A couple of weeks ago, Russ came home from work sounding like that guy from the Allstate commercial. His voice was a couple of octives deeper than usual and he had all the signs of a nasty cold with all the promising congestion, fatigue, and general yuckiness that comes along with it. I knew that it was only a matter of time before me and the little guy caught it as well, so I focused on protecting our immune systems. Cold Calm by Boiron is a great homeopathic remedy that can stop those colds dead in their tracks if taken at the first signs of stuffiness.
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine, is a medical philosophy and practice based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself. Homeopathy was founded in the late 1700s in Germany and has been widely practiced throughout Europe. Homeopathic medicine views symptoms of illness as normal responses of the body as it attempts to regain health.
Homeopathy is based on the idea that “like cures like.” That is, if a substance causes a symptom in a healthy person, giving the person a very small amount of the same substance may cure the illness. In theory, a homeopathic dose enhances the body’s normal healing and self-regulatory processes.
Buy it here at my Amazon Store
You take this product at that first feeling of, “hmmm, my throat feels funny”. In the beginning, you take it every 15 minutes until the symptoms subside and then every couple of hours after that. It is safe for children and very mild, so no side effects. Within 2 hours I was feeling 100% again, and Collin and I never came down with the bug. This is a must have for your medicine cabinet or to keep in your desk drawer at work this cold season!
Note: They also make a version of this for the flu, I literally buy this in the bulk size!
