is. Take my recommendations and best wishes into the New Year and pass them on. Your corner of the world, your family, friends and acquaintances will thank you.
With best regards
Yours, Joette
