Colds, Sore Throat, Flu

Colds:

Too much going on at on once. Mental confusion, disorder. Small hurts. "I get three colds every winter" type of belief.

I allow my mind to relax and be at peace. Clarity and harmony within me and around me. All is well.

The Efficacy of Water and Salt Wash in the Treatment and Prevention of Colds and Flu in Children.

According to the study, children in the saline group showed faster resolution of some nasal symptoms during acute illness. For parents who are worried about how to treat children's colds now that colds and cough preparations have been recalled, the answer may be a dose of salt water. According to researchers, fewer children in the saline group had to use antipyretics, nasal decongestants and mucolytics or antibiotics. In addition children who used the salt spray were sick less often and missed fewer school days.
