Winter health and wellbeing

Do you feel fighting fit as we head into Winter? Is you body prepared for the months ahead and the slew of seasonal viruses that will undoubtedly be circulating?

Whilst most viruses during Winter are only mild and self-limiting, they can make you feel pretty rotten for a few days and interfere with your everyday life. Why suffer unnecessarily?

When looking at your health needs this time of year you may want to consider homeopathy. It’s a natural and whole-person system of medicine which is used by millions of people around the world for a range of ailments. It offers a gentle option for all the family, and works with your body’s own healing mechanism. It can be used preventatively too.

You can find a registered homeopath in your area right here at https://www.findahomeopath.org. Most homeopaths offer online consultations too, so you can get the help and advice you need from the comfort and privacy of your own home if you prefer.

If you want to try a remedy at home then Allium Cepa, for instance, can help in building immunity by easing symptoms of colds. Arsen Alb is indicated for a streaming cold with burning discharge from the eyes and nose. Aconite is for the early stages of a cold, brought on by exposure or being chilled. There are many remedies which can be used depending on your specific symptoms though. It's best to get expert advice.

What’s quite likely though is that you and your family will feel the effects of a virus like the common cold at some point between now and Spring, so maybe it’s best to keep a homeopathic remedy kit at home just in case.
