Boiron Winter Well
Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. 
Being sick in the winter is just something that I expect with three children. I often find that the boys are coming down with something: runny nose, cough, sniffles during the winter months. But when I look for something to treat their minor symptoms, I am sometimes hesitant of giving them serious medicine to help them feel better. Homeopathic medicines are something I had heard of but have never been fully introduced to. I had the opportunity to attend a Boiron Cold & Flu event held at the Washington Market Pediatrics office and hosted by Brianne from Stroller In The City where I was given an informational introduction and took away some great tips for preventing and caring for my children’s winter sicknesses.
The pediatricians stressed the importance of regular and thorough hand washing to help avoid winter germs as well as getting your annual flu shot, which can greatly reduce your chances of getting the flu.
Boiron representatives were on hand to briefly explain the benefits of using homeopathic representatives which utilize a combination of herbs/plants/minerals work in conjunction with the body to treat some common conditions. A few of the Boiron products I will be utilizing this winter are:
-Oscillococcinum: Temporarily relieves flu-like symptoms such as body aches, headache, fever, chills and fatigue (can be used by adults and children ages 2+)
-Children’s Chestal Cold & Cough:Temporarily relieves symptoms of the common cold such as nasal and chest congestion, fitful cough, sneezing, minor sore throat, and runny or stuffy nose (can be used by children ages 3-12)
-Children’s Coldcam Pellets:Temporarily relieves cold symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion and minor sore throat (can be used by children ages 3+)
