http://www.oscillo.com/flu-trackerCold and flu season is no fun when you have a large family. It seems like as soon as one child is getting over something another child is getting it and it is just a vicious cycle that continues over and over. What is really bad is when Mom or Dad gets sick too!
The last couple of years we have been trying to stay one step ahead of these yucky bugs. We don’t really like to give our children antibiotics and other medications on a regular basis. I would much rather try my own natural remedies before turning to the stronger stuff that doctors often prescribe.
We have been using products made by Boiron such as Oscillococcinum (Oscillo) and Children’s Chestal. These are both homeopathic medicines that I feel safe using on myself and my children.
Flu is a highly contagious illness that can put you out of commission for more than a week. There is no real cure for the flu. The best thing to do is to relieve symptoms that make us so miserable right when they start. Oscillococcinum (let’s just call it Oscillo because it is a mouth full and a lot to say) is a must-have during the flu season (at least in my house!) The moment you start to feel achy or run down is when Oscillo can start working naturally with your body to relieve flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue, headache, body aches, chills and fever. Oscillo has been shown to help reduce both the severity and the duration of flu-like symptoms, helping you feel like yourself again in no time at all. Why not shorten your sickness? I have to admit that while we are still getting sick, when we take Oscillo our sicknesses seem to be shortened. We have continued to purchase it and will continue to tell friends and family about this great product.
Oscillo within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms showed a “clear improvement” or “complete resolution” in as fast as 48 hours. Oscillo has no side effects and is packaged in individual doses, so it’s easy to carry with you and take as you need it. It’s sweet-tasting, melt-away pellets dissolve quickly under the tongue and require no water, chewing, or swallowing, and it’s safe for ages two and up. My boys don’t care for other medicines and often fight me when I say it’s time for medicine, however when I offer Oscillo to them they come running! The funny thing is that they have renamed it “Awesome-Cillo!”
I love that this is a product that is safe for almost everyone in my family to take, but not just that, they all love taking it! They ask for the little ball medicine (their words, not mine) because it tastes better. No more fighting my kids to get them to take some yucky tasting medicines=Happy Mom!
The other product we received for review is Children’s Chestal cough syrup. This is a natural cough medicine that does not cause drowsiness or sleeplessness. There are no artificial flavors or colors in this honey-based, safe cough syrup. Not only does this syrup help relieve a cough, but it tastes much better than most products and it contains honey, which is full of probiotics. This product is safe for children ages two and up. It works by coating the throat with the sweet, natural goodness of honey, temporarily soothing throat irritation, while its blend of safe homeopathic medicines loosens chest congestion, making coughs more productive for a speedier recovery.
