        Hi there.. I am a Newbie.. I have a house full of sick people , myself,  my husband, our 18 and 15-year-old all have a nasty head cold. I have purchased quite a number of herbs, but I’m not confident enough to know what to give people. I would really appreciate any help and advice. Kids take no medication, my husband takes 10 mg statin, i take 100mg of Sertraline. Thanks so much

          What is it that you have? My wife was recently sick with a cold and I made her a tea of mullein leaves, peppermint, and rose hips. I also occasionally threw in a couple of black eyed susan heads since I didn’t have any echinacea. I made that maybe 4 times a day for her and she didn’t have very bad cold symptoms at all and got her over it in less than a week.

          Since starting this class, I’ve had calendula on hand and every time I started getting the sniffles, I ate a couple of calendula flowers and the cold never caught.

            I like to have Elderberry syrup on hand.
