The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Cold
I want to share my experience.I get severe colds from time to time. We say that 14 generations of the cold virus attack me. 2 things give me the cold. one is heat and the second acidity.
For heat cold i use Gelsemium 30 which helps. But the experience i want to share is the cold from acidity.
Few days back i went to a party and the food gave me terrible acidity. I felt quite cold for 2 days and the cold started on the 3rd morning. None of the ordinary medicines helped. I took Nux Vom 30, Arsenic 30, but got no relief.
Then i went through the book 'Pointers to Common remedies' by M.L.Tyler. There i saw the medicine Ipecac also helps in cold. Though I had no nausea, I took just a single dose of Ipecac 30 in the evening. By next morning my cold really stopped. Where I was sneezing like hell. 8-10 times in an attack, all stopped. There was some congestion in my head which got cured by a few doses of Kali Bich30.
Hope others who get cold due to severe acidity also benefit from this.

I have Dr Mary Tyler's book ' Homeopathic Drug Pictures ' in my library as well as the booklet you mention This was [and may still be ] available from the British Homeopathic Assoc in London.

There is some problem with the site.Some links are not working.
Any way,I cross checked with the book I have,and yes,Ipecac is there,though it doesn't say 'colds after acidity' particularly.
Any way,we normally don't think of ipecac for colds,and thanks Maya,for reminding us about this remedy.
I will give feedback,after I try this medicine for colds.

I've found that aged garlic is perhaps the best form for getting all the goodness from garlic against COLD , Flu etc...
WITHOUT BAD BREATH!
Is this true? What about garlic products like Extracts, pills, capsules...?
