Coughs & Colds Kit – 10 Homeopathic Remedies

Description

Our Coughs & Colds Kit (which started out life as Winter Remedies Kit) contains our pick of the 10 most frequently used remedies for minor ailments which may appear any time of the year!

You should find something in this little kit to help with the beginnings of a cold, sore throat or similar.

Measuring just 12 x 6 x 4.5 cm it’s the perfect size to pop in a bag or backpack for a day out or short trip.

Kit Contents:

1. Get Prepped – (previously known as Winter Prep) was created as an annual support remedy, containing traditional homeopathics which relate to the illnesses seen in the northern hemisphere in the previous winter. We tweak this most years to reflect what is going on out there! In addition to providing support, the remedy can be used to manage symptoms should they arise. Take once a week as required. Take 3 times a day for first 3 days of an illness along with any other indicated remedy. Great for kids in childcare or new to school.

We suggest taking every one or two weeks during winter as an immune support. Great for kids in childcare or new to school.

2. Cold & Flu Combination – To assist the early and common symptoms of a head cold or mild flu including runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion and minor sore throats. Use alongside Winter Prep to assist recovery and reduce intensity of symptoms.

3. Congestion – To assist recovery from lingering coughs, sinus congestion and mucous following a cold or flu. Symptoms may include sticky, stringy, copious, persistent mucous in sinuses or loose cough following a cold .

4. Cough – Chesty – To promote recovery from minor and uncomplicated chesty or loose coughs in children and adults. If symptoms do not improve within a few days, see your homeopath as constitutional treatment may be required for stubborn or recurrent coughs and check in with your GP.

5. Cough – Dry – Includes remedies traditionally indicated to promote relief from minor and uncomplicated dry coughs in children and adults, including those croupy sounding coughs.

6. Fever Combination – To assist the common symptoms of a fever associated with a cold or other minor ailment. Babies and small children with teething issues may respond better to ABC, but this combination is also appropriate for this age group. Always seek medical help for fever in a child under 6 months old.

7. Immune Boost – Includes a range of traditional immune boosting homeopathics in a form that is easy for children to take as the dose is small and the taste not unpleasant. Useful as a support during minor illness or as a boost during winter.

8. Throat Sootha – To assist with sore throats or mild tonsillitis alone or associated with a cold or similar illness. Use Belladonna, Aconite, Ferrum Phos or TS Acutes for the early stages but if symptoms progress use Throat Sootha. If cold symptoms are stronger than the sore throat symptoms try Cold & Flu which also covers throat symptoms of a minor nature.

9. TS Acutes – This traditional tissue salt combination is recommended for the beginnings of colds and similar ailments with sneezing, runny nose, possibly mild fever and general unwellness. Useful for small children when you suspect something may be brewing but you have no symptoms to pin a remedy on. A favourite of mine – if you don’t know what to give first – give TS Acutes!

10. Recovery – Respiratory – A useful remedy if you have someone with a lingering cough after a cold or flu, with low energy and low appetite.

This little kit’s the perfect size to pop in a bag or backpack for a day out or short trip.

Supplied in 10g sucrose, approximately 110 pilules per bottle.

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

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.
