This is a letter I sent recently to all my homeopathic clients. I hope it helps!
To All My Valued Clients
The coronavirus pandemic is upon us. However, there is no need to panic, because Homeopathy helps! We have many, many remedies which address any condition or group of symptoms that a person may experience. (Please remember Homeopathy doesn’t treat diseases, it treats the symptoms a patient has.)
There is a historical parallel to be examined. In the flu epidemic of 1918, medical doctors lost 30-60% of their patients. Homeopaths lost only 1%. And those same remedies used 100 years ago are still effective today to treat the coronavirus.
There are 3 levels in which to address CoVID-19: Prophylaxis (prevention), Onset and Active Illness.
For Prevention, it is recommended to take the homeopathic remedy Influenzinum before you have any symptoms. You might take Influenzinum 30c once/week during this time period or 200c every 2 weeks. It will help strengthen your immune system. (Also remember that Homeopathy means “Similar Suffering” and remedies are selected to their similarity to the illness. So, the fact that it says “influenza” and not coronavirus shows that it would be a “similimum” to the disease.)
For Onset, I recommend purchasing Oscillococcinum (Oscillo) at a local health food store or pharmacy. Oscillo is to be taken at the first sign of any flu-like symptoms. I have personally used Oscillococcinum successfully over the years and find that it is like magic how it removes the initial symptoms and restores balance. (Oscillo is packaged in a white box with orange and yellow bands.) “Consecutively since 2009, Oscillo has been named by Pharmacy Times magazine as the #1 homeopathic flu medicine in the U.S.”
To treat the Active Illness, it is suggested that 2 outstanding remedies may prove to be “genus epidemicus” for CoVID-19. Genus epidemicus means that that remedy treats the specific symptoms of the disease and is most highly indicated for a current epidemic. Those two remedies are Bryonia alba and Camphora. Bryonia is quite readily available at health food stores, though Camphora will most likely need to be purchased from a homeopathic pharmacy.
Some of the indications of Bryonia are: deep cough, worse from any motion (in fact the Bryonia patient will hold their chest while coughing b/c the motion of coughing hurts), great thirst and great irritability. A few indications of Camphora are: violent attacks of a dry cough with hoarse voice and fear that they are going to die.
There are several other remedies that might also be indicated. Mercurius vivus, Nux vomica, Arsenicum album, Eupatorium perfoliatum and Gelsemium. Gelsemium and Bryonia were the primary remedies used in the flu epidemic in 1918. If you find yourself becoming anxious about the virus and its impact on our would, there are remedies to calm you down. Aconite, Arsenicum album and Phosphorus might be useful to sooth frayed nerves. These additional remedies are also available at health food stores.
Other supportive products to have are Immuplex and Congaplex both from Standard Process (which I carry) and any of several Elderberry syrup products. Elderberry is a natural antibiotic.
It is also important to note that in the flu epidemic of 1918 aspirin was the medicine of choice for medical doctors and it appears that aspirin was a culprit in making things worse for many sick people. In the same way, ibuprofen has been contra-indicated as a medicine for CoVID-19 patients.
To Review:
Here are the directions for the remedies for the virus
1) Take Oscillo IMMEDIATELY when experiencing any flu-like symptoms, such as an aching, neck soreness, chills, can’t get warm, sore throat. Repeat if necessary every 4-8 hours (6 hours is average). Often, this will wipe out any symptoms and not need to go onto the next remedy.
2) However, if symptoms persist and you begin to develop a cough and/or fever, then take Bryonia also about every 6 hours — more or less frequently depending on the severity of your symptoms. Some of the keynotes of Bryonia are: worse on any motion; great thirst; great irritability.
3) Please contact me with any questions. These are only 2 of perhaps a dozen or more remedies that might be indicated.
4) Remember it might be better to try homeopathy first rather than go to a doctor’s office. Although they can test and diagnose, they don’t have any medicines that work for this virus! Antibiotics don’t work for viruses and they don’t yet have an effective antiviral. However, it may be important for public health concerns to be diagnosed. Please don’t take chances with your health! Self-quarantine if you suspect you have any symptoms.
Good luck to us all. May the virus pass by us swiftly and gently. Most people experience only mild symptoms so hopefully the remedies recommended above will keep us healthy and out of the hospital.
Be Well!

Coronavirus -- pretty scary, but it might not need to be. In the flu epidemic of 1918 regular doctors lost up to 30-40% of their patients. Homeopaths lost 1-2% of their patients. There were a handful of wonderful homeopathic remedies used then, which might be applicable today. Although the "genus epidemics" -- that specific remedy to treat an epidemic -- has yet to be determined for Coronavirus, there are a group of remedies that might be beneficial and would be good to have on hand. They are: Gelsemium, Mercurius, Bryonia, Eupatorium perfoliatum. These remedies are readily available at most health food stores in a 30c potency. Two other remedies which may also be important are Oscillococcinum (nicknamed Oscillo) and Influenzinum. Oscillo is sometimes available at pharmacies like CVS or Rite Aid. Take Oscillo immediately at the first sign of any flu-like symptom and repeat as indicated, about every 4-8 hours. Influenzinum is a little harder to come by, but it is taken before symptoms appear as a prophylactic. Be smart, stay well!
