It’s cold and flu season again. And while I’ve known many people who’ve been beaten down this winter with some sort of nasty bug, nothing has hit the DeForbes household. I think it’s a combination of Law of Attraction thinking and turning to natural remedies at the first sign of problems.
Below, I’ve compiled a roundup of natural cold, cough and flu remedies from my fellow bloggers. Some I’ve tried, others I plan to try. Bookmark this page and use it as a resource for your wintertime medicine cabinet.
