Cough, Cold & Flu Medicines
Giveaway
I couldn't have asked for a better time for the Boiron package to arrive. I am SICK!
Boiron has asked me to do a review on their Oscillococcinum, Coldcalm and Chestal products.
A quote from the Boiron website:
"Homeopathic medicines are therapeutically active micro-doses of mineral, botanical and biological substances. Used to treat many acute health conditions, these medicines are safe, natural, and have no side effects."
Oscillococcinum Temporarily relieves flu-like symptoms such as feeling run down, headache, body aches, chills and fever.
Chestal Relieves coughs, Loosens chest congestion
Coldcalm Multi-ingredient formula naturally treats cold symptoms
I am not a doctor, nor an expert on homeopathic medicines. I no nothin !
Homeopathic medicines claim to be all natural, have no side effects and no drug interactions.
All things I appreciate in medicines.
I received the Boiron Value Pack on a day I really needed some help. I have been using every product for 3 days now and I do feel better.
The Chestal cough syrup has really helped reduce my cough and the flavor is fantastic.
Coldcalm overwhelmed me at first, you have to take 2 tablets every 15 minutes for the first 2 hours and than 2 tablets every hour after that until symptoms are relieved. The first day, the symptoms were not relieved at all, but I did start to feel some relief of sinus pressure and reduced sneezing on the second day.
Oscillococcinum was easier to take, 1 dose ever 6 hours. Oscillococcinum is a vial of very small little beads that dissolve in your mouth.
Did the products work? I don't really know. I know I feel better, but is that just the natural path of my flu/cold or did the Boiron medicines really work?
Since I am not a lab expert, I have no way to prove one way or another. I used no other products during this 3 day trial. I basically ate nothing but crackers and soup and did not have any stomach problems taking these products like I have in the past with other over the counter medicines. They did not make me drowsy, in fact last night I stayed up later than normal.
I am all for products that don't flood our bodies with chemicals and synthetic products, we get that from so many other sources in our life. Every precaution to stay clear of chemicals is worth the try.
I would give these products to my kids, since they are natural and have no know side affects I would feel very safe in allowing my children to use them. The boxes all state not to give to children under the age of 2 without consulting a doctor first. They do offer a line of products just for children.
The Boiron website has so much great information and is very clear about all the ingredients in every product and what they do. I found it very easy to find out more about the ingredients with the terminology that they use. I have come across other sites that use so many ingredient names that you can't look up for further information.
