When Mold Takes Hold
Living in the desert, we don’t have a lot of mold. But, I learned this morning about the mold in our camper. I knew we had a leak and I knew we had some water damage but I thought it had dried out. Well, this explains why my nose goes crazy whenever we go on a trip. I thought it was just the dryness and the higher altitudes we generally visit.
So, what’s the homeopathic answer?
Nat sulph.
In terms of allergies, the keynote symptoms of Natrum sulphuricum:
Symptoms are worsened in the damp weather
There is copious expectoration, which may be greenish in color
Thick nasal discharge
Tenacious throat mucus
There may be a desire to take deep breaths, but breathing may be difficult.
Typical hay fever symptoms
Loose cough
Bronchitis
Dry mouth
With all these symptoms, the person may feel better in outside open air.
I used Nat sulph 6x to very good effect many years ago when we were in a rental house which we did not know was full of mold behind some big, thick curtains in the bedroom. I thought I was coming down with a nasty bug. Then, I went outside and lo’ and behold I felt much better. Next morning, I thought I was getting sick again. Same thing, went outside and was instantly well. Then we found the mold. Then I took the Nat sulph and managed the rest of the trip just fine.
Nat sulph is one answer to dealing with acute symptoms resulting from mold. If you find you are unable to address your mold symptoms on your own, it may be that you need to work with a professional homeopath to get to the root of the problem.
As we head into winter, if you are suffering in the damp and cold, think of homeopathic Nat sulph.
