To treat the cold and flu, we: drink lots of liquids, and get extra sleep or rest. If a child is congested, we stand in the bathroom with the child while another adult family member is taking a hot steamy shower. (We don't want to waste water running a hot shower with no one in it simply so we can breathe the warm air!) Breathing the warm, moist air from the shower eases congestion in both children and adults.

I currently treat my sons illness with exstra fluids and TLC. He has not been severly ill so far (knocking on the desk). We hve only had one night of 2 hours of vomiting in 10 1/2 months.
I would like the Alternative cold remedy gift pack.

I would like to win the alternative cold remedy gift pack.
When my kids start showing signs of sickness I do up the OJ serving, make sure I remember their mulitivitamins, and also give them natural remedies by Hyland's company.
For myself I actually do use a Neti Pot and it works well.

When I have sick little ones, we use lots of Vicks vapor rub, hot baths, and our humidifier. Extra fluids, and there is normally some childrens tylenol in there somewhere!!

I put echinacea in their drink at the first sign of a cold. We take lots of steamy baths and showers and my favorite: vicks vapo rub on your feet! Works great!

for a yucky cough, we turn the shower to hot and sit in the bathroom for 15 minutes or so, we also rub children's vicks on the bottom of their feet to treat cough. We use lots of tlc and a lovely "booger sucker".. lol!

We use humidifiers, lavender oil (add some to the bath/humidifier or mix some with a little oil and put it under the nose), netti pot or Sinucleanse (I prefer the sinucleanse to the nettipot, personally) and buckwheat honey. Oh and Emergen-C and the faux Airborne (generic store-brand) to the kids who aren't yet sick. And we all do lots of water.
I think I'd opt for the humidifier. We've wanted to get one for the kids' room.

Right now we have chicken noodle soup, hot tea with honey and on the little one we use organic peppermint oil which really clears her sinuses! I would love to win the humidifier- ours just went kaput and we really need one! Thanks for the chance!
