Homeopathy Treatments for Coughs

Coughs can be caused by allergies, irritants, underlying health conditions as well as a cold. A cold can develop into a cough and a neglected cough can develop into more complicated chest problems. There are many homeopathy treatments for coughs for you to choose from. So what is the best natural remedy for a cough?

These are my top suggestions for homeopathy treatments for coughs –

Antim-Tart
If your cough has rattling mucus then a good homeopathy cough treatment can be Antim Tart. The mucus can be hard to bring up and you will feel really tired and weak and debilitated.

Bryonia
Bryonia is a great homeopathic treatment for cough, if the cough is dry and painful and accompanied by a headache and a dry parched throat. You may feel grumpy, irritated and want to be left on your own.

Ipecac
This is a useful homeopathic cough treatment for a persistent, spasmodic cough with choking, retching and a feeling of suffocation. You may feel irritated, restless and frustrated with your symptoms.

I consulted with Kiran for 3 consecutive rounds and she helped me a lot better understand what I was going through and slowly addressing the various complex issues I had. Thanks a lot

Antonella Di Cillo

I worked with Kiran on her 1 to 1 marketing and business strategy program to support the growth of my homeopathic clinic. In 6 months the progress and the targets I have achieved by following her suggestions and under her guidance have been incredible! Not only from a business/revenue perspective but in the personal sphere. I would strongly suggest to anyone who is looking to learn how to run a successful business to work with Kiran. Her approach is warm and supportive yet highly professional and the wisdom she shares throughout the course is invaluable!

Pritesh

We have been attending clinics with Kiran for a few years now and I can attest it has made a huge difference. We have gone from having to take multiple doses of antibiotics due to tonsil and respiratory issues, to a much improved immune system and general health and wellness. We really appreciate the team’s wide knowledge on various health issues and the remedies suggested have a long-term benefit which has shown in our health.

Kiran - you demonstrate your knowledge and professionalism in all you do and your passion is inspiring!

HANNAH RICHARDS

Kiran really helped me during my pregnancy. I suffered with really bad nausea and vomiting with my first pregnancy and I didn't know how I could face it all again. But the remedies Kiran gave me really made a difference and helped me get through it. Plus her consultations are very helpful and she comes across so genuine and caring. It taught me that Homeopathy isn't just about taking natural remedies. It's the mind as well as the body and Kiran focused equally on these.

Arlene van Tonder

I have for many years suffered with a gut that just 'didn't feel or act right'. I found Healthy Homeopathy online and having never experienced homeopathy before you could say I was a little bit cautious. Kiran has been simply fabulous. From our first introductory call I felt completely at ease. She took the time to get to know me and work through understanding my symptoms and what healthy could be for me. The treatment is structured in a really logical way that helps Kiran work with you on progress and any tweaking that needs to take place. I feel 100x better than I have ever felt before and I feel like so much stress related to my gut is now a thing of the past. I would encourage you to reach out to Healthy Homeopathy – Kiran is AMAZING!

Leena Bhosle

Kiran is one of the kindest and the most patient practitioner. She diagnoses "to a T". I could see results straightaway for something that I was suffering for a few months. Would highly recommend her.

Karina de Souza

Kiran really took the time to identify and understand the cause of my husband and son’s allergies. She diagnosed and prescribed medication to help them manage their allergy problems. I highly recommend her to anyone who would like to try an alternative to allopathic medication. Her approach to your health is holistic. Thank you Kiran.

Dorothee Rubman

I started using Kiran when I couldn’t get the answers or assistance from my GP earlier this year. Kiran was very helpful in my online sessions, applying a very sensitive and sensible approach with great listening skills- i really appreciated our online sessions and got a lot out of them. The homeopathic meds helped me get back some of my mojo and to continue the ongoing improvements in my whole health. I thoroughly recommend Healthy Homeopathy and Kiran.
