Don't immediately reach for "hard" remedies when you have a cold

Now the cold is creeping up again. Colds, coughs and exhaustion are the result of the capricious weather that afflicts us every fall. What helps then ...

As soon as autumn arrives, the drama starts all over again: everyone has a cold. The first symptoms of a cold, such as a runny nose or a scratchy throat, appear as soon as the immune system recognizes the viruses responsible for the infection as pathogens and begins to fight them off. In the case of more severe flu-like infections, this can lead to a rise in body temperature and even fever. If you help your body in good time and strengthen your immune system, you can significantly shorten the duration of the cold or even reduce the viral load to such an extent that the cold does not break out in the first place.

The targeted activation of the body's self-healing powers is and remains the domain of homeopathic remedies. While chemical cold remedies only alleviate the symptoms, homeopathic medicines also support the body itself.

How our immune system works

The immune system ensures that we usually don't even notice the thousands of daily attacks by germs. The pathogens are destroyed by so-called phagocytes and other antibodies, if they are able to penetrate at all. However, everything depends on how well this defense works. A weakened immune system is often unable to stop germs. This is why immune boosters are so useful.
