I am both a touring musician and a substitute teacher. Keeping healthy is key.

Boiron, Oscillococcinum, Single Dose Tubes, Flu-Like Symptoms, Ages 2+, 30 Meltaway Pellets , 0.04 oz (1 g) Each

On top of the earlier story, it's great to have the combo pack. Three pellets under the toungue, and put the gel directly on the affected area.
Boiron, Arnica Gel & Oral Pellets Value Pack, 2 Count
I put the gel on the affected area: Sprained ankle, broken nose (yep!), bruises of all kinds. I also take 3 of the arnica pellets under the toungue. Lately, I have been using a bit of Arnica gel with the ultra sound for my ankle.

If you are accident prone like me, the bigger size gel makes sense. I put it directly on the affected area: Bruises, sprained ankle, black eye from broken nose.
Boiron, Arnicare Gel, Pain Relief, Fragrance-Free, 4.2 oz (120 g)
When my favorite Natureade cough syrup stopped producing, and was out of stock, I tried this. It's something I can take just a spoonful daily to clear out my lungs.
Herbion Naturals, Cough Syrup With Honey, Alcohol Free, 5 fl oz (150 ml)
Good product, but you can only get it for like a month out of the year. Hit the NOTIFY ME button. In the meanwhile, go to my herbion link.
Naturade, Herbal EXPEC With Ivy Leaf & Thyme, Natural Cherry, 8.8 fl oz (260 ml)
Tasty immune support. Best taken when you think something is coming on, but take it throughout the duration of a cold.
Quantum Health, TheraZinc®, Elderberry, Raspberry, 60 Lozenges
I started taking this in January when I had a cold, and I caught a sale. Ester C, as mentioned here, is the most easily absorbed. This also comes with Zinc, Vitamin D and Elderberry, all vital for immune support.

This is the original “Icy Hot” for pain. Roll on the clear liquid for muscle soreness, knots…it might also clear your sinuses in the process :)
