It is quite easy! Homeopathic Aconite Napellus (Aconite) can stop colds, if taken for the very first symptoms of cold. Homeopaths recommend to take 1-2 tiny pills of Acon 12c every 15-20 minutes, 12 times. Same medicine is recommend also by others, but to take first just once Acon 6c, then after 15 minutes Acon 30c and after two hours once more Acon 30c. If one has tendency to get often colds then the third time could be Acon 200c, just once.

In order to stop the cold one has to take the medicine really immediately when one feels the first hints of getting cold, something in nose or a bit achy chilly feel in body or throat. One should not wait to finish the computer work or so.

I used to get colds all the time, until in 1996 I discovered that by taking Acon 30c and 200c, the cold symptoms always stopped totally. (In few cases I had to take once more 30 and 200). I was taking Acon this way for about 13 years with about 90% success. Usually when I didn’t succeed, it was because I didn’t notice enough early on the first symptoms of cold, or I didn’t have Acon with me, or I was doing some experimenting.

Others that I have recommended this method, have not been so successful, simply because most of them seem to not notice to take Acon enough early, or they forget it totally, or can’t find the medicine when needed. But those who have managed to take it at time have had equally successful experiences.

For stopping the cold one has to be alert, which is sometimes not so easy, so I also decided myself to start taking now Acon as a preventive medicine. I take Acon every couple of months during Autumn, Winter and Spring times regularly. Summer time I keep a little bit longer pause 3-4 months.

Last time I took Acon about two months ago as a preventive. Now again yesterday (without having any cold symptoms), I took Acon 30c once (in some case could take twice) and this morning Acon 200c. I got first some aggravation, a bit sore feeling in my throat and felt a bit chilly, but that was all I got. Now I don’t need to take Acon anymore and will be “immune” again to colds for couple of months.

I remember just few times during these five preventive years having got cold, due to forgetting to take Acon regularly every second month or so. Some people might not need it so often. I find it important to take also 200 potency as it works more on mental level and one has to get the tension down in order to avoid getting colds. Aconitum napellus;

Homepath Ellen Lanham Dart, D.H.M recommends besides Acon 12c, also a combination of Ars, Gels, Eupat 30. She also considers Anas barb 200 or Oscillococcinum alone when taken once a month to work as a preventive. I have no experience of these – for preventive purposes – as Acon 30-200 has worked so well for me. (I also think one should take at least once those in 200 potency, but) see more from her; http://www.susunweed.com/herbal_ezine/February08/empower.htm

The beginning of taking homeopathic preventive medicine can be a bit complicated for common people, especially if one has taken very acidic food for long time, drugs etc or has many cronic diseases, then one needs to really find a homeopath to test which homeopathic medicines help the best. Anyhow when the right medicine/s is found, then it will work for years.

Also when trying first time to take preventive medicine, or if one has had too many months between when taking preventive, one might actually get colds by taking Acon. Why? This can be explained that if one has too much lack of something – in this case it might be mostly iron (Acon contains lots of iron) – then homeopathic medicines can easily cause aggravations. (Sometimes I feel mineral iron, calcium etc also causes aggravations?). In this case if getting cold, just by taking lower potency of Acon couple of times, can still stop the cold.

It is very common in homeopathy to get aggravations and even some acute disease, like cold or diarhoea. Homeopaths don’t usually tell this while giving homeopathic medicines, because people would be easily too suspicious and worried to take any homeopathic medicines. I think it is time that people get to know about this, as the aggravations are nothing dangerous and can be easily overcome. They usually come when you are anyhow going to get that sooner or later. It is far more worse when people take allopathic medicines and those side effects will not go away. At least homeopathic medicines don’t cause any side effects.

Aggravation is actually a sign that the homeopathic medicine works, although it can be also sign that one needs still something else, or that one has taken too long time the same homeopathic medicine.

 

Now in case the cold has passed over the first symptoms into more deep stage, what to do? One well known homeopath doctor in India taught me, if one has running nose, sneezing and having watery eyes and sore throat, one might get over it just by taking for couple of days Acon 30c and All-c 30c. Acon is still helpful in this stage of cold, but it will not cure alone.

In more serious colds with fever, he gave most often combination; every 3 hours alternating Acon, Gels and Bell 30c (and after once 200s if anxious). The cold may not stop earlier than two days, (as it never usually stops if it is in full swing, even what so ever you take), but one is less likely to get after any complications such as sinus, ear, bronchus etc problems and less likely to get cold soon again.

For the longer lingering cold with coughing he recommended to take Bryonia 200c and Hep-s 200c for few days. Although these may be good advices for those who know a little bit about homeopathy, but they are not meant to be a sure recovery for all cases. In some cases it is better to seek advice from homeopath. Old colds are not that easy to cure especially if any complications set in. ………………….

Person who used to get often earaches started to take Acon 30x, Pulsatilla 30x and Chamomilla 30x on first earache symptoms. Since he has also taken those medicines in higher potencies, he has not had any ear problems for years. Thus most homeopathic medicines not only cure, but work as preventive.

Homeopathy is still not enough well known, or experimented, and homeopaths seems to have many dogmas themselves, especially in the West. In India, where I also have studied, homeopathy, it is much more developed – understandably as most of the homeopaths there have tens if not hundreds of patients every day. Millions of people go only to homeopaths during their life time in India. ……………………..

And if you don’t want to take homeopathic medicine (or might want to take same time with it), there seems to be some other preventive measures for colds. Some in know recommend beta-carotene, zinc and astragalus couple of weeks, and formula of echinacea and goldenseal twice weekly, all during the cold and flu season. Vitamin C and bioflavonoids might be also helpful. Use Ginger and turmeric for cooking.

During cold lemon water with salt will help by reducing acidity. Honey and having something hot to drink constantly – teas, fruit drinks, elderberry (boiled) and black current juice etc – heals and flushes out the toxins. One may breathe some steam, and rinse nose and throat with slightly salty warm water.

Indian Sarkar’s ayurvedic receipt; ginger, cardamom and black pepper mix, boil and drink 4-5 times a day. Ginger is the destroyer of kapha. Thus ginger in ayurveda is kaphári. Mustard mixed with old molasses licked in the morning with ½ tarmac powder (lime stone) and cup of warm milk twice/day. Keep ears, elbows, knees, feet and neck warm, cold enters in those places.

Let’s not forget that there are also psychic reasons for colds. Some people claim cold is small suicide, effort to escape stressful chaos and excuse to get rest. Fear and anxiety seem to be related to colds. Chronic stress and vitamin D deficiency could be described as the perfect “storm” for developing colds, say doctor Mercola.

Old traditional cures for colds in Finland; field hops with seeds of raspberry and alum. Anis, juniper berry oil or syryp and wormwood were also taken for colds. Some varieties of lichen, hyssop and coltsfoot for lung symptoms. Moss, salix peel, polypodium vulgare for deep cough. Marsh tea for pneumonia. Sorrrel and lacquer (Rubus chamaemorus) were used for fever. Mallow for sore throat.

However the best healing method in Finland was always sauna and cupping (often with blood letting), which took almost all the disease away!!!

It is good to have some homeopathic store and learn to use homeopatchic medicines, because some crises are coming, also with medical. Not to panic but it is always better to be prepared. You may also help others.

Take care of your health! Didi Annapurna
