Help for Winter Immune System Problems and Infections

This winter, treat and protect yourself and your family against colds, influenza, sore throats, sinusitis, coughs and all the usual Winter problems with homeopathy and herbal medicine. Individualised homeopathic and herbal treatment as provided by a homeopath or phytotherapist is the best, simplest and safest way of treating many common infections and also helping to prevent them. 
No two people are alike and so no two treatments are the same.  Your practitioner will take into account how the problem started, where it is, what makes it better or worse and other factors such as appetite or thirst changes, type of fever, food cravings since being ill, changes to sleep patterns etc. This will help them come up with a more effective individualised treatment which is more specific and therefore safer and more effective than guessing yourself and attempting to self-medicate with over the counter herbal or homeopathic medicines. 

Your practitioner may recommend nutritional supplements such as Vitamin D, Zinc or Vitamin C, herbal medicines such as Calendula, Pelargonium, Echinacea, Elderflower or Elderberry, Cinnamon, Ginger or many other herbals or homeopathic medicines such as Aconitum, Belladonna, Arsenicum album, Gelsemium,Tuberculinum etc. 

Calendula officinalis - warming, drying, cheering, sunny herb for Winter infections
My advice is to see a practitioner as soon as symptoms set in, but lingering symptoms or that 'just-can't-shake-this-cough/cold state' can rapidly be mopped up if you haven't got there in time.

This winter, don't suffer uneccessarily, your homeopath or phytotherapist can help!
