Winter sicknesses are here. I've got a cold, my dog has a cold, so here are some natural remedies for common illness symptoms. Personally, I'd rather avoid medications if possible. Not to say there isn't a time & a place, but if I can drink tea instead I will!
I am not a doctor. I don't know your health history. I don't know your family's health history. Always do more research before you take any medications or try different remedies.
Fever:
Drink H2O
Apple Cider Vinegar - soak a cloth & place on forehead or add to bath
Epsom Salt Bath farmersalmanac.com/10-natural-way…

The health benefits of GINGER seem endless! It halts the growth of bacteria like E.coli and shigella and may keep viruses like RSV at bay. It's also an anti-inflammatory. webmd.com/diet/ss/slides…
LEMONS have been found to support your heart health, weight control, and digestive health. They're a good source of vitamin C & the critic acid may help prevent kidney stones. Also, lemons can ease cold symptoms. howtoripe.com/health-benefit…
And remember, just like medications don't produce the same results in all people, these natural remedies may not have the same effects for you that they do for someone else.

"Every report investigated this year has been deemed “non-credible.” Whether the statement was made “jokingly” or with intent to do harm, if investigators can prove that a student made the post or comment, Moore said they will be charged with a felony."
Most of us know the feeling of hating going to school. For me, that started in 2nd grade with spelling test anxiety. I was convinced I was never going to learn to read or write. A string of infections & a tonsillectomy made it even harder for me to keep up!
The system had nothing in place for me or my brother, for whom they missed dyslexia. I learned to read on my own time, in my own way. School, in fact, held me back. My brother as well, who ultimately learned to read through video games.
