Indications for Use of Basic Plus Remedies
Allium Cepa
A common remedy for coughs and colds. People needing Allium cepa have a burning discharge that irritates their nostrils and upper lip. There is also tearing of the eyes that does not irritate the skin. These people are worse in a warm room and better in the open air.
This remedy can also be useful for hayfevers where there is burning discharge from the nose and watery eyes.

Colocynthis
One of the main remedies for colic. Babies needing this remedy will bring their knees up to their abdomen, which relieves the pain. The pains are better from pressure and bending double.

Menstrual cramps can also be helped by this remedy, when the cramps are better from pressure, bending double, and warmth.

Also think of this remedy after a bone fracture. Give this remedy 15-30 minutes after an initial dose of Arnica for the pain of a fracture (you must also go to your MD or the hospital). Once the pain and swelling have diminished, use Symphytum.
Euphrasia
Another useful remedy for coughs and colds. People needing this remedy have the opposite symptoms of Allium cepa: they have watery nonirritating discharge accompanied by copious burning tears.
