Scratchy Throat (& Tea).

Third week of school and I'm already feeling the beginnings of my obligatory, semi-annual, "working-with-children cold".

As much as we talk to the kids about germs, promote hand washing, and avoid touching our faces..
it seems like there's no avoiding it a couple times a year.

I really try not to take medicine when it's not an absolute necessity. I figure I've had to take enough of that stuff over the last few years, and nowadays, I turn to natural remedies whenever possible.

This afternoon, I turned to a cup of  Throat Coat. Add a teaspoon of honey and you've got yourself the only cup of tea I'll willingly drink. I know tea is cute and poetic and stuff, but I just really don't have a taste for it, hard as I've tried. This stuff is delicious, though, and almost instantly soothes a scratchy throat which makes it even more worth drinking.

Do you have any other home-remedies to suggest for the common cold?
Stay healthy and have a beautiful rest of your week! :)
