Homeopathy is a gentle system of medicine that
uses the body's natural processes to heal itself
|
|
Norovirus
Help |
|
|
|
The Royal College of General Practitioners urge
sufferers of the norovirus - the winter vomiting
bug to stay away from surgeries and hospitals. |
|
|
As doctors estimate more than 100,000 people a
week are catching the virus(1),many patients are
turning to alternative medicine for a solution. |
|
|
The effects of the bug, which causes diarrhoea
and vomiting, with some people also suffering
from fever and flu-like pains, can be eased with
homeopathic remedies and the process of recovery
speeded up. |
|
|
In homeopathic medicine, the symptoms as they
are experienced by the individual are taken into
account to help find the best remedy. How the
patient feels in themselves is also taken into
account. |
|
|
|
Because remedies are non-toxic, they are
suitable for use by people of all ages,
including babies and pregnant women. |
|
Homeopathy is patient centred
and remedies are prescribed to suit the
particular individual and their set of symptoms. |
|
There are many possible remedies that could help
symptoms of sickness and diarrhoea and expert
help is best. Any persistent symptoms should be
seen by a doctor. However, here are a few
remedies that might be useful and are easy to
find in chemists and health shops. |
|
|
|
| Gelsemium:
|
| a very popular flu remedy.
Symptoms come on slowly, with
intense weariness, aching in the
muscles, chills up and down the
spine, hot flushes, sticky skin,
acute nasal discharge and sneezing.
The patient wants to be left in
peace, has a feeling of instability
and feels better for sitting still
with the head propped up. Nausea and
burning in the stomach, with sour
belching. Diarrhoea and wind. |
| Arsenicum:
|
| alternating between vomiting and
diarrhoea, with a burning pain after
stool. Aggravated by sight, smell or
even the thought of food. Exhaustion
which can be sudden and extreme.
There can be a faint feeling, with a
fever alternating chills. Very
thirsty for sips of water. Worse
after midnight. There might also be
a restlessness anxiety not easily
reassured. |
|
|
Phosphorus: |
| great thirst for water and ice
cold drinks but vomits up shortly
afterwards. Vomits even the smallest
amount of food and drink. Diarrhoea
gushes out painlessly. Wants
sympathy and reassurance. Exhausted.
|
| Nux vomica:
|
| constant nausea with lots of
saliva and inability to vomit, with
retching. May feel faint, with
headache. Maybe a bloated feeling
with belching and heartburn. Chilly
and irritable. |
| Ipecac:
|
| violent and persistent nausea,
worse at night. No relief from
vomiting. Worse for any movement,
after eating and for smell of food.
Hot or cold sweat. Chills, pains in
bones as though torn to pieces.
Often with a cough, but mucus
difficult to get up. |
