HOLD BACK COUGHS WITH HOMEOPATHY

Because they contain only infinitessimally minute amounts of various substances, homeopathic remedies are safe. As with herbs, for greatest effectiveness, treatment should be based on the type of cough. Dry, wheezing coughs that interrupt sleep, for example, respond best to Drosera, which relieves lung spasms. However, a dry cough that continues during the day and is so frequent that it causes the chest to hurt should be treated with Bryonia.

Spongia Tosta is recommended for dry, raspy coughs that are made worse by talking, and pulsatilla is a good remedy for a wet, hacking cough.

As with herbs, combination homeopathic cough remedies are another option, especially for coughs that don't fall into any one category. Follow the dosage instructions on the product you choose.

During cold season, it's a good idea to have one or more herbal or homeopathic cough remedies on hand. By being prepared, you can begin treating a cough as soon as it appears and avoid any health compromises caused by over-the-counter medicines.
