Brand of children's drops I use for my kids.

 

Whenever Olivia gets sick which ranges from a fever to a running nose or cough, I always give her echinacea and goldenseal drops to help her immune system.  In my humble opinion, I think it really helps her recover from her colds faster and make her symptoms not as severe.

Home Remedy for a cough

20 Oct

I like to use home remedies before I have to turn to medication so I am constantly trying things out especially now that I have children.  I have shared this with family members, friends and coworkers and as crazy as it sounds it really works.

Happy and healthy living especially as we enter the cold and flu season.  Remember the best prevention is washing your hands with soap and warm water.  Lack of sleep, stress and poor eating habits also lower your immunity.
