Homeopathic Medicine Cabinet Makeover for the Holidays from Boiron

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I have been down with a nasty cold this week, which is more than a little disconcerting during a pandemic, but it naturally had me running to my medicine cabinet for relief. This also got me thinking about the arrival of cold/flu season, and the upcoming indulgences associated with the holidays, and the types of products that I stock in my medicine cabinet this time of the year. I have selected products that I use when I get a cold/flu, seek relief for sore muscles, and this season I have a few products that I will try in case my holiday food indulgences cause any discomfort. The fine people at Boiron sent me old favorites, and product that I have never tried, and I thought that I would share my medicine cabinet makeover featuring their products.

I have always had a few Homeopathic remedies on hand, since I grew up using some of them, but I also use traditional over-the-counter cold medications when needed.

I should note that I am neither a medical doctor, nor am I suggesting that you use these products. They are simply some of the products that I have on hand this season. Furthermore, if you are not feeling well, you should consult your medical doctor. Additionally, since we are in the midst of the Covid pandemic, it is a good idea to reach out to your doctor if you have any symptoms since there are lots of cold and flu symptoms that these regular seasonal illnesses share with Covid. The second that I caught my bug, I contacted my doctor.
