Headaches and colds
Headaches can also occur repeatedly with colds. In general, the complaints are to be seen as a general symptom and are often caused by the accumulation of secretion in the paranasal sinuses in the case of colds. Possible homeopathic remedies for headaches and colds are Aconitum, Allicum cepa and Dulcamara. Euphrasia, Gelsmium, and Ferrum phosphoricum can also be used. Belladonna and Phosphorus are also particularly suitable.
Which home remedies can help me?
Various home remedies can also help against headaches. The use of essential oils, such as peppermint, has an acute pain-relieving effect. The reason for this is the stimulating effect on cold receptors, which in turn reduces pain.
The application is done by applying and rubbing the oil into the area of the painful parts of the head. However, children and asthmatics should not use essential oils. This household remedy can also help with colds and complaints of the gastrointestinal tract.
Using caffeine as a household remedy can also be helpful for headaches. This is especially true for complaints caused by low blood pressure. A cup of espresso or coffee can quickly help here.
A little lemon juice is often added. Frequent use of the household remedy should be avoided, as the effect will otherwise diminish due to the habituation effect. It should also be noted that caffeine can also act as a trigger, especially for migraines, and can therefore worsen existing headaches.
