When the Weather Outside is Frightful... Part Two #Giveaway ends 12/23

Time to stock up for the flu season!
One of the boys called the other day to let us know he was pretty sick and they were thinking it was the flu.

I immediately began thinking that we needed to make sure we not only had childrens medicine for Broxton, we needed to have medicine for the rest of us...

For the longest, I made sure I had age appropriate stuff for them, but then when it came to Broxton, I had no clue...

Now, we have it all!

Last year, Broxton caught something and Marc headed to the store...

He bought some random medicine that I had never heard of, but I tell you what...

It worked for us.

At first, I was so mad that he bought a brand I had never heard of (and it was expensive too!)
but then he explained that it was recommended to him... and of course I did research to make sure it was a known company...

Come to find out, it was Boiron.

They have homeopathic medicines and it just seemed to be a great thing to try.

It worked for us...

FROM THE BOIRON SITE:

"Homeopathic medicines are one of the safest choices for self-treatment. They have no known side effects including drowsiness. Nor do they interact with other medication or contraindicate pre-existing conditions."

Additionally, because homeopathic medicines do not mask symptoms, doctors and patients can easily detect and respond to symptoms of serious illnesses should they arise. For these reasons, homeopathic medicines are an ideal first choice for parents, children, seniors, busy professionals, drivers, equipment operators, athletes, and others.

We luckily have not needed anything yet...

But, we are stocked and ready if the need arises.

We were sent the Oscillococcinum (will be great if any of us get sick!)
I love it because it is in a prepackaged dosage.

You just pop the tube and let the entire package dissolve under your tongue.
I also liked that it wasn't a big pill, nor nasty liquid... It was just these little bitty "pellets."
No more worrying about the incorrect dosage!

Oscillococcinum:
Oscillococcinum works best when taken at the first sign of flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue, headache, body aches, chills and fever. Oscillo® has no side effects, and has been shown in clinical studies to help reduce both the duration and the severity of flu-like symptoms. Safe for everyone ages 2 & up. Suggested retail price for Oscillococcinum 6 dose is $10.99.

The other item we were sent to stock our cabinet:
Children's Chestal Honey.

This is a cough syrup of sorts...

It is NON-Drowsy, so you don't have to worry about your little one moping around more than they already are while under the weather.

BUT, the honey helps to calm the coughing fits so they can have a more restful sleep at night.

Children's Chestal:
Children’s Chestal combines safe, natural homeopathic medicines with a natural honey base to relieve all types of common coughs. It contains no artificial flavors or colors. Children’s Chestal is your day and night solution—calming those dry, fitful coughs at bedtime so they don’t prevent sleep, but without drowsy side effects for the day. Safe for children ages 2 & up. Suggested retail price for Children’s Chestal 4.2 fl oz is $6.69.

Please remember, I am just sharing products with you.
