It is that time of year again. When fevers start and noses run, and you or the little ones can't sleep. it is flu and cold season. I will list some herbs abd herbal teas to try and help aliviate the problem. Do remeber though that if it is really serious then PLEASE, see a Dr. herbs are great things and do great things but in some cases there is nothing like a docter. Also realize that when you do go to the doctor that you tell him what, if any herbs you are taking at the time. These that I will be listing come from reputable books but you should be very careful when you use herbs. It is to easy to overdose on them. If you have any adverse reactions please stop taking them immedietly.
