Has anyone else noticed that this year it seems like the colds & flu are a bit different. They seem to really linger. Just about everyone we know has had a voice hoarseness or outright laryngitis with it. Not a lot of congestion in the chest either, but just enough. Also seems like some stomach issues, with loss of appetite. If you are suffering or think you are coming down with this crud here is what we have been doing...
Anyway we are all doing pretty well overall thanks to some natural products that can be found at most health food stores.
Here are several things to help get over the virus, and continue to keep it in check...
Elderberry, also called Sambucol or Sambuco.
Allibiotic by NOW. This is amazing stuff... an oregano oil blend that is great for digestive issues and immunity overall.
Yin Chiao, a Chinese herbal formula.
Guaifenesin, use this if you have mucus or congestion, but make sure to drink a lot of water. Also called Mucinex.
L-lysine.
Sinus irrigation... I know, sounds bad. I personally like the "positive pressure" style... NeilMed is one. Don't forget the salt packet. Can put some eucalyptus or Grapefruit seed extract or a Tiny bid of Alkalol in it (not alcohol... Alkalol).
Run a steam humidifier, you can put Eucalyptus in it also.
Hope this helps anyone else make it through the season.
What do you all use?
