Common Cold and Ferrum phos.
Viral infections like the common cold or flu are a real problem for many people, especially in winter. For all those people I’ve got a recommendation for the treatment without side effects. As soon as you feel the typical flu symptoms like sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, fever, coughing, inflammation take “Ferrum phosphoricum” (or short Ferrum phos.) to prevent it from breaking out. You can buy it from a health shop, chemists or just google it and buy online. Start with a low potency like 6x (D6 in some countries) to see how your body reacts. If it doesn’t relieve the symptoms after 1 or 2 days it might help to increase the potency of the medicine. Make sure not to touch the medicine, instead put the pellets into the cap and then directly into your mouth under your tongue.
The good thing about Ferrum phos. is that it does not have any side effects. Be aware that there are some strong aromatic substances which can disturb Ferrum phos. from properly working. These include coffee, or everything that contains coffee and menthol toothpaste. There are some special homeopathic toothpastes (without peppermint) available which are suitable to take during treatment.
I’ve taken it for about 2 years with a lot of success. If you take Ferrum phosphoricum please let me know how it goes. I’m convinced its a good way for common cold prevention, and also to alleviate the symptoms if the common cold is already in full swing.
It is also suitable for pregnant women and children since it doesn’t have any side effects. Be aware that even if you take Ferrum phos. the cold still might last the usual 5 to 10 days to cure but with less severe symptoms.
If you can not get Ferrum phos. from your local pharmacy try the links below to buy it online. There is also a link to buy the peppermint free toothpaste from Weleda which I quite grew to like, because it has a nice fennel oil taste and not that artificial toothpaste taste like Colgate.
