This is the time of coughs and colds.

Many people are already succumbing to it. But there is no need to suffer.

There are many good herbs to help you. Many people have Calendula officinalis, garden marigold, growing in their garden. This is a very good anti-viral herb, as is Melissa officinalis, Lemon balm. Add these two herbs together with some Elder flowers and honey and lemon. 1 teaspoon of each Marigold flowers and Lemon balm leaves and Elderflowers in a small teapot, add boiling water and brew 5-8 minutes, strain and add the honey and lemon.

4 - 5 cups Coughs & Colds per day will put an end to the condition within 2 days. This is perfectly safe for children, too.

Sore throat: 1 - 2 teaspoons per cup of boiling water brewed for 10 minutes, strain and leave to cool. This makes a very effective gargle and antiseptic for all pains in the throat, including tonsillitis.

A dry, chesty cough is eased by the antiviral and antiseptic properties of garlic. You might like to try to help a young child by rubbing the soles of the feet with a clove of garlic. The active volatile oil will enter the blood stream and so disinfect the lungs.

Also make sure to have plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables now in order to boost the immune system and prevent the onset of cold and flu symptoms.

love and light
