Cold & Flu essentials
This time of year can be a little tough as everyone goes back to work and the kids go back to school, so the germs come home and spread! Yikes! I don’t like using prescription drugs only holistic methods in this house. I wanted to share with you what I’ve been using over the past few days to keep this fever under control and stop it taking over my life. Introducing my Cold & Flu essentials!
HOT water, HOT WATEr and...

Stop the cold and flu before it even begins!! You can boost your family’s overall immunity with this immune boosting blend!
