Back to school = back to germs
Colds and sniffles are very common when children return to school. Sharing classrooms, play spaces, and plenty of hugs means germs move quickly. While this can feel worrying, catching colds is also a natural part of a child’s development. Each time their body meets a virus, the immune system learns, grows stronger, and builds long-term resilience.
Homeopathy can offer gentle support through these minor illnesses, helping children feel more comfortable as their bodies do the important work of building immunity:
Aconite – for sudden colds that appear after exposure to cold wind or weather
Belladonna – for high fevers, flushed cheeks, and throbbing pains
Euphrasia – for streaming colds with burning tears and irritated eyes
Ferrum phos – for the very early stages of colds, low-grade fever, or when a child just “doesn’t seem right”
Pulsatilla – for thick, yellow or green discharge, especially when the child is clingy or weepy
Nux vomica – for colds with lots of sneezing, irritability, and sensitivity to drafts
Hepar sulph – for colds that are painful, with thick mucus and a tendency to come on in chilly weather
Kali b**h – for stubborn, thick, stringy catarrh that is difficult to clear
Having a well-stocked homeopathic kit means you are ready to support your child when sniffles strike, while also trusting in the natural process of growing a healthy immune system.
