Rainy Season Cough / Flue

I am not well from past 2 to 3 days. I am suffering from slight fever, Cough and Body pain.
Symptoms:

• Slight fever, Cough and Body pain
• Feel like sleeping
• chill and wants to cover
• Small exertion makes me discomfort
• Cough makes me very uncomfortable.
• Hot water gives me good feeling

Based on the above symptoms I took Homeopathic remedy Bryonia 200.

I felt some relief. But not complete cure. Morning I was fresh but my body started loosing its health by noon. Then again I took Bryonia 200 and then LYCO 200. But Nothing changed much.

Then I Observed myself. I was having some breathing trouble and some motion problem.
According to above symptoms I took CARBO VEG 200, NUX VOM 200.

Again No change in the symptoms and not feeling comfortable as expected.

Then after referring books "Quick Bed Side prescriber", I revisited the symptoms again.

I also realised that this all started after I getting wet in the rain and whole case and symptoms appeared in the new.

Then I took RHUS TOX 30.

• Felt life in the body
• My cough reduced
• Feverishness has gone

Now I need to watch till evening.

I went all around the city for my personal work. It was very much tiring by the end of the day.
I just slept around 5 PM. Temperature rouse to 102.5. Situation very bad.

Again I took the case and referred book in the new symptoms.

ARS ALB stands 1st medicine in the case of Flue
GELS comes 2nd place.

Since I was not having much thirst, I decided to try both.

ARS ALB 200 & GELS 200 ( 2doses )

After 1st dose:
Felt much better.
Cough reduced.
Easy breathing


 After 2nd dose:(In the Morning)
Fever reduced to 100.4
other problems reduced by 80%
Some weakness

After 2nd dose:(In the Noon)

Fever reduced to 98.9
Then 98.4..

Now feeling great and with some weakness.

Homeopathy helps us but needs some trail and error method to identify the right symptom.
Total cost of the treatment was less than 10 Rs.





 

My Daughters Cough

During the initial days Homeopathy attracted me more because of its simplicity, low cost and effectiveness. So I used to consult a local Homeopath for my family needs. My Daughter who was in age group of 2-3 years and she used to get cough attacks regularly. Homeopathy helped her to cure at times. Once, I don't know why but it took more than 15 - 20 days to get rid of his cough. It irritated me. I was tired of taking her to hospital regularly. Also time wastage in travel, suffering of the child, disturbance of whole system, missing of the loving environment & and; etc.. After this incident Many questions started popping up in my mind.

Why is she getting these cough attacks?
Is this heredity?
Are there any issues with her health?
Is medical system so complicated?

Then I started studying homeopathy myself. My father used to refer few books and suggest some medicines in home. Homeopathy was harmless, gentle and side effects are minimal.

Then I also went through some courses & took guidance on it from experts.

During the study and observation, I found that my daughter is getting this only when she eats cream of the cake. After referring the same symptom in HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA - By William BOERICKE, I found Carbo Veg remedy. I just prepared myself to test this. One night 2'o clock my daughter started coughing heavily. Immediately I gave her one doze (3pills) ; after 15 min one more Doze. Believe me after 15 mins the cough has gone 90%. Then I gave final doze.  Done...

Morning she got smiling and no COUGH..:).
Now she is 9 years old and so called COUGH has not returned till date.
 

The Begining

When some one is not well at home, many of us have experienced below points in our daily life.

 
• Taking time off from our office work.
• The long queues for the doctors visit
• Travel to the Doctors Clinics
• The high cost fees
• Some time unnecessary tests
• The sufferings of small kid, parent or self during this waiting or travel time.
• Repeated visits
• Changing the doctors when medication is not working.
• Taking Second opinion

We try some of our home remedies before consulting specialist or a Doctor. I believe the very idea is to reduce the above hassles. I am not an expert in curing in all the diseases. But there 80% of the simple diseases which can be cured by self observation and self medication using simple systems and some by just changing our lifestyle, changing our eating habits, water therapy, Acupressure, Bach Remedies or Some by Homeopathy or other known local medicine knowledge.

Above approach not only helps us to understand our body, mind and soul better, but also help us in leading healthy life.

I am writing my experiences here and many of you would like this. And this might also help you in your daily life.
