Like most parents, we’ve been keeping a very close eye on our tots this cold and flu season and trying to listen to the news in small doses. We need just enough information to stay informed, but not enough to freak us out. We have a small arsenal of herbs and homeopathic remedies at the ready and Oscillococcinum is one of them. We tried it before we had kiddos and experienced great results, now we always have it on hand for them and use it at the first sign of flu. We’re not doctors, of course, but we can tell you what’s worked for our family and this is definitely one of those products. As with most homeopathic remedies in pellet form, Oscillococcinum is sweet and quick dissolving, so our wee ones love it. We’ve seen it reduce the severity of flu symptoms at their onset and shorten recovery time. This remedy is completely kid-safe and can be used on the 2+ crowd. See Boiron’s website for clinical studies, learn more about homeopathy and listen to the “how to say Oscillococcocinum reel,” it helped us a lot. BOIRON also makes a children’s version of Oscillo that we haven’t yet tried. We use the original for our whole family. No side effects or junk. It’s widely available, but just in case, 2/6-pack boxes. $11.51 and up, here.
