ProudGrandma Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 We all have head colds at our home...mine is really dragging me down. Although, I hated doing it, I used Afrin this morning at 7 and about 3 hours later it wore off (it is supposed to work 12 hours...which I have had success with before)....and I do want to use as few chemicals as possible..any suggestions for me???

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 echinacea tea (you can usually find the Traditional Medicinal brand at the grocery store helps to build your immune system and lessen the length of a cold. In many health stores now they have a small homeopathic kit marked "colds" that has just remedies for cold symptoms. And there is that old stand-by - Vitamin C. I dose my kids with 1000 mg and adults with 2000 mg. If someone gets diarrhea at that dose, back off a bit. Vitamin A & D also help you to not get colds as often.
