Cold, Flu, C9 Kit – 20 Homeopathic Remedies

Description

This kit came out of the covid years and we all know there’s still a lot of unusual and yucky viral illness around.

Combination remedies can be good and are really easy to use, but sometimes you just need a single remedy to do the work all on its own. This kit is a mix of what has been most useful and will no doubt still be useful moving forwards, as despite names and labels the symptoms we get are often pretty similar each year.

The remedies in this kit are mainly in the 200c potency because we found over the years since 2020 we just seem to need a bit more energy to get things on the mend. We and our colleagues saw the difference between using a 30c and a 200c due to the very acute nature of the symptoms people were and still are experiencing.

This handy zip around kit contains 20 of the most frequently indicated remedies for supporting and managing minor and acute illnesses which may affect you or your family in these times.

The inclusions are based on discussions with colleagues around the globe about the most indicated remedies over the time, what we’ve used in clinic and actually what’s been traditionally used for the past 200 years of supporting people through the kinds of things winter and travel can bring.

TGA regulations prohibit us from “treating” or “preventing” certain conditions! However, homeopathy has always supported the whole person and whatever ails them. We treat the person, not the disease!

Since homeopathy treats the person, not the disease or diagnosis, the remedies which came in our original C9 pack created in 2021 are also your cold and flu remedies, similar to when you’d reach for over-the-counter medications to help sooth and settle early symptoms and promote recovery.

Please follow all current health regulations if you or your family become unwell.

If symptoms do not improve see your homeopath, GP, ED or contact Health Direct on 1800 022 222

Homoeopathic medicines have not been known to produce side effects and can be taken in conjunction with pharmaceutical medications as they are not contraindicated.

The book Homeopathy for the Home Prescriber which is available in the store, can be a good further source of information on the single remedies. This great little book contains more info as it’s not as heavily regulated as we are in relation to what we can post on the website!!

Our Pack contains the following single and combination remedies:

Dosage for Remedies

These notes are a general guide.

Homeopathy is not an exact science and while we can offer general suggestions as to how to give the remedies, each case will be a little different in terms of how often a remedy may be required to bring about improvement.

With homeopathics, because we are working with energy, not substance, we want to give just enough to stimulate the body to do the job. If your remedy works brilliantly with the first dose, you don’t need to repeat unless the symptoms appear to be coming back again.

Do read the individual directions on each product (both on the label and in the How to Use in the product description) to ascertain whether usage differs to the suggestions here.

Drops

Our products are made up according to traditional homeopathic pharmacy protocols and include a small amount of pure alcohol as a preservative.  You can read the FAQ here on alcohol in remedies.

For newborns,  if you do not wish to put the drops in the mouth, you may apply to the soles of the foot or the top of the head. You can also purchase drops and add a spray top to your order, so that you can spray the remedy onto the soles of the feet. The remedy will work just as well whichever way you use it.

Babies under 6 months – 1 drop or 1 spray

Babies 6-12 months       – 2 drops or 1 spray

12 months and above   – 4 drops

Organic German Sucrose

Give 1 or 2 pilules per dose regardless of age.

Crush between 2 clean teaspoons if you are giving to a baby and you are uncomfortable with giving whole.

Sometimes the pilules can look wet. This is due to the nature of the organic sucrose. The alcohol – which is the remedy applied to the pilules – will evaporate off as you use your remedies. They should not stick together and this does not affect the effect of the remedies.

Homeopathy is about quality, not quantity!

Creams

All our creams are suitable for vegans, due to the way we make them and the based we use.

Directions for Use

With homeopathics, because we are working with energy, not substance, we want to give just enough to stimulate the body to do the job. If your remedy works brilliantly with the first dose, you don’t need to repeat unless the symptoms appear to be coming back again.

Tissue Salts

If you have selected a single tissue salt remedy or a combination, the general suggestion is to take three times a day for up to three months (as per Dr Schuessler’s advice). However, we would expect you would see improvement much sooner than this, likely as soon as a couple of weeks.  If you have taken for one month with no obvious difference, choose another tissue salt or consult your homeopath.

Our homeopathic remedies and kits are suitable for the management of self-limiting and minor ailments and illnesses and not for the home treatment of chronic, ongoing or serious conditions or named diseases. For any ongoing chronic condition, it is important to be assessed or examined by your healthcare professional or specialist. If in doubt as to the appropriateness of a product to a particular situation, consult your health care practitioner, GP or Emergency Department.

Always seek medical advice in emergencies. Use only as directed. Always read the label or information supplied. If symptoms persist see your health care practitioner.

There are obviously many more remedies which address symptoms of colds and flu. Please contact your homeopath for further help before symptoms become severe – the earlier you treat, the quicker symptoms resolve.

If symptoms do not improve in a reasonable timeframe see your homeopath, GP, ED or contact Health Direct on 1800 022 222.
