Runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, head congestion, cough, and low-grade fever are some of the symptoms of common cold. Many causative or triggering factors, such as genetic tendency, bacterial or viral infection, change of weather, pollen present in the environment, and stress, are responsible for these conditions. Low immunity is the main causative factor which leads to frequent complaints of the common cold. The health of the immune system is greatly impacted by a person’s emotional state, the level of stress, lifestyle, dietary habits, and nutritional status. A weakened immune system leads to infection, and this infection in turn damages to the immune system, which further weakens it. This is a repetitive cycle that makes it difficult to overcome the tendency towards the common cold.
For all the above complaints in children and adult, homeopathy offers excellent solutions because homeopathic medicines work at immunity level and help the immune system to improve. This prevents frequent infection like the common cold from affecting you.
Homeopathic medicines are easy to take, without any side-effect and safe for small babies, pregnant woman, as well as elderly people.
