Winter Essentials- Lungs, Colds, & Flu Remedies

This little natural remedy and herb shop was borne of my desire to find more natural products for my family...and my love of Amazon's free shipping! You'll find my favorite shampoo, laundry soap, vitamins, bulk herbs, and remedies all right here.

Winter presents its own special challenges with health care. Be prepared for colds, flus, lung or sinus support and more with the natural remedies here in my winter essentials shop.

Need some help right away? See below for my favorite homemade flu remedies! It’s what we use and keep on hand so that we can nip things in the bud as soon as we start feeling puny. We’ve had remarkable success at avoiding illness for the past several years using these cold & flu remedies.

To learn more about a product, click the link and more info will open up.

Don’t see what you’re looking for? You can also shop through my Amazon affiliate link here and take advantage of the (hundreds of millions of) items in their database. If you’d like to see an item or three added here to my remedy shop, please drop me a note here, and I’ll add it for you!

My Favorite Homemade Flu Remedies

I’ve shared lots of cold and flu remedies including this delicious warm drink that’s become our family favorite when we start feeling puny: my cranberry spiced cider  Cold & Flu BrewCold & Flu Brew  And here’s a post all about what we do when we start feeling puny during flu season. Here are my best flu remedies (and what we do to try to avoid getting sick in the first place.)

flu remediesI also highly recommend getting to know elderberry herb if you haven’t yet. This is an herb that I can harvest locally and make a cold and flu remedy with it. elderberry-herb

I make a big batch of syrup every other year and share or freeze the extras. I make it in my crock pot, and it’s super simple to throw together. If I can do it, you can do it too! I offer two variations: a very basic elderberry syrup recipe, and a super jazzed up version with other herbs that really gets that immune system pumping. Get the elderberry recipes here. Elderberry Recipes
