Respiratory Infections and Homeopathy

Respiratory Infections and Homeopathy

Respiratory infections are now a day’s common problem.

The question is why?

Besides other factors, this is true that the overall health of our immune systems is getting worse with each generation. The formal doctors are suggesting antibiotic without any hesitation in almost all cases of respiratory infections. This is converting the problem more complicated. Every one knows that the antibiotics are weakening the resistance/defense system of human body generation by generation.

What to do?

The answer is Homeopathy.

Homeopathy is the blessing for humanity and this could play a major role in the treatment of respiratory infections and the prevention of this epidemic. There are numerous medicines that can be used to restore and strengthen the immune system which are prescribed on the basis of matching symptoms with that of a patient.The homeopathic medicines restore the immune system gently and without damaging or weakening it.

I am giving here a very short list of commonly used medicines for respiratory infection especially in children. Please select the most matching remedy after consulting the material medica.

Justicia adhatoda 30C: Very effective for infections in the respiratory tract. Cough worse from a warm room,feeling of heaviness and tightness in the chest.

Sambucus nigra 30C: an other amazing remedy, bronchitis leading to suffocation cough at night. The patient rise up with the difficulty in breathing, a child becomes blue.

Pulsatilla 30C: Thick discharge of mucus, cough, a patient with tendency to weeping easily .Throws off the covers at night. No or very little thirst.

At last Senega came to Rescue the Old Lady

 At last Senega came to Rescue the Old Lady

An old lady of about 70 years old had frequent attacks of spasmodic fatiguing cough for the last 6 months. As usual, she remained under the treatment of more than three different allopath doctors for about six months who recommended a series of medicines like “Klaricid”, “Hydrallin”, “Danzen”, “Maxair”, and many others which were not legible for me on the prescription slip. But regrettably these medicines did not prove fruitful for the coughing lady. Finally, in utter frustration the patient was escorted to my clinic with a reference to one of my old patients. It was very troublesome for the old woman to explain the nature of her illness as the terrible paroxysms of cough were hindering her to talk comfortably. The colour of the mucus she could expectorate at times was yellowish green. As I understood and felt, there was much accumulation of mucus in her chest and very difficult to cough up. The medicines which came to my mind instantly were Drosera, Antimonium Tart and Pulsatilla. One dose of Drosera-200 was given at the clinic whereas Antimonium tart-30 alternated by Pulsatilla-30 administered for a week. After one week, contrary to my expectations, the condition of the patient was not appreciably good. After consulting the Materia Medicas of Dr. William Boericke and E. B. Nash, I was convinced to give Senega-3X to be taken thrice a day for another week. Senega did fantastic job as the ‘voiceful’ patient entered the clinic happily like a young lady to acknowledge the magic of homeopathy.
