NATURAL REMEDIES FOR WINTER ILLNESSES
As the parents of toddlers, autumn and winter has always posed rather a challenge when it comes to keeping the kids healthy. As the summer holidays come to an end and just as they are getting back into the flow of it all, the first of a seemingly endless series of colds and other illnesses starts. Those once happy little cherubs morph into needy, miserable wretches with snot streaming down their noses stuck at home boring themselves silly and driving us, their usually loving doting parents to drink and distraction.
In an effort to steer clear of the pharmacy as much as possible we started to look for safe natural remedies. Below is a compendium of those that we have found to have worked best for us in the past as well as how or where to obtain them.
Whilst these have worked for our kids they may not be suitable for your children so please use your common sense or talk to a doctor before choosing to try them.

To stop dry cough
A good remedy against dry cough is to mix in a mug milk, butter, honey and then add the sparkling water. The result will be foamy and ready to drink. One mouth full should be enough.
Proportions are as follow:
1/2 mug warm milk
1 table spoon of honey
1 table spoon of butter
1/2 mug sparkling water/soda water
Cough usually stops instantly after the first sip.
