Homeopathic
Remedies for Cough

Some Important drug used for cough treatment
Aconitum
Napellus: This remedy is indicated when a cough has come on
suddenly—often from exposure to cold wind, or after a traumatic experience. The cough
is likely to be sharp, short, dry, and constant. It may begin during sleep and
wake the person up, or can start when the person goes from a cool place into a
warmer one. Restlessness and fear are typical when this remedy is needed. It is often used in early
stages of croup and asthma.
Belladonna: A cough that comes on
suddenly, often with the feeling of a speck or tickle in the throat, is a strong indication for
this remedy. The cough is intense and nagging and the person may feel as if the
head is about to burst. Sensations
of heat, a reddened face, and dilated pupils are often seen when this remedy is
needed.
Bryonia: This remedy is indicated
when a cold goes into the chest and the cough is very painful and dry. The person feels worse
from any movement, and may even need to hold his or her sides or press against the
chest to keep it still.
The cough can also make the head or stomach hurt, and digestion may be upset.
The mouth can be dry and the person may be thirsty. If someone is very grumpy
when ill and wants to be left alone, not talked to or disturbed, Bryonia is likely to be the remedy.
Chamomilla: A dry, hard, irritating cough that starts
after being exposed to wind, or after being overexcited and angry, can indicate
this remedy.
The cough is often worse
around nine in the evening and may continue into the night. The nervous system is
hypersensitive, and the person can be extremely irritable and agitated. (Children
may even shriek and hit, though they often calm down if someone carries them.)
This remedy is also useful in asthma attacks, especially those brought on by
anger.
Ferrum
phosphoricum: This is an excellent remedy for the early stages of many
inflammatory conditions, especially colds and allergy attacks. The cough is typically
short and tickling, and may be painful. Things are worse in cold air, at night,
and in the early morning. The person feels weary, and often has a moderate
fever and lightly flushed cheeks.
Hepar
sulphuris calcareum: This remedy is very helpful when a cough is loose, rattling and
gagging, and brings up yellow mucus. It also relieves long, dry coughing jags.
Extreme sensitivity to all sensations—especially cold—suggests a need for this
remedy. Cold in any form (even food or drink) can set off a bout of coughing,
and make the person feel more ill. A person who needs this remedy feels both
physically and emotionally vulnerable, and can be irritable and touchy. This remedy is often indicated in
bronchitis and croup.
Ipecacuanha: A violent cough that comes
with every breath, and long
spasmodic bouts of coughing that end in gagging or vomiting, are indications for this
remedy. The person may have a clean, uncoated tongue and experience tightness
in the throat and chest, or an aggravating tickle. Warm, humid air or changes
in the weather tend to make problems worse. Ipecacuanha is often used during asthma
attacks.
Nux
vomica: Indications for this remedy include a tight sensation in the chest
with a dry, hacking, teasing cough—often causing soreness or a feeling that
something has been torn inside. Long coughing jags can end in stomach pain and
retching, and may make the person’s head ache. A person who needs this remedy
is likely to be impatient,
irritable, and oversensitive to everything. A feeling of chilliness is typical, and
problems are often worse from exertion (both mental and physical) and worse in
the morning.
Phosphorus: This remedy is indicated
when a person experiences hoarseness and a tickly cough that hurts the throat, or
a cold that travels quickly to the chest. The cough can be aggravated by
talking, laughing, and exposure to cold air. The person may feel heaviness or tightness.
A
thirst for cold drinks (that
may cause nausea after warming up in the stomach) is another indication for Phosphorus. A person who needs this
remedy is typically
imaginative and fearful, and likes the company of others, but tires very easily. This
remedy is often used for loss
of the voice and laryngitis.
Pulsatilla: Coughs that are dry in the
evening and loose in the morning, worse in a stuffy room or when the person feels too warm,
and improved in open air may indicate this remedy. The chest usually has a feeling of pressure
and soreness, and thick yellow mucus may be coughed up with gagging and
choking. A person who needs this remedy usually likes attention and company. It is often given to children
who tend toward tears when ill and want to be held and comforted.
Rumex
crispus: A teasing, hacking cough that is triggered by a
tickle in the pit of the throat is a strong indication for this remedy; even touching
the base of the throat can set off coughing. The cough is often dry, but frothy
or stringy mucus may come up. Coughing may begin when the person goes outside or
changes from a warm place to a cool one. The cough can keep the person from
sleeping, and the center and left side of the chest are likely to be sore.
Spongia
tosta: This remedy is indicated when a cough is loud, harsh, dry, and
sounds like barking or sawing wood. The person may wake up feeling suffocated,
as if the throat is plugged or the breathing passages are dry. Problems are
usually made worse from being in a room that is too warm, or from lying down
with the head too low. Talking aggravates the cough, and so does exposure to
cold air and smoke. Sitting
up usually helps, and drinking something warm or eating small amounts brings
some relief. This
remedy is often helpful during croup and asthma.
Sulphur: This remedy is indicated
for burning,
irritating coughs
that get worse
at night in bed,
as well as for breathing problems during sleep. It can also be useful when a mild
cough drags on for a week or more without getting worse, but without much
improvement. Burning sensations, redness of eyes and mucous membranes, foul
odors, and an aggravation from bathing are often seen in a person who needs
this remedy.
Select the remedy that most
closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is
appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C,
12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are
usually printed on the label.
Many homeopathic physicians
suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If
improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work. If improvement lags
significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency
of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be
required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several
times a day;
and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient.
Some time patient does not know the what is happens in the throat
inner side,
which causes cough persistently, so the doctor and patient both are important
to check and tells the throat position to the doctor, otherwise cough is a
typical type of disease and cure is delayed. If no response is seen within a
reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
