Homeopathic medicines have been used for more than 200 years.  Reliable, safe and chocked full of minerals, botanical and biological substances. Can Nyquil say that?   They also taste a lot better than many over the counter kids cold and flu remedies. Even better, there’s less sugar to keep your little ones awake.  I know what you are thinking though.  Where do you start?  What is what?

Got a cough?  Chest congestion?  Try Boiron’s Chestal.   Flavored from honey this golden syrup eases a dry or wet cough and helps loosen thick mucus and relieves nausea that a hacking cough can create.  My little one slept better the first night we tried this cough syrup and I didn’t have to wake up with her like I did with the conventional over the counter brands.

Mary Poppins was right about that spoonful of sugar.  However, honey in its pure form (for the over two set) is a great way to ease a sore throat.  Add in a warm mug of water combined with freshly squeezed lemon and you have a sweet, tasty drink that will ease a sore throat and cough for your young one.

The power of Zinc is like a super hero just zapped your kids runny nose, sore throat and sneezing.  Hyland’s, a long-standing, safe homeopathic company, cold relief for kids contains zinc.  Individually wrapped medicated strips are easy to administer to your child and portable.  Hyland’s Cold Relief 4Kids doesn’t contain ibuprofen, aspirin or other pain relievers that can cause drowsiness or act as a stimulant in your child.

Whether it is the cold or flu symptoms that have your little one feeling less than their high-energy self trying a natural, homeopathic remedy can not only ease their symptoms and put them on the road to wellness but also give you peace of mind.  After all, when was the last time you heard that Zinc was being recalled?
