tis the season to be...sick:(

My favorite remedies for the cold and flu season:
1. Emergen-C: My all-time favorite. We take it on a daily basis and Fallon loves it.
2. Airborne: You MUST take at the very first sign of illness and be diligent.
3. Honey - a teaspoon to soothe and coat the throat.
4. Elderberry Zinc cough drops by Zand (also available at Whole Foods).
5. The Neti Pot: An oldie, but goodie. You may have seen "nasal irrigation" on Oprah from Dr. Oz. It's true, the Neti Pot is hitting the cold scene -- big. Use it every other day to ward off any allergies, sinus headaches, flu or colds. It's sort of a gross maneuver, but it beats being sick! Basically, you pour saline water in one nostril and it drains out the other. You do both sides - watch it on You Tube. You can order one online or pick one up at Whole Foods.
