Synopsis
Autumn colds are a common, seasonal illness. This article aims to help you understand the underlying causes of common autumn colds, and how you can use homeopathy to treat them.
Key Takeaways
- Homeopathy is a science-based medical system that uses drugs with natural substances to treat illness
- It works by treating the root rather than just the symptoms themselves
- It is particularly effective at treating recurring infections like bronchitis, sinusitis, and coughing fits
Autumn is here, and with it comes the fall colds. You're not alone if you're suffering from one of these debilitating illnesses. It's estimated that more than 100 million Americans will suffer from a cold or the flu yearly. Fortunately, homeopathy for autumn cold can effectively treat symptoms without resorting to antibiotics or prescription drugs that have side effects and may interact with other medications you might already take.
It's safe, natural, and effective. Best of all, it can help with minor ailments like sinus congestion or coughs without worsening your symptoms. Below are some homeopathic remedies that may help relieve your symptoms during this time of year:
Belladonna 30C
Belladonna 30C is a homeopathic remedy for colds, sore throats, and congestion. It works by reducing inflammation in the body and easing symptoms of pain, fever, or headache.
The recommended dosage of Belladonna 30C is 30 drops three times daily before meals [1]. If you experience nausea while taking this remedy, try drinking ginger tea instead, as it will help reduce nausea associated with Belladonna 30C.
Belladonna 30C effectively treats symptoms such as coughing up mucus (which can occur due to congestion), watery eyes/nose/throat discomfort, sore throat pain, and difficulty swallowing food or liquids due to swollen glands within your mouth area. It may also help improve breathing thanks to its anti-inflammatory effects on respiratory tract tissues such as the larynx (voice box).
Again though, there are no guarantees, so always consult your homeopathy doctor before using any over-the-counter medication unnecessarily if you have any underlying health conditions that require medical attention, such as asthma attacks caused by allergies like pollen allergies which could aggravate symptoms further during the fall season when temperatures drop below the freezing point without warning.
Baptisia
Baptisia may be a good remedy for flu-like symptoms. It is also helpful for colds with a cough and fever, as well as those with sore throats.
Baptisia is made from the leaves of goldenrod (one of the plant families that includes ragweed), which are used in homeopathy to help improve digestion and remove excess mucus from the body.
When taken internally, it stimulates saliva production to help relieve congestion in your sinuses. You can achieve the same effect by gargling with warm water or drinking some raw honey before bedtime—you should avoid eating salty foods while taking this remedy because they can also cause swelling in your throat.

Some consider Bryonia to be the best homeopathy for autumn cold and coughs. It helps with dry, hacking coughs that are worse with motion and better with pressure.
Bryonia is an excellent remedy for colds [2], as it can be used to treat any infection. If you have a sore throat or fever, try taking three pellets twice daily until your symptoms improve.
Aconite
Aconite is a homeopathic remedy that is used to treat colds and flu. It's also used as a pain medication, fever reducer, and chills reliever. If you have any of these symptoms, try taking Aconite homeopathy in capsule form three times daily for up to 10 days.
If you're feeling sick or have been exposed to someone who has the flu virus (a common occurrence at the end of summer), take Aconite once an hour until your symptoms improve or disappear entirely.
Eupatorium Perfoliatum or Eupatorium Perf
Eupatorium Perfoliatum (or Eupatorium Perf) is a homeopathic remedy that relieves symptoms of colds and coughs. It's also compelling for sinusitis, hay fever, asthma, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
Eupatorium Perfoliatum works by balancing the body's immune system so it can fight off infections more effectively. It helps eliminate bacteria or viruses in your body that may cause you to feel sicker than usual when you're sick with an autumnal condition like bronchitis or pneumonia.
It's essential not to take this remedy if you have allergies because it can make them worse rather than better.

Allium Cepa is a good remedy for a cough that worsens at night or when eating. It can also be used to treat dryness in the lungs and sinuses.
Ferrum Phos 6X Cell Salts
Cell salts are homeopathic remedies made from minerals and used to treat many symptoms. For example, they're an excellent way to soothe your throat, which can be sore and scratchy after a cold. Cell salts can also help with other issues like sinus congestion and cough.
The best part about cell salts is that they're safe for everyone—they won't make you feel drowsy or high (like some medications). Of course, you should take them orally, but if you don't have time for that or just want something fast that works quickly, chewable tablets are available as well.
Gelsemium
Gelsemium is a homeopathy for autumn cold and coughs. It can treat acute and chronic symptoms of the common cold, including sore throat, cough, and runny nose.
Gelsemium may also be useful for treating other conditions like sinusitis or bronchitis that are accompanied by these symptoms.
Nux Vomica
Nux Vomica is an excellent remedy for irritability, restlessness, anxiety, and nervousness. It can be used to treat nausea and vomiting, as well as headaches. Nux Vomica may also cause insomnia or dry mouth.
If you have these symptoms while taking Nux Vomica:
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Dry mouth (sensation of not being able to swallow)
- Sweating out of control
- Muscular weakness - unable to lift objects without feeling pain in hands or arms
Pulsatilla 30C
Pulsatilla 30C is a good remedy for colds and coughs but is also helpful for children. It treats any symptoms of the autumn cold season, including sinusitis and bronchitis. It's also suitable for people sensitive to cold weather or air conditioning.
Arsenicum album
Arsenicum album is homeopathy for autumn cold and flu. It's also used to treat diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and skin infections.
In addition to these symptoms you may experience when you have an autumn cold or flu:
- The feeling of being tired all the time (fatigue)
- Feeling weak or unable to do anything but lay in bed (weakness)
- A sore throat that won't go away even after taking medication for it (soreness)
Bryonia
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that uses highly diluted substances to cure or alleviate symptoms. The most common homeopathic remedy used for autumn colds is Bryonia. This remedy can help resolve cough, sore throat, fever, and chills associated with autumn cold. It also reduces restlessness in congested patients with a stuffy nose and runny eyes.
Bryonia helps reduce inflammation in the body by targeting the cause rather than just treating symptoms like other medications do; this makes it particularly effective when treating adults as well as children over six years old who have similar symptoms but may not respond well to traditional medicines used specifically for children (such as aspirin).
Chamomilla
Chamomilla is a mild best homeopathy for autumn cold. It is also used to treat spasms, inflammation, and convulsions.
Chamomile works by increasing the production of mucus in your respiratory tract, which helps prevent infections from spreading into your lung tissue. It also reduces pain caused by coughing or sneezing and helps relieve congestion and loosen phlegm buildup in the throat area.
Autumn colds are common, and that's because it is a time of weather change. The body cannot adjust easily from the hot conditions of summer to the very cold in autumn. It is why your immunity can take a beating during this time.
Many people suffer from allergies during this time as well. Falling ill during this time means you will end up losing valuable days at work and giving yourself an additional chance to get sick again next year.
If you have fallen ill during autumn, then these several preventive measures can do wonders for you. We hope this guide has helped you decide on the best homeopathy for your symptoms.
