Well still raining and constant grey skies, with water dripping everywhere we could develop a muddy vision of the world :)

But on the upside it is not very cold!

For alot of winter ailments that develop in this type of weather a great remedy is GELSEMIUM. ( yellow jasmine)

GELSEMIUM is a vine that drapes itself over any structure that will give it support  - trees,bushes, fences etc. This is reflected in the symptoms that we see.

The limbs feel heavyand there is hardly the energy to hold them up or move them.Eyelids droop and it is almost is  impossible to keep thim open. Hot and cold chills run over the body and the face is a dusky pink with a besotted or confused expression.

The central nervous system has borne the brunt of the infecting organism and the mental faculties  show this weakness in confusion and stupor.The lethargy affects them on every level.

Often they are not thirsty.

We are all aware of how important it is to maintain fluid levels and this is especially true when we are unwell. The difficulty is that this is the time when we often do not feel like drinking. There are Electolyte solutions that can be purchased to help maintain these levels. My experience has  been with young patients that the taste puts them off.

A simple  solution I have found is the following receipe

600ml of cooled boiled water

1/4 tspn honey

pinch of salt

Even just  getting a 1/4 tspn every five minutes in very sick children can be enough to help but if possible  at least  100ml within  a 30 min period
