Days to go til Christmas and I have been struck down with a horrible winter cold – which has made me think about all the things we should keep in stock, especially over Christmas when we can’t nip out to the shops for fresh supplies.
. For that early
tickle in the throat – suck Comvita lozenges. I like the aniseed flavoured
sweet containing propolis (a substance honey bees make to sterilise the hive).
I also take Echinaforce Forte – to galvanise my immune system’s white cells so
they’re ready to fight the virus.
. For aches and
pains and shivers, I need paracetamol.
. For a sore
throat, I love Vogel’s Echinacea throat spray. If it’s really bad try Ultra Chloraseptic
throat anaesthetic to numb the pain.
. For a bunged up
nose, add Olbas bath to your tub for a soothing soak, and dot Olbas oil on your
pillow and PJs.
. For my cough, I’m
taking Potter’s Cough Remover – a herbal syrup that moves the cough virus up
and away from your chest; but I also like Kaloba pelargonium – which speeds up
the movement of the villi in the respiratory tract to shift the virus.
I also swear by spicy food for a cold –
to be honest I don’t feel like much else. So it’s curry for us again tonight...
