Many people, especially children, are susceptible to colds and flu as the weather turns colder in late March. Taking remedies like Anas barb 200c biweekly or monthly and Calc carb weekly can help strengthen immunity. Aconite is recommended at the first sign of a cold, flu, or sore throat, especially after dry, cold wind exposure, while Gelsemium suits classic flu symptoms and Ferrum phos mild fever and flushed cheeks in early illness.

1. Colds and Immunity
Many people, especially children, are susceptible to colds and flu with the change in weather to chilly nights that
start to occur from late March. This is a good time to start remedies to boost and strengthen the immune
system.
As soon as the weather starts to change a fortnightly or monthly dose of Anas barb
200c can be beneficial during the cooler months especially for those susceptible to
colds and flu. Repeat when in contact with an infected person and at the first sign of
symptoms followed by the remedy that fits the ailment.
Calc carb is the remedy to consider for children who have a tendency to catch
colds easily especially after exposure to cold, damp air. Consider a weekly dose in
the lead up to winter to help them overcome this sensitivity. At the very first hint of a cold, flu, earache or sore
throat Aconite is the first remedy to consider; especially if the symptoms have come on rapidly or after exposure
to a dry, cold wind. Gelsemium is for classic flu with aches and pains and slow onset of symptoms. Ferrum
phos suits the first stage of any inflammatory conditions with mild fever and rosy cheeks. We suggest a dose or
two, with Aconite or Gelsemium at the first sign of symptoms, or for just feeling ‘off colour’.
