Use a 30th potency and administer it every 1-3 hours for up to 5 doses. When improvement ensues, stop the remedy. If need be, switch to another remedy once you have given the first one a good chance. It takes practice, but once you become adroit with homeopathy, you'll never return to the old ways. Here are a few cold remedies and their corresponding symptoms: 1. The best remedy for the very first onset of a cold is Nat mur 6x. However, it must be ushered in with a number of sneezes and copious clear mucus and taken at the first onset. If these characteristics are present, then this remedy is nearly infallible. If not, it's best to consider others. 2. If chill is the outstanding feature, then Aconitum is your remedy. It is particularly valuable when the chill is as a result of standing in the cold or getting a chill from getting out of a shower, etc. 3. When a chill is very pronounced, then Camphor is more likely to be the remedy to abort a cold. 4. If the cold comes from moving from a very warm climate to a cool one, such as when the city dweller goes for a drive on a hot day to the cool mountains, then Dulcamara is the best suited remedy. 5. If the cold has caused a weakness as the most prominent complaint, then Gelsemium is best indicated. Chills up the back, beating of the arteries up the neck and hands that are hot and dry are also symptoms associated with this remedy. 6. Mercurius is the remedy to choose when the mucus is prominent from the nose and is serious. The nose is swollen and red from which there is a foul smell. A heavy headache prevails in the face area; there is thirst and nightly sweats. The person who needs this remedy wants to be left alone, is depressed during the cold or is often low in spirits. The extremities are achy and all the symptoms are made worse from both heat and cold. 7. A closely related remedy to Mercurius is Hepar sulph. It is often a good choice when Mercurius fails and is particularly valuable when the person is over sensitive to pain. 8. Nux vomica is the remedy of choice when the body feels blocked, such as when the nose feels stuffed and would feel better if it could just release. The forehead feels heavy. The person is often irritable and impatient and they resent touch, noise, and odors. Homeopathy has the ability to be applicable to any illness, great or small. It adroitly resolves the most uncomfortable colds. Next time you're stricken, choose the most appropriate remedy and enjoy the next few weeks because you'll be back on your feet in no time. </em> Here is what Joette Calabrese of homeopathyworks.net suggests for colds:
