The Flu and You

Apparently flu season is nearly over. I don't follow it so I don't really know but this is what I've heard. And I don't follow flu season because I don't often have a flu or cold....so far.

I have two wonderful sisters-in-law. I had a conversation with one today during which we discussed the fact that she felt as though she was getting a cold, maybe a flu. So I'm making a suggestion, not medical advice of course, but just a suggestion on what to do when you feel a cold or flu coming on. This is what I do when I feel those annoying things such as aching, runny nose, feverish feelings.......remember, its just a suggestion on how to help yourself feel better when you feel as though you're getting a cold, nothing official and, of course, positive feelings always help along with some love and tea with honey (and maybe some Scotch, or Bourbon, up to you). And, if you know someone who does energy work, get it done.

Oscillococcinum

(Oscillo...who?)

Oscillococcinum is an amazing homeopathic preparation which I've been using for several years. Check out the official website for information if you are not familiar with this product. It works! Even if you are in the middle of your cold, my experience and that of many other people has been that your symptoms are greatly reduced. You can purchase this over the counter at any pharmacy. Ask for "Oscillo" since no one seems to be able to pronounce it. Find it here.

Garlic and Red Peppers

Lightly saute' them in olive oil - yes, you want to taste the "bite"

Plenty of Sleep and a Few Good Books

Lots of Fluids

and anything else your mother taught you to do.........

Stay healthy,

Namaste'
