The dreaded cold and flu season is here – again (!) – so this year, why not take a vow to use solutions that work naturally with your body. Make sure your medicine cabinet is equipped with medicines such as Oscillococcinum® (Oscillo®) and Children’s Chestal®, both from Boiron, world leader in homeopathic medicines.
Nip Flu-like Symptoms at the First Sign
Flu is highly contagious and can put you out of commission for more than a week. There is no “cure” for the flu, but the key is to relieve symptoms that make us so miserable at the first sign. Oscillococcinum, or Oscillo for short, may be difficult to pronounce, but it’s a must-have during flu season. 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 in clinical studies to help reduce both the severity and the duration of flu-like symptoms, helping you feel like yourself again. In one recent study published in a British scientific journal, nearly 63 percent of patients who took 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.
Relieve Your Child’s Cough Naturally and Safely, Without Drowsiness or Sleeplessness
If the common cough is an inevitable part of your child’s winter repertoire, then Children’s Chestal cough syrup should have a permanent position in your home. With no artificial flavors or colors, this honey-based cough syrup is one of the safest and tastiest options for relieving all types of common coughs. Safe for children ages two and up, this non-drowsy medicine 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, thereby making coughs more productive for a speedier recovery. Children’s Chestal can be your little one’s day and night cough solution—calming those dry, fitful coughs that can prevent sleep at bedtime, but without the drowsy side effects that can hamper an active child’s day. In addition to being safe and non-drowsy, Children’s Chestal is also dye-free with no drug interactions.

My Thoughts:
Whenever I'm sick I prefer to try natural products and remedies first before other medications. I learned about Boiron products a few years ago and was pleased with how they are both natural and effective. While pregnant, I relied on Children's Chestal for myself, because of how few medications are actually safe for use during pregnancy. Plus I honestly have to say that it is the best tasting cough syrup I've tried. Currently, we have a bit of a cough and other flu symptoms going around our home, and I was able to get my now two year old to take Children's Chestal without fussing. I also noticed an improvement in his cough after just one dose. I recommend Children's Chestal to anyone with children!
For the purposes writing this review, it was convenient that I was experiencing flu symptoms, especially headaches and fatigue. Since the symptoms provided me with an opportunity to try Oscillococcinum for the first time. One of the things I like is that the tiny pellets dissolve quickly in my mouth. With a sore throat, swallowing a giant horse pill is one of the last things I want to do. Fortunately, Oscillococcinum pellets are easy to take and simple to dose properly, as each dose is divided into its own small tube. Oscillococcinum quickly offered me relief from several of my flu symptoms, including the headaches and body aches.
