245/365: "Homeopathy is the safest and more reliable approach to ailments and has withstood the assaults of established medical practice for over 100 years." ~ Yehudi Menuhin

Last night I had a hard time sleeping and spent hours trying unsuccessfully to get my rest. This morning I felt horrible and had a cough developing. As I went downstairs, I thought that my remedy could also be my Picture of the Day! So I grabbed my camera and went into the kitchen, grabbed an Airborne tablet, plopped it into a pretty glass full of water and took pictures as it fizzed and bubbled away into a tasty, citrus-flavored drink. After I got my pictures, I downed the glassful and immediately started to feel better.

I'm the first person to be suspicious of something that sounds too good to be true. I always thought homeopathic medicine was a joke and a waste of money--snake oil, as it were. But a friend recommended I try it the next time I felt a cold coming on, so I did. Darn if it didn't work! I couldn't believe it!! How can non-traditional medicine actually work?! But lo and behold, it does. My husband and I use both Airborne and Zicam (also homeopathic) for colds and they are amazing. The extra vitamins in Airborne also give an extra boost and make me feel good right away. When we feel flu coming on, we take Oscillococcinum, and it's like magic! Since we found out about these remedies, we are very rarely sick. Although there is a strong debate about homeopathy for treatment in sickness, I would have to say that in the case of cold and flu, homeopathy does work! :)
