Euphrasia – if you want to see again? Take Euphrasia. This remedy focuses on the eyes: The eyes are very teary; this can be for colds and allergies too. A great remedy for hayfever. The eyes are burning and irritated and you may have a headache from nasal congestion.
Kali bich – This is our go to for sinusitis, or pain at the root of the nose. Characterised by thick green snot. A ripe cold or one that has gone to the sinuses. A cough with thick stringy mucus. Kali bich is like pulsatilla, the pains can wander from place to place but usually deeper and more intense. Those needing Kali bick may talk in excessive detail about their symptoms.

Nux vom – Always thought of as the hangover remedy, but beware, if your body would be better if you vomited …you will, after taking this. For the feeling of over-indulging (over-eating and full to bursting). Also for that bunged up constipated person. Normally busy type people who don’t have time to be sick. For muscle tension, indigestion. For fussy, colicky infants that arch their back. Consider for morning sickness. “Let it go”
