Uh Oh…You Got the Flu!

I meant to get back on here before and finish up with what to do if you actually get the flu.  It has been a crazy week at the house..

HAve I said that before? Over and over? Every week?

Yeah, I thought so.

Anyway…I have two things to tell you.

First.  I am going to get back here with some detail on what to do and take if you get the flu.  But in the meantime, I wrote an article elsewhere with much of what I am going ot ultimately say here.  Natural Flu Remedies.Give it a read to get some ideas of the herbs that you will want to have on hand..just in case.

Second…You are not going ot believe this, I really never get sick…But between lack of sleep, lousy  eating habits, stress, and spending too much time at the VA with sick people i felt that scratchy throat, stuffy head, burning eyes, drippy nose feeling on Monday.

I had read that at the first sign of a cold you should take a dropperful of echinacea goldenseal and HOLD it in your mouth for 30 seconds to one minute.  Repeat every hour for three days, or as long as you are having symptoms.

I did that and I can tell you that the cold never developed at all.

I use NOW Brand, Echinacea, Goldenseal, and Glycerite.  It tastes pretty good, we use it so I can get it down the kids when necessary and i have always been happy with it.
