Natural Remedies for Cold and Flu

Thanks to Naturally Savvy and Boiron for their item for review. No other compensation was given. All opinions are my own.

Flu season is here, and unfortunately, it isn't going away anytime soon. The only thing we can do is work to prevent our bodies from getting sick and then take natural remedies to help support our bodies if we do get sick.

Now, if you do get sick, the key is in acting fast! You don't want to wait until you are in bed, feeling the chills, using up all the Kleenex in your house. Right when you start to feel that first tickle in your throat, you need to act!

When that happens in our house, I start diffusing essential oils, take extra Vitamin C and Defend and Resist, and then we reach for the homeopathic Oscillo. If you are thinking, "Osci-what?" let me explain. This is a homeopathic medicine that works best when taken at the first sign of flu-like symptoms such as feeling run-down, body aches, chills and fever. Oscillo has been shown in clinical studies to help reduce both the duration and the severity of flu-like symptoms.

 

Oscillo is made by Boiron, which is a favorite company of mine for all things homeopathic. They have been around since 1932, and have been providing safe and natural products ever since. We have been using Boiron's homeopathic products since we started our natural journey 5 years ago, and we love them!

One Oscillo box contains 6 doses. Each dose is packaged individually in a compact plastic tube and is safe to administer to children 2 years of age and older. You dissolve the entire contents on one tube in your mouth every 6 hours, up to 3 times a day. Don't worry, these tubes aren't that big, and they won't fill your mouth with some weird substance. They are just tiny little tablets that you can very easily swallow or dissolve in your mouth.

When you feel those first flu symptoms starting, be sure to grab natural remedies instead of medicines that will just add more toxins to your already ailing body.
