Under the Weather: Natural Medicine Cabinet

I have been sick this past week and am slowly recovering. I should be back to regular posting mid-week. No, I don't have swine flu. I did have strep throat that turned into a nasty cold with coughing and congestion. I have had to restock my natural medicine cabinet. Here is what I cannot live without when I am sick.

My Natural Medicine Cabinet:

Vitamin C - I take twice my daily dose when I'm sick.

Olbas Cough Syrup - I grew up on this stuff and it is the only cough syrup in my house.

Throat Coat Tea - Also something I grew up with and it really helps.

Singers Saving Grace Soothing Throat Spray - If you have a soar throat this is a quick fix that does not taste too bad.

Lemon juice + hot water - this was my standard but TAB kicked it up a notch with the addition of honey. I've been living off this stuff. Check out this amazing kettle/teapot combo called ONE!

Amy's No Chicken Noodle Soup - by far the best chicken noodle soup at WF, believe me, I did a thorough taste test this past week.

Ricola Cough Lozenges - in any flavor. these are good!
