How to stop a cough fast

homeopathy for wet and dry cough. Banerji Protocol Asthma

Homeopathic remedies are highly effective at dealing with cough, colds and asthma and its chronic effects such as Bronchiectasis.

​A cough is a protective reflex action of your body to try to clear mucus or irritants from your airways. 

Asthma, allergies viral infections and bacteria are all common causes of coughs.

Mainly, there are two types of cough dry or chesty coughs:

  1. Dry coughs do not produce mucus and people may describe them as dry or thickly. These coughs are more likely to be located in the larynx but can also be located in the lungs, they are coughs that are irritating to the lungs and throat.
  2. Wet coughs are those which produce an excess of mucus or phlegm and they are also called chesty coughs. However, a cough in the throat can also be producing an excess of mucus.

REMEMBER WHEN CHOOSING A REMEDY!

Just remember to know what type of a cough you are treating as it will
become important when trying to choose a remedy.

​The remedies we choose, need to have a similar sphere of action and similar symptoms to the ones you have, so if you or your child have a dry cough, you will need to choose remedies that are "dry" in nature for those symptoms.

​On the other hand, you will also need to know if a cough is hacking, incessant, worse in the morning, during the night. Make notes of what is striking to that particular cough.

BANERJI PROTOCOL ASTHMA 
Children
  • Calcarea Carbonica 200 one dose every other day
  • Ipecac 30 twice daily for phlegm
  • Kali Iod 6c every hour as per needed for wheezing
For adults
  • Use Lachesis 200 one dose daily instead of Calcarea Carbonica 


BANERJI PROTOCOL BRONCHIECTASIS
  • Calcarea carbonica 200 one dose every other day
  • Ipecac 30 twice daily if there are phlegms or Hepar Sulph 6c if there is drier cough
  • Aconite200+Bryonia 30 if cough is tinged with blood or there is chest pain. Use twice daily or every 3 hours if needed.
​
​Acute colds and flu can produce coughs that last for weeks, and some coughs are notoriously annoying at night!

If you are suffering from a cough yourself, you will feel grumpy and tired in the morning and if your child is the one with a cough, you will get no rest at night either! 


And the joy of viral infections! they spread like fire so the cough is passed from one member of the family to the next.

There are a large number of remedies that deal with coughs but here are some homeopathic remedies commonly indicated that can help to clear them.

The remedies are the same for children or adults!

​BOENNINGHAUSEN'S TRIO OF HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR CROUP
​

Croup is the name used for an upper respiratory infection accompanied by a barking cough. The child with croup will have a barking cough and might make a rasping noise -called stridor- when they breathe in. 

Croup is fairly common in children that are 6 months to 3 years old and can get parents very frightened because it looks as if the child is suffocating. It is caused by a viral infection that inflames the respiratory ways causing that type of cough.

*if the child is in distress and you do not get relief from the remedies, you should get medical attention*

KEYNOTES OF THE TRIO OF REMEDIES

ACONITE 200
This is always the 1st remedy for the beginning of croup.

The child is suddenly awake out of sleep with that barking cough.

It is dry, loud with no expectoration. The onset of the cough is sudden at night and can also start with a fever.

The breathing is loud, especially the inspiration effort.

This remedy should not be stopped soon or the cough will return the following night.

One dose every 2 hours for a couple of days until the cough is gone.

SPONGIA 200
This one is always coming after ACONITE.

​The breathing is harsh, making a sound like a saw going through wood or a seal bark.

It looks like the child is breathing through a sponge. 

Hoarseness with the cough. The child may grasp his throat when waking up at night from sleep.  

At this point, the cough brings very little expectoration making the chest feel tight.

Cough better drinking or eating especially warm drinks. The cough is worse before 12:00am at night.

HEPAR SULPHUR 200 
This is the 3rd remedy that follows Spongia if the croup is not improving.

The cough at this point will be worse towards the morning. 

The cough will have a certain amount of moisture and  the cough has a "loose edge".

Here must be some looseness of the cough to indicate Hepar.

HOW TO USE THE ​BOENNINGHAUSEN'S TRIO
​

Above are the keynotes of the most indicated remedies in croup and the following protocol, proves to be very useful  This is the protocol as per Boenninghausen's instructions.

The protocol was sold as the 5 croup powders and required to be taken in a certain order: Aconite- Aconite- Spongia- Spongia- Hepar

These are his instructions in The Lesser Writings; O. F. Boenninghausen ‘MY TREATMENT OF MEMBRANOUS CROUP’
​
  1. ​Give Aconite 200 first, this is the first remedy to take from this trio.
  2. Wait and if necessary, give another dose every 2 hours.
  3. After 2 hours give Spongia 200 if needed.
  4. Repeat Spongia 200 after 3 hours if needed
  5. If cough returns and does not change, move to Hepar S 200

​ This may not happen all in a sequence but it can happen in one night, over a few nights or repeated for several nights.

It should improve and each night it should get better.
