Beautifcul Spring flowers are here but so is the rain! Chilly temperatures continue, sometimes daily with the sun appearing every now and again. It’s a time with this unsettled weather to easily catch a chill, so it is important to keep an eye on your overall health and dress for all weathers - especially children! Cold wind exposure can have a habit of bringing on symptoms quite suddenly.
This is also the time of year for hayfever sufferers to think about the more pollen-filled weeks ahead. It’s never too late to experiment with Homeopathy. But to get good results, it is best to visit a Homeopath who can look at your overall health and treat you constitutionally. This is a much more successful way of using Homeopathy but there are also several good hayfever remedies you can buy over the counter for acute symptoms such as Euphrasia, and Allium Cepia for those stinging, watery eyes.
HOMEOPATHIC TISSUE SALTS (remedies in low potency) are a good way to support your health and alleviate a whole variety of symptoms. Helios Pharmacy now have their own brand of the famous twelve tissue salt collection. (Helios.co.uk) They are worth looking at and seeing if there is a weak area you might like to support. For example: Mag Phos is a great tissue salt to help with tired muscles after a lot of sport and fitness exercise, especially if you are prone to muscular cramps. It can also be used to alleviate the pain and discomfort of menstrual cramps. Kali Phos Tissue Salt is very helpful for nervous tension and exhaustion, emotionally and physically. It can also be used to aid recovery and support low energy after an illness.
