herbal supplementsThis past week I have been battling the common cold. I couldn’t believe it when it showed up because I rarely get sick and when it does happen it is during flu season. This sort of came out of nowhere and didn’t have a chance to get completely wiped out in the beginning because friends from out of town came to visit which meant going out almost every night. Now that they’re gone my body will have a better chance at full recovery. Last night I asked my mom how to cure a sore throat and cough without buying any medicine. She said to look for tea packet herbal supplements to sip on while taking a daily vitamin or herbal supplements rich in vitamin B and C. Taking her advice I made some tea from herbal supplements this morning and can honestly say my throat feels better. I don’t think it is cured but the cough has subsided and I don’t have that itchy feeling in my throat.

Yesterday I went to the movie theaters to see Public Enemies. During the film, I would get that uncomfortable throat feeling you get just before having to cough. Not wanting to cough all over the place during the movie I tried to hold it in. That only worked for 30 seconds before the feeling got so bad I just had to let it out. A cup of herbal supplements before would have probably made things more comfortable amidst such a great movie.
