items With cold season upon us here in the states, I've recently restocked my favorite holistic products to combat the most common symptoms. I try my best, pre-baby but especially now, to keep my house and the products we use the most as clean as possible....

"Medicine"
We love this brand in general but the throat spray is a front runner. It comes in a kids version too!
Propolis Throat Spray
Great for congestion! This also comes in a kids version which I love - I keep multiple bottles of this in my house.
Genexa Cold Crush Multi-Symptom Cough Relief
LOVE badger! I used a bunch of their products in pregnancy as well because they are natural and more importantly, they work. This chest rub is a clean version of your ‘vicks’ - rub it directly on your chest for support.
Badger Aromatic Chest Rub, Organic Vaporub
Tastes great, easy to digest/on the stomach. Has iron, zinc and vitamin B - tons of immune support! I keep these in the regular rotation
Propolis + Vitamin C Liposomal
Better, cleaner alternative to your traditional nasal spray! Doesnt burn, works great and I feel great using it knowing its not made with any harsh/harmful ingredients.
Propolis Nasal Spray
At the first sign of feeling sick, we start taking oregano. It's great for immune support and in my experience has worked really well at killing any lingering symptoms that potentially couldve turned into a bigger issue.
Gaia Herbs Oil of Oregano - Immune Support
THE BEST supplement!!! Can not recommend it enough. Take at the first signs of a cold/flu - we've had great success with this killing off any symptoms. Not pregnant or BF safe though from my research!
Source Naturals Wellness Formula Bio-Aligned
Obviously a big fan of this brand if you havent already noticed…these cough drops are great. Ingredients are clean, they taste great and they work!

Things I do in addition to the supplements listed to help care for my body when I feel a cold coming on.
As a mom, I don't always have the time to sit and take a long bath so when I'm not feeling 100, I throw one of these capsules into the shower and it truly transforms it into a spa life experience. Smells incredible and helps me breathe better
Eucalyptus Shower Steamer
Hydrate ….with electrolytes!!! I try to keep up with my water intake in general but especially when I'm not feeling well. LMNT makes my favorite electrolyte packets - I like the rasperry and citrus flavor best but it comes in so many different flavor...
Zero Sugar Electrolytes | Paleo-Keto Friendly Hydration
With a baby, I'm always sanitizing my hands but especially when someone in the house isn't feeling well. I have a bunch of these scattered around the place (in the stroller, in our cars, in my purse…) they dont dry my skin out and they smell great!
Touchland Hand Sanitizer
This is the exact humidifier I have in our bedroom! Works great, lots of settings to play around with but any humidifier will do. This helps with breathing, keeping skin hydrated, etc. - so many benefits. I put a few drops of essential oil (which kin...
Humidifier
Best essentail oil from a reputable brand. I studied aromatherapy when I worked at a holistic day spa back in the day and learned about how important it is to source your essential oil from reputable brands. So many on the market are made with bad/ha...
doTERRA Breathe Oil | doTERRA Essential Oils
Baby + Kid
A ‘clean’ alternative to Tylenol for kids. Been an OG Genexa fan - they make a range of incredible products for all ages that are cleaner versions of traditional medications.
Kids' Pain & Fever Blueberry Flavor - Children's Pain Medicine
A fun way to help your child feel better :) Taste great (obviously tested them out myself first)
Kid's Throat Soothing Lollipops
Love this little kit for my baby! Great to have on hand for the upcoming cold+flu season. Covers all the bases as far as what youd need if they catch a little cold or experience congestion. The ‘breathe’ essential oil is a staple in our house - we ad...
Breathe Easy Kit the SICK DAY ESSENTIALS - Frida
A holistic, clean alternative to traditional cold medication for kids. A great swap for those who want a more natural solution for typical cold and flu relief
