Homeopathic Flu RemediesAconite is an ideal option for the first stages or signs of cold and flu when symptoms come on suddenly, especially after the body has been taxed by shock, frights, anger, cold drafts or getting chilled. Keys to look for are flushed face, headache, dry cough, sniffles, sore throat, sneezes, restlessness, raised sensitivity and fear– a sense that it is the worst possible case. Aconite has an uncanny knack for helping the body ease its symptoms, speed healing and find resolve ASAP.Gelsemium: Typical heavy, almost paralytic, weakness and mental dullness symptoms plague its cold and flu misery. While restless inside, there's a marked heaviness and muscle pain that work against any exertion outside of unavoidable shivering with chills. The back, the limbs, even the eyeballs ache. Excitement - good or bad, or chilling weather, can definitely have a role in lowering resistance.Pulsatilla -cold symptoms can feel as miserable as a flu. Congestion with thick yellow to green discharge is at the center of it's woes, blocking the nose or running profusely. Once it settles in, a constant cough kicks off in the evening. It is dry at night which makes you sit up and cough in fits to try to loosen it, which doesn't happen much until morning. Pulsatilla's modalities are key pointers – worse lying down or with exertion and much worse in a hot stuffy room, better with the window open as fresh air is a must. Sitting up helps, too.Belladonna:? A desire to escape is understandable when its cold or flu miseries set in - fast and hot. Sudden, hot fevers and restlessness dominate. It has a flushed red face, heat alternating with chills and sensitivity of all senses (light, noise, odors, touch...). The heat brings on dryness (no sweating) – a dry cough and a terrible sore throat. Again cold weather can bring it on and in this case even getting your hair wet can be a trigger. Similar in many ways to Aconite, Belladonna just amps it up.Bryonia flus take the misery up a notch as bodyaches, chills and headaches make motion and sensory stimulation (noise, light, etc) highly vexing. The irritable grumpiness they trigger makes the comfort of others unwelcome as well. Its fevers run dry and hot with chills. Bryonia's colds are not quite as bad as its flus until the alternating stuffy blocked and watery running discharge settles in the chest. The fitful, dry, racking cough often leads to grabbing the chest to minimize motion. Symptoms tend to come on in autumn and at 9pm, and may vex the right side more than the left.? As with most Bryonia ailments, complete rest is a necessity, and lack of it can be a contributing factor.Eupatorium flus are competitors which always try to make sufferers even more miserable than Bryonia's can. The key here is that the body aches get down to the core. The only relief is in the irresistible desire to sleep. But when awake, the eyeballs ache, skin hurts, bones feel broken, headache throbs and shivers run up and down the back. One difference is that great thirst and sweat are prevalent. ................
