Between seasonal allergies and more time spent indoors in close quarters during fall and winter, colds and coughs are almost guaranteed. But they don’t have to affect your daily routine or force you to miss out on exciting events. Homeopathic single medicines from Boiron can ease a wide range of cold and cough symptoms, such as thick mucus and a runny nose, to help you carry on with your day.
To help make choosing the right medicine for your symptoms easier, American homeopath, author, and mother of three, Joette Calabrese, HMC, PHom M, offers this advice: “When choosing a homeopathic medicine to counter a cold symptom or cough, look for the most outstanding features of the cold to match the most outstanding of the medicine. It takes practice but once you become adroit with homeopathy, you’ll find out just how well it works as an individualized treatment.”
If you are not yet proficient in the art of picking the right homeopathic medicine, there are resources that can help you choose. BoironUSA.com and Boiron’s Medicine Finder provide information to help you decide based on your symptoms. Our YouTube channel also contains lots of information about homeopathy and our medicines.

Intro to Single Medicines series is great.
Thanks Dr. Saini, so glad you enjoyed it! You can find more videos from Joette, including her homeopathic medicine series on our Youtube channel, too.
Hi. I would like to purchase Kali Muriaticum but not sure of the dose. The one I had is a 6c, but I’m seeing there are 12c and 30c. Not sure which one I should purchase. Can you please explain the differences
Thank you,
Bobbi
Hi Bobbi, homeopathic medicines come in several different dilutions. Generally, low dilutions (such as 6C and 9C) are for local symptoms which only affect one area of the body, such as an insect bite or bruise. High dilutions like 12C and 30C are for general symptoms affecting the whole body, like a cold, fever or sleeplessness. This is merely fine tuning, and you should see a lessening of symptoms regardless of which dilution you choose. Kali muriaticum is commonly used for nasal congestion which affects your nasal passages, sinuses, and other parts of your respiratory system. So a 30C dilution would be ideal, but if you only have 6C, then you will still experience relief. If you have any more questions about picking a dilution, we’ll be happy to help.
