Yesterday, I received an e-mail from my daughter's school with all the forms I need to submit, lists of gear she'll need to keep her warm during outdoor play, and a lovingly written reminder to keep sick children at home.
That last part really got me...
I'm just not ready for cold and flu season. Not even close. I want to hang on to this blissful summer (it's been a healthy one, for the most part, for my children). But I will endeavor to be an adult about this.
This blog post from Rachel at LuSa Organics, one of our manufacturers, reminded me to begin putting together a home health kit. The post focuses on whooping cough remedies, but a lot of the remedies are good for overall immune support.

Aviva Jill Romm's book also has a great list of herbs and remedies to have on hand. I love this book and have consulted it many times. I mean, a bag of heated salt as a remedy for nausea? I never would have guessed.
Stay healthy this winter!
