herbal supplementsThe sickness of the month award goes to an itchy, coughing throat for November. Two of my friends and my roommate all have been coughing away after catching a cold bug. I have avoided them and so far avoided anything serious but not before spending a day in their shoes. I woke up like any other morning but on this one I immediately felt like I needed a glass of water to clear my throat. After taking one down, I got in the shower and kept coughing. Not being able to afford getting sick, I went with a traditional herbal supplements blend my mom had taught me about growing up.

It comes in tea packet form which includes some random herbs and then you add honey. It is a really simple tea but one that works like a charm for curing an itchy throat. After taking down a few cups of the steaming elixir, I felt better. Throughout the day I made more of the herbal supplements tea when needed and come the next morning felt 100 percent. It is pretty amazing what simple herbal supplements can do when trying to beat a cold.
