    Common Cold (Homeopathy)

    Options for utilizing homeopathics for cold and flu symptoms

    Arsenicum album

    A person who has frequent colds, sore throats, and chest problems—with burning pain and feelings of weakness, restlessness, and anxiety—may benefit from this remedy. The person's head may feel hot while the rest of the body is cold, and problems can be worse near midnight. The nose often feels stopped up, and the person may sneeze repeatedly, without relief. White, thick, burning mucus may be produced.

    Belladonna

    This remedy relieves high fever of sudden onset with sweating.

    Euphrasia

    Red, watery, irritated eyes, frequent sneezing, and a mild, clear nasal discharge suggests a need for this remedy. The person may cough from irritation and from phlegm collecting in the throat. Symptoms can be worse at night, and the person tends to feel better from eating and lying down.

    Natrum muriaticum

    Colds with clear nasal discharge like egg-white, sneezing (which is often worse in the morning), headache, and a diminished sense of smell or taste may respond to this remedy. The person may develop cold sores around the mouth, and the lips can be chapped and cracked.

    Nux vomica

    This relieves spasmodic sneezing in the morning, with a dry nose during the night.

    Pulsatilla

    This remedy relieves non-irritant yellowish nasal discharge with a dry nose at night that becomes runny during the day, and loss of smell and taste.

    Other Remedies

    Aconitum napellus

    This remedy relieves high fever of sudden onset, with a hot face and dry skin, especially after exposure to intense cold.

    Allium cepa

    This relieves spasmodic sneezing and runny nose with an irritating, watery discharge, improved by fresh air.

    Baryta carbonica

    This remedy is indicated for people who frequently catch colds from getting chilled. A runny nose and swollen upper lip, swollen lymph nodes, tonsils, and adenoids are typical symptoms. This remedy is often helpful to children who are bashful and slow to develop.

    Dulcamara

    When a person comes down with a cold after getting wet and chilled, or if colds come on when the weather changes, this remedy should come to mind. A stopped-up nose and face pain are likely. A person who needs Dulcamara also tends to have allergies.

    Ferrum phosphoricum

    This remedy relieves low-grade fever with weakness and tendency to nosebleeds and earaches.

    Gelsemium

    Lethargy and aching, with headache and droopy eyes, often indicate this remedy. Fever and chills run up and down the spine, and heat or pressure may be felt in the face and nose. A person who needs Gelsemium often trembles and is shaky, or feels extremely dull. This remedy is often helpful for colds that come on in hot weather.

    Hydrastis canadensis

    This remedy relieves thick nasal discharge that irritates the throat.

    Kali bichromicum

    This helps relieve thick, greenish, irritating nasal discharge.

    Kali iodatum

    This remedy relieves runny nose with acrid watery discharge, with pain at the base of the nose.

    Kali muriaticum

    This helps relieve ear congestion with cracking sounds in the ear, worsened by the change in pressure.

    Mercurius solubilis

    A person who needs this remedy is extremely sensitive to temperatures, and experiences night sweats and drooling during sleep. Swollen lymph nodes and bad breath are other indications. The person's nose may feel raw, and the tonsils or ears often become infected.

    Phosphorus

    A person whose colds go easily to the chest often responds to this remedy. One nostril may be blocked while the other runs. Hoarseness, laryngitis, and nosebleeds are other likely symptoms. The person often is thirsty for cold drinks and feels better from massage. People who need this remedy often feel weak, "spaced out," and anxious or fearful when ill.

    Rhus toxicodendron

    If a cold begins with stiffness and body aches, especially during cool damp weather or weather changes, and leads to nasal congestion or sore throat, this remedy should come to mind. The person feels extremely restless and often paces or fidget. Warmth and motion bring relief, both physically and mentally.

    Sulphur iodatum

    This remedy relieves lingering symptoms (cough, nasal congestion) after a severe cold or flu.

  • Ep. 219 - A Mindful Approach to Social Issues with Rhonda Magee

    "We have so much capacity to meet the challenges of our time with strength and wisdom," says Rhonda Magee, law professor and author of The Inner Work of Racial Justice. Despite growing up as a black woman in America during the civil rights era, Rhonda was always awed by her grandmother's ability to remain optimistic in the face of adversity. Inspired by her grandmother's spirit, Rhonda began to implement similar practices into her own life, including mindfulness. As a law professor and author, Rhonda uses the practice of mindfulness to challenge the system and provide solutions on how to tackle social issues.

    According to Rhonda, in a society where bias, racism, and systemic injustices are deeply ingrained, healing is a continuous process. Because conflict causes mass division, most people's instincts are to find safety among people who are similar and place the blame on others. In her book, Rhonda highlights inner work as an essential component to problem solving. Through the practice of mindfulness, Rhonda explains that we are able to increase our emotional intelligence and recognize our own biases because we are given space to be attentive to our thoughts and feelings. After we have dismantled our own barriers, we can heal generational traumas and connect with people of all backgrounds.

    Tune into this week's episode of Beyond the Basics Health Academy to understand why Rhonda Magee believes mindfulness is the roadmap to a more peaceful world. Learn how to implement daily doses of mindfulness in order to calm your fears and allow you to exercise the highest level of compassion towards yourself and others.

    Quotes

    • "We don't want to take all our biases about what we know into the world because learning opportunities are great opportunities to integrate what we know with what others know." (13:46-13:59)

    • "When we talk about race and racism, the traditional way of learning just bombards us with data, history, statistics, new words and concepts. It's important to have this information and it's important to think about the scholarly ways in which these ideas have been articulated. All those analyses are important to encounter and grapple with, but we're social and emotional and relational human beings in learning spaces." (14:43-15:27)

    • "All of this effort to understand race and racism and to understand any of our challenges is strengthened by being grounded." (20:55-21:05)

    • "Mindfulness is inviting this ability of growing up into the kinds of human beings who can face our fears, look beneath the rage and create some space and deeper capacity to navigate waters that are choppy." (35:13-35:44)

    • "We can resolve our conflicts without violence, but we have to agree to bring some kind of mindfulness to the processes by which we participate in the systems." (36:36-36:49)

    • "We have so much capacity to meet the challenges of our time with strength and wisdom." (43:03-43:10)
