Cold Season has arrived at our House

It's here
I noticed girly
coughing just a little
then it showed it's ugly face
the terrible coughing
nose running
crabby
cold

I give advil
but I try very had
to work with
natural remedies
here are all my concoctions

So the bowl
is cut onion
I put that in
girly's room
while she sleeps
Immune booster: The pungency increases blood circulation and causes sweating. Useful in cold weather to ward off infection, reduce fever and sweat out colds and flu.

Tea Tree Oil
I LOVE IT
it's so good
for so many
different things
for colds
I put 10 drops
in the humidifier
If you have not
used Tea Tree
or never heard of it
you really must research it
here are a few links

Organic Facts
Alternative Medicine

I use Eucalyptus Oil
mixed with a carrier oil
I used Almond Oil
when using Eucalyptus Oil
it's recommended that you
do not use it full strength
but rather mix it with a carrier oil
I used Almond Oil
you can also use Jojoba Oil

Ginger Tea with Honey
it has a bite
but it truly does help
to sooth a sore throat
it's just hard to get
the kidlets to agree
I generally ad just
a little to their
watered down juice
To make the Ginger Tea
I smash up a bunch of Ginger root
and boil it in water for about 20 minutes
then we drink it with plenty of honey

I also make
a homemade cough syrup
for my kidlets
I'll post that
in a separate blog post
so keep your eyes open for it

I am by no means
an expert in any
natural remedies
nor can I say
100% if they always work
your doctor will tell you
they don't work, most likely
I don't agree
but I feel it's good to try
and I know for my kids
some of them are working
I highly recommend
Tea Tree Oil for
so many uses including colds
and I have had great
success with the
Eucalyptus Oil
But you need to research
and find what works
in your house

Happy reading and searching
for your natural cures!
