SORE THROAT_Homeopathic approach

Signs of a weakened respiratory tract often start with a sore throat. A sore
throat is a sign that the tonsils (or the surrounding tissues), like a guard of the
immune system, are reacting to a potentially infectious agent. The soreness
warns us that we have a diminished metabolism, often caused by stress and
poor diet or other kinds of unhealthy life style, such as abuse of alcohol,
medical drugs or recreational drugs. In other cases, the sore throat is simply a
symptom of weakness in a person suffering from some kind of illness over a
long period of time, such a digestive problems or anemia.
The sore throat may only be a warning of a temporary immune weakness,
preceded by occasional excessive fatigue or occasional indigestion, though it
may be the announcement of some serious infection that is coming up in the
body. The pulse (rapid heartbeat) and the temperature (fever) will indicate
whether infection is present.
THE COMMON COLD
A true cold is an acute viral disease that is accompanied by fever, runny nose,
headache and feelings of weakness and stress. It lasts for a few days and ends
without complications.
SINUS CONGESTION
Another sequel of the common cold occurs when it becomes a sniffle that does
not go away. It also may end as a dry, stuffy nose that makes it difficult or
impossible to breathe normally. This makes sleeping difficult because breathing
through the mouth causes a dry throat and awakens the sufferer regularly
during the night. It is also the cause of snoring during sleep in many people.
ASTHMA and COUGH
If the cold is not an acute attack but the result of some more serious problems,
such as intoxication of the liver, the symptoms evolve into a serious cough and
pain in the chest. These are the signs of BRONCHITIS, which is the acute
infection of the bronchi. Poor assimilation of nutrients from the diet also
contributes to worsening respiratory health.
If neglected, bronchitis often evolves into ASTHMA, which is characterized by
breathing difficulties that may become severe.
