Homeopathy and Long Covid

Covid rocked our world in 2020 and for some of us the effects of Covid linger. Can Homeopathy help?

YES! Homeopathy has great remedies for covid and the lingering effects of long covid.

Note: This blog post is focusing more on covering the effects of long covid for those who did not get the vaccines, as a different approach is needed if vaccines are in the picture. As in that case, clearing and detoxing is needed along with making sure detox pathways are open.

There are a few protocols that I have found very helpful in dealing with long covid or side effects of covid vaccines. To learn more, book a 15 min chat with me here.

Now, let’s get into some specific remedies to consider to help with lingering effects of long covid. There are quite a few that I have found handy for long covid and will group them in catogories.

Other factors to consider

• When dealing with long covid, please make sure detox pathways are open.
• While these remedies are a good start, look into doing a homeopathic detox with a homeopath that specifically targets your lingering issues.
• It may take time and extra rest, along with some lifestyle changes.
