Treating the Flu

Here’s a nurse’s tip for stopping the flu in it’s tracks. Boiron Homeopathic medicine makes a great product which is small pellets  that melt in your mouth ( great when you can’t keep anything down).  It’s called Oscillococcinum and can be found in almost any drugstore or supermarket.  It really is a miracle remedy in my book.  I  have given it “off label” for food poisoning and it cut the suffering time to less than half.

For colds, “Coldcalm” helps my symptoms to be in hours instead of days.  I keep both of these products on hand, because especially when the flu hits, you don’t want to find someone to go to the store for you.  There are special formulations just for kids.  If I start to lose my voice with a cold, then I get it right back with this product.
Of course flu/cold prevention is always best, so remember to wash your hands and carry around a hand sanitizer.  Pop a hand sanitizer in your kid’s school backpack. Cough in your arm or shoulder and not in your hands.
