Gotta cold?

Hello hello!  I feel like I'm just re-surging and joining life again!  Not that I was gone long...just a short few days to get over a cold and recharge.  Getting sick is not something I do very well. I either ignore it or act like I have 'man flu'. Yeah... I kinda suck at it.  
I thought I'd just do a quick blog on 2 remedies that are traditionally used in Homeopathy for the common cold!  We don't hear much about that sneezy little watery eyed monster.  Usually we hear about the flu or other nastier viruses but the common cold is a very common (cue laughter) problem!

So the remedy I required was Euphrasia.  If you've been exposed to homeopathic first aid then this one will often come up for conjunctivitis.  But if you have runny eyes with an equally runny nose Euphrasia may be of some help to you!  I was waking with a bit of gunk in my eyes and they were a bit itchy.  There was a lot of clear snot (yes I know I know but there is a point to the over sharing) but it wasn't burning my nose. (Euphrasia is a Homeopathic medicine traditionally used for the symptoms of a common cold and the symptoms similar to conjunctivitis).
Gavin came down with a cold too but his wasn't as bad as mine (haha sorry honey!)!  On the surface we had the same virus.  Both started with a mild sore throat and a bit of sneezing then a progressively stuffier nose.  However he had burning eyes.  It was such a marked symptom that I suggested Allium Cepa for him.  This is another note worthy remedy for the common cold.  Very similar to Euphrasia with copious amounts of clear snot but the eyes will burn and the nose will smart because the discharge burns (the term is acrid in the books).  I find this a nice easy distinction between the 2.  Oh and allium cepa is onion...remember how horrid cutting an onion can be?  Yep Gavin had an onion cold! (Allium cepa is a Homeopathic medicine traditionally used to help support the body with the symptoms of the common cold).

These aren't the only 2 remedies by a long shot but they are 2 that I use frequently for common colds.
Here's to a healthy end of winter!  Stay well!
