It’s great to live in an environment where the temperature variations are not particularly extreme. For most people though, the colder temperatures and weather patterns that occur during winter are associated with a constellation of health problems that can be debilitating, if not deadly. Herbs, supplements, acupuncture, diet and lifestyle changes can provide useful solutions, but for many, homeopathy delivers a rapid response to these problems and is convenient and easy to use.
Following are some of the more prominent ailments that are called to our attention in winter, and some homeopathic suggestions for their relief. Most of the remedies mentioned can be used in a 6C potency three times daily. For any issues that don’t resolve in a reasonable period of time, or those that increase in severity, the services of a qualified and experienced homeopath should be sought. Always consult with a Registered Homeopath who has undergone extensive training in both homeopathy and health sciences.
