On the up swing

We were able to get out today which made a HUGE difference in moods! This week has been really rough and it was nice to see my boy having some fun in the fresh air.

*I feel like our cold/flu came and went quite fast (though we are not completely better). For this one we had lots of VitC and GSE concoctions, tons of liquids (including water, ginger, lemon + honey tea, and the regular nettle, rrl, + peppermint), and wholesome foods. For B we also used homeopathics and rubbed the olbas cream on his chest and oil of oregano on his feet at night. We had the diffuser with eucalyptus going on as well.
Any other tricks that you and your family use for a cold + flu?

I'm the sicky in our family at the moment.
I'm currently thinking of filling a wool sock with rice, zapping it & adding some Eucalyptus oil. Then bed. Glorious bed...Xxx
(ps. I'm gunna pinch your ideas too!)

good to hear you guys are on the up. i tried calling a couple times (no messages). Sounds like you guys took pretty good care. in the early stage of a cold, with a sore throat i like to drink hot ginger tea while in a hot bath, get a good sweat going and then go straight to bed. i always give Arlo echinacea when others around us are sick with colds.
i love the shot with the wool longies hanging down.

I'm glad you are all feeling better :)

these are great suggestions. sorry i can't help! what a handsome little guy you have! how fun!
