Homeopaths have three croup remedies that have relieved this condition for more than 150 years--Aconite, Spongia tosta and Hepar sulphuris.
Dr. Boenninghausen, a renowned German physician born in 1843, treated croup exclusively with this trio of remedies. 'Hardly one in a hundred children received all three remedies,' his biographer writes, and the doctor successfully treated over 400 cases.
First, give Aconite at the onset of croup.
Here the cough is dry, loud and barking and the child is exceedingly restless and anxious. If, after an hour, symptoms persist, give a second dose of Aconite. This is usually all that is needed.
"If, however, after another hour, your child's breathing is harsh and hard and the barking, ringing cough continues and breathing is still not smooth and easy, give *Hepar sulphuris*.
Here the cough is loose and rattling and deeper toned. Rarely do we need more than Aconite in treating croup.

ReplyDeleteWe have a ton of success with these remedies for Croup--it's worth it--since the $15 you may spend on remedies is less than a co-pay at a doctor's office. My experience has been the doctor can't even do anything accept give cough syrup which doesn't heal--just masks the symptoms. So nice to have a remedy that HEALS! When kids are in preschools/daycares--croup is always a risk (at least for my kids)!!!
