Homeopathic remedies for coughs and colds aim to stimulate the body’s healing response based on specific symptoms. Key remedies include Allium Cepa (runny nose/tearing eyes), Bryonia (dry, painful cough), Aconite (early, barking cough), and Antimonium Tartaricum (rattling, mucus-filled cough). Common remedies also include Arsenicum Album (sneezing/fatigue) and Hepar Sulphuricum.
