Rhus tox, Spongia, Allium cepa, Arsenicum & Eupatorium
Rhus tox and Arsenicum are the big remedies / polycrests this week.
Rhus tox is often known as the chicken pox remedy, with rash, restlessness and hives thrown in. it covers sprains, and pain from over-lifting. The skin or joints feel stiff / often red and stiff. Everything is better after the person is up and moving about. This could also be another flu remedy.
Spongia is a great cough remedy. For a dry barking croupy cough, hoarseness; think of swallowing a dry sponge. Weak chest. Swollen glands and sore throat. It’s so hard to breathe, you can barely talk.
Group 2: Additional Remedies in Feeling Poorly Kit
Arsenicum is the first remedy to consider for upset stomachs while abroad / food poisoning. The person is fearful and worried about their illness and fear they may never recover. Stools are burning. Burning discharges with a runny nose. Also indicated for some coughs and wheezing.
Allium cepa
Imagine rubbing onions in your eyes. This remedy would help allergies where the nose runs and the eyes weep, are sensitive and itchy such as “hayfever”. Throat is red, dry and tight. Violent sneezing. Great for a reaction to chopping onions!
Eupatorium is a great flu remedy – the proper feeling “like you’ve been run over by a bus” type flu. So bad even your bones ache. The head is throbbing and dizzy. There may be nausea with vomiting. Cough with soreness in the chest. Also consider after a visit to the Orthodontist – aching jaw after adjustment.
