Have you found that you or a family member gets sick from a change in temperature? For example, getting a cold or other respiratory issues when the weather changes from cold to hot or vice versa? It could be a cold or cough, a sore throat or cystitis, flu or diarrhoea, strains or muscular soreness.
Well, there are remedies that can help!
BRYONIA This is a very good acute remedy when there is a sudden change in weather/temperature which brings on complaints.
For example, travelling to a hot climate for a holiday, moving from air-conditioned rooms to non air-conditioned rooms, morning cold but afternoon hot – these are examples when Bryonia might be useful.
Onset: Complaints come on gradually, 24-48 hours. If there is a sore throat, it will be painful and DRY. There will be increased thirst with a desire for drinking water. Complaints are accompanied by a headache.
Mental state: grumpy and irritable.
Better: Lying in bed, stillness, Worse: any movement, 9pm, touch
2. RHUS TOX Useful for a complaint that comes on after being hot and then bathing in cold water leading to feeling chilled. This could vary from a cold/cough or a strain in the neck, a stiff back, hives or a toothache.
This remedy has lots of restlessness, physical and mental, associated with it – very 3. different from Bryonia. They hate the cold and are sensitive to the damp.
Better: Warmth, heat , moving about. Worse: cold, damp, change of weather, swimming in cold water.
BELLIS PERENNIS Complaints due to consuming cold drinks/food when the body is heated. For example, drinking ice cold drinks or eating icecream on a very hot day. A cold wind can also bring about an illness.
4. DULCAMARA People needing this remedy feel the cold and damp intensely, so a change of weather to cold/damp can be a trigger for complaints such as a cough or flu. This is a remedy to think of in summers which are colder or wetter than normal OR for hot days and cold nights.
This also a remedy to consider for cystitis/UTIs or diarrhoea which comes on after getting cold and wet.
Better: movement Worse: cold, damp, night
