(hps://homeopathicure.les.wordpress.com/2014/12/storm.jpg)It was a dark and
stormy night; the rain fell in torrents except at occasional intervals, when it was
checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets, raling along the
housetops, and ercely agitating the scanty ame of the lamps that struggled against
the darkness. This is the opener in the 1830 novel Paul Cliord by Edward George
Earle Lyon Bulwer-Lyon, 1st Baron Lyon (25 May 1803 18 January 1873), an
English politician, poet, playwright, and novelist.
The weather does aect our health- some get emotional symptoms, e.g. SADSeasonal Aective Disorder, a type of depression that occurs at a certain time of the
year, usually in the winter. Many get a lot of physical symptoms including u-like symptoms or just
colds and breathlessness.
Let us look at the four dierent seasons that people in dierent parts of the world are exposed to and
how it can aect the health. We shall also see how homeopathy helps to regain the state of health.
(hps://homeopathicure.les.wordpress.com/2014/12/winter.jpg)The new year also
is the time when it is winter in all the countries in the northern hemisphere. In most
parts of the world, there is a dry and cold wind blowing across the land, bringing
with it a lot of health problems. When the colds and fever are as a result of dry and
cold winds a number of homeopathic remedies come into use. (We suspect Santa
Claus must be carrying a set of homeopathic remedies to deal with the cold drafts
and the aending colds since he always seems to be in ne mele.)
Aconite is for the sudden and violent onset of a cold or fever that begins very soon
after the exposure. When given at this time, it will abort the cold. If there is a fever the skin is dry and
hot, the face is red, or pale and red alternately, there is a burning thirst for large quantities of cold water
and an intense nervous restlessness.The symptoms become intolerable towards evening and on going to
sleep.
Hepar sulph is indicated when some time has elapsed between the exposure to the dry, cold winds and
the onset of the symptoms. The person is extremely sensitive to cold air; imagines he can feel the air if a
door is opened in the next room; must be wrapped up to the face even in hot weather. He cannot bear to
be uncovered and takes cold from slightest exposure to fresh air. There is a cough when any part of the
body is uncovered. It is croupy, choking, strangling- a deep, rough, barking cough, with hoarseness and
raling of mucus. The tonsils can be inlamed with a sensation of a splinter, sh bone or plug in the
throat.

Causticum has a cough with rawness and soreness in chest, with inability to expectorate- the sputa must
be swallowed. The cough and irritation in the throat are relieved by swallowing cold water and on
expiration (breathing out). They develop a hoarseness with rawness, and a loss of voice in the morning.
(hps://homeopathicure.les.wordpress.com/2014/12/spring.jpg)The next season
that many dread is Spring. The owers start blooming and it is the season of
allergies.
Allium cepa stands out for spring catarrh. There is an acute inammation of the
respiratory mucous membranes, with increased secretions. The eyes are burning,
biting, smarting as from smoke and they must rub them. The eyes appear watery
and suused; capillaries are enlarged and red and there is excessive
lachrymation. There is a profuse, watery and acrid nasal discharge, with profuse, bland lachrymation.
The acrid, watery discharge drops from the tip of nose.
(hps://homeopathicure.les.wordpress.com/2014/12/summer.jpg)Summer follows
Spring and the heat brings with it its own set of woes.
Bryonia is for complaints when warm weather sets in after cold days; from cold
drinks or ice in hot weather; after taking cold or geing hot in summer; from
chilling when overheated. The cough is dry, spasmodic, with gagging and vomiting
with stitches in the side of the chest. There is a headache as if it would y to pieces.
There is a thirst for large quantities of cold water at long intervals. They are usually
constipated with no desire to pass stools; the stool is large, hard, dark, dry, as if
burnt. However a diarrhoea is also common during a spell of hot weather. All
complaints of Bryonia are aggravated from any motion, and relieved from absolute
rest, either mental or physical.
Podophyllum is also very important for summer diarrheas. Diarrhoea starts early in the morning,
continues through forenoon and is followed by a natural stool in evening. It is accompanied by a
sensation of weakness or sinking in abdomen or rectum. The stool is green, watery, foetid, profuse;
gushing out with a yellow meal- like sediment. There could be a prolapse of the rectum before or with
stool.
Natrum carb is indicated for great debility caused by the heat of summer. It is very useful for the chronic
eects of sunstroke, and they suer from headaches with the return of hot weather. The head feels too
large, as if it would burst. They are also prone to aacks of anxiety and restlessness during a thunder
storm.
In many regions, especially the tropics, Summer is followed by the rainy season (sometimes called the
monsoons). (hps://homeopathicure.les.wordpress.com/2014/12/rains.jpg)
Rhus toxicodendron is for the bad eects of geing wet, especially after being
over-heated. This remedy is useful when the musculo-skeletal system bears the
brunt of the damp weather. They have pains as if sprained; as if a muscle or
tendon was torn from its aachment; as if bones were scraped with a knife. The
symptoms are worse after midnight and in wet, rainy weather. The aected parts
are sore to touch. There is lameness, stiness and pain on rst moving after rest,
or on geing up in the morning. This is relieved by walking or continued motion.
Hence they appear restless and cannot stay long in one position. They may also complain of pain and
stiness in the small of the back which is worse siing or lying and beer by motion or lying on
something hard.
Rhododendron is useful in persons who are worse in a thunderstorm. They are nervous persons who
dread a storm and are particularly afraid of thunder. Acute inammatory swelling of joints, wandering
from one joint to another; severe at night; worse from rest and during rough stormy weather. The
rheumatic drawing, tearing pains in all the limbs are also worse at rest and in wet, cold windy weather.
Dulcamara is indicated when symptoms are brought on or aggravated by exposure to cold, damp, rainy

(hps://homeopathicure.les.wordpress.com/2014/12/fall.jpg)Autumn or fall is the time
when the days are hot and the nights are cold.
Colchicum is the remedy for the autumnal dysentery. The discharges from the bowels
contain white shreddy particles in large quantities; white mucus like scrapings of
intestines. Arthritic pains in joints. The aected parts are very sensitive to contact and
motion and the patient screams with pain on touching a joint or stubbing a toe. Pains are
drawing, tearing, pressing; light or supercial during warm weather but aect the bones
