This week we’ve been fighting the sniffles! Now a days, it’s a touchy subject when you say you’re not feeling well! But, we are taking the same precautions that we’ve done in the past. And I thought it would help someone else who is in the same boat!
First, my husband was feeling a little sore throat starting, then he got the head cold. Then, the kids were getting all stuffed up! And, now I’m feeling the results from the “gift that keeps on giving”.
Here are just a few of my favorite Home Remedies that help our family get back to health in no time! My husband said after two days of using these remedies, his sore throat was gone and he was feeling like normal! I call that a win!!
I LOVE this syrup!! I start giving my family this syrup with the first signs of a cold or other “bug”. It’s a great immune booster and I’ve noticed it helps decrease the duration of a sickness. And the taste is actually good! Now, the Apple cider vinegar may throw off your tastebuds. But, after the first taste, it’s really not bad. My kids happily swallow it down and never complain. I’ve found it on Vitacost.com (which is where I get most of my vitamins).
Here is the link to help you find it:

Our other “go to” remedy is Vitamin C. I really like using this brand, but you can also you EmergenC packets that are easily found at Walmart or Meijer. I also like how it’s higher in milligrams than most chewable vitamin C I’ve found. It has electrolytes that support hydration, which is important when your body is fighting a sickness. To stay hydrated is an important key to getting back to health fast! You can also find these on Vitacost.com

Speaking of staying hydrated! This tea is so mild and yummy! It’s easy to drink this tea even on an everyday basis. It has a mild peppermint flavor as well as has some really good herbs to support your immune system! I usually make a quart or 2 at a time drink a cup in the morning and at night. My kids also love the taste of this tea which I love!

My absolute favorite home remedy is Homeopathy!! Now, I know that not everyone is going to be on board with me on this, but I do believe that Homeopathy has so much to offer our bodies towards healing and wellness.
One misconception about Homeopathy is that it’s not effective. But, Homeopathy simply works with your body to treat the underlying issue. It targets the root of the problem, so to speak. There is so much that I could say about Homeopathy, but I will save that for another day!
Quickly, I’ll mention the main highlights of these cell salts. #4 ferrum phos acts as an oxygen carrier. So any type of injury or sickness, #4 is a great start to healing. It’s also great for fever.
#5 kali mur is great for any type of sore throat or earache issues. There are other characteristics that can pair with #5, but for now I’ll just mention these two.
#9 nat. mur is for anything involving water. So nasal discharge or watery eyes? This is what you need. Water retention is also a main characteristic for #9.
#11 nat sulph aids the liver. So we use this to fight against the flu. We’ve found that if we do end up getting the flu, it does not last more than a few hours. It passes quickly!

I hope this helps you and your family! It’s so important to help our bodies fight the things that life throws our way and not drive those problems further. Thanks for stopping by!
Stay Well,
