Homeopathic solutions to the flu?

Huggles good question, i don't have a clue if it's 4 or 8, but the description at the back of the bottle says for runny nose, coughs and colds etc. It's a blue bottle! I am so embarassed now because i can't even tell you which make it is. Will let you know tomorrow

jaylee, which tissue salts do you use for colds/flu. I currently have Tissue salts 4 and 8 (4 = Ferrum Phos - i use for sore throats, 8 = Mag Phos - i use for headaches). I agree, they do work very well.

Another homeopathic remedy and one that i use almost on a daily basis is Tissue Salts. All it does is repair the cells that are affected by the virus and assists the body to heal quicker. My 9 month old daugher as well as 4 year old son gets it daily especially when i see a runny nose or a slight cough coming on. I start immediately with the tissue salts and ZInplex vitamin and they usually kick the cold within about 4 to 5 days with no green mucus or anything else. Give it a try! Good luck

PS: My husband started with a nasty cold and after two days on the tissue salts he is already getting alot better. It didn't get into his chest at all and is clearing nicely.

Thanks! I will definitely try the onion! Never heard anything like that before?

My 2 year old goes to school, so I think she brings home all the nasties - I wonder if I can get her teacher to put an onion in the class

I don't know Pentagen drops either - will google to find out more.

Thank you for all the advice!

I know a runny nose is not bad, but I never know when it turns into something bad - I worry I leave it and then WHAM: double lung infection and a very very sick baba... Maybe i am just paranoid

Pentagen drops works really well.

I know the feeling of having your baby on constant antibiotics. Try Huggles suggestion of the onions, otherwise try to get a second opinion or go see a homeopath. Because your little one is still under a year, I won't suggest trying everything.

What we use, my son is 5, is Natura's Pentagen drops, at the first sign of the sniffles. He also got Aconite pills from his homeo.

This is going to sound weird I know, but as a temporary measure try putting an onion under lo's cot and another one in your lounge or wherever your lo tends to be when not sleeping. Onions are known to attract the germs/bacteria to them and thereby pull them away from us.

Still monitor lo and still see a doctor/homeopath and follow their advice, but putting onions in general vicinity is a cheap and non-harmful way of cleaning the air and can be done immediately.
