Calming Stubborn Coughs with Homeopathy
As you may have seen or experienced this winter has been full nasty viruses with annoying lingering coughs. Some of the fan favs being RSV, Covid, influenza, Whooping Cough, Rhinovirus and strange, rare and peculiar hybrids viruses that don’t test up as anything but feel like a combo of everything.
If you have been unfortunate enough to have your own viral clash this winter or spent a week with a toddler coughing in your face all night or a partner claiming the couch as their new home and waiting for your 5-star 24 hour - tea, tissue and soup service to begin…
Then you will know just how tiring and all-consuming these nasty pathogens can be when they take hold, and as if being sick for a week is not enough, you can then be hit with an annoying niggling cough that wants to become part of your day to day life and keep you up all night!
Below is a few remedies that I found have been needed to break these tenacious 2025 coughs;
Bacillinum 10M – a great all-rounder for a dry cough that just wont shift. Normally started after the acute cold symptoms have cleared it is not for the really intense coughing to gagging type lingering coughs that you see in RSV and whooping cough, but definitely one I start with.
Pertussin 10M (or RSV 10M) – now of course if you have tested up positive to one of these then definitely go for the specific strain, but due to amazing Law of Similars if you have a cough that sounds and presents like whooping cough then you can use the remedy with great results. Very helpful for month long coughs worse at night with fits that can produce gagging and vomiting.
Drosera 1M – amazing remedy for that persistent cough that keeps you up all night long, I have found this winter Drosera has been the best fit for most people’s coughs.tae ultricies leo integer.
Of course there are so many great cough remedies that can also help but I find these three have been game changers in this years stubborn coughs. If you can handle a little raw herb action our Herbal Lung Tonic is a powerful drink to strengthen weak lungs and the Vital Potions Kids Cough Tea is so warm and soothing with wonderful health benefits that the kids will love with a bit of honey.
Don’t forget, with our heaters going all night to keep the air warm for our sick little coughers, this also makes the air very dry and potentially very aggravating to the cough, so get out your vaporiser with some good Breath Easy essential oil blends to have by their bed at night to add a little moister to the air. Important Note: always open the bedroom window the next morning to clear the condensation left on the windows from the vaporiser, the last thing we need is mould to join the party!!
So, I truly hope that these remedies and simple calming coughs hacks can help clear that stubborn cough and bring some well-deserved relief so you can get back to doing all the things you love, cough free!!
