Top Homeopathic Remedies for the Common Cold

Updated: Jul 18



As the seasons change, the common cold often makes its unwelcome appearance. While conventional medicine offers various treatments, homeopathy provides natural and effective remedies that can alleviate symptoms and support your body's healing process. Here are some of the top homeopathic remedies for the common cold that I frequently recommend at Bloom Homeopathy.


1. Aconite (Aconitum napellus)

Aconite is often called the "go-to" remedy at the very onset of a cold. It's particularly effective when symptoms come on suddenly after exposure to cold, dry wind. The person may experience a high fever, restlessness, and a feeling of anxiety.


2. Allium Cepa

Derived from the common onion, Allium Cepa is an excellent remedy for colds characterized by a profuse, watery nasal discharge that irritates the nostrils and upper lip. Symptoms often worsen in warm rooms and improve in the open air.


3. Arsenicum Album

Arsenicum Album is beneficial for colds with burning nasal discharge and frequent sneezing. The person may feel very chilly, anxious, and restless, often moving from place to place. Symptoms tend to worsen at night and in cold weather but improve with warmth.


4. Belladonna

Belladonna is useful for colds that come on suddenly with high fever, red face, and throbbing headaches. The person may have a dry, sore throat and feel worse from light, noise, and jarring movements.


5. Euphrasia (Eyebright)

Euphrasia is particularly helpful for colds that primarily affect the eyes. Symptoms include profuse, irritating watery discharge from the eyes and bland nasal discharge. The person may experience frequent sneezing and a cough that is worse during the day.


6. Gelsemium

Gelsemium is indicated for colds that develop gradually with symptoms of weakness, fatigue, and heaviness. The person may have a dull headache, chills running up and down the spine, and a general feeling of being run down.


7. Natrum Muriaticum

Nat Mur is a key remedy for colds with watery or egg-white-like nasal discharge. The person may also experience sneezing, a loss of taste and smell, and a headache that feels like little hammers tapping. Symptoms often worsen in the morning, from exertion, and with emotional stress. Nat Mur is also beneficial when colds follow grief or emotional upset.


8. Nux Vomica

Nux Vomica is suitable for colds that are accompanied by a stuffed-up nose at night and a runny nose during the day. The person may be irritable, sensitive to drafts, and feel worse in the morning. Overindulgence in rich food or alcohol can often trigger these colds.


9. Pulsatilla

Pulsatilla is helpful for colds with thick, bland, yellowish-green nasal discharge. Symptoms tend to shift and change, with the person feeling better in the open air and worse in warm rooms. This remedy is often indicated for those who crave attention and sympathy when ill.
