1. Force of Nature: The Safer (and More Effective) Alternative to Clorox

When it comes to keeping germs at bay, I want something easy, safe, and powerful—without harsh chemicals. That’s why I love Force of Nature!

2. Oscillococcinum: Homeopathic Flu Fighter

The minute I feel that “uh-oh, am I getting sick?” moment, I reach for this. Technically, it is for the flu but I take it for every single bug in the air. The second it looks like someone around me was sick- I start taking it. 

Oscillococcinum is a homeopathic remedy designed to reduce the severity and duration of flu-like symptoms. I always keep some on hand for those “just in case” moments.

I took at Kanakuk (Kamp I worked at for 2 weeks every summer when B was younger) when we had a MASSIVE pandemic of one of the Flu strands- we also had to close down- I took so much of this everyday- exceeded all of the directions- and I was the ONLY one in the Nursing Center that didn't get sick. Just saying. Could have been the Lord's protection or Oscillococcinum or maybe a mixture of both! 

It is expensive so watch for it at local pharmacies to go on sale if you need to buy it in bulk! CVS and Walgreens usually have it.

3. Throat Coat Tea: Herbal Power for Throat & Immune Support

This tea is a staple in my house, especially when I feel like I need extra immune support! I am actually having a cup right now.

Here’s why I love it:

🌿 Licorice Root – Supports digestion and respiratory health, known for its soothing properties.
🌿 Slippery Elm – Helps soothe and lubricate tissues, especially in the throat and digestive tract.
🌿 Marshmallow Root – Naturally mucilaginous, meaning it coats and soothes the throat, supports cough relief, and even helps with digestion.

I recommend using Throat Coat Tea cold as a daily immune booster if you have a weakened immune system. I steep 5 tea bags in my kettle, pour, and dilute into a larger gallon pitcher for easy sipping throughout the day. Or, you can enjoy a warm cup in the morning and at night for prevention.

🚨 If you have an allergy to plants in the parsley family, avoid this tea. Always follow label instructions! Also, if you want the best flavored one- stick with the ORIGINAL - as seen in the picture.

4. DoTerra’s Breathe Cough Drops: Clean & Effective Respiratory Support

These cough drops work SO well without all the nasty artificial junk! They contain a powerful blend of essential oils:

🍋 Lemon, Melissa, Cardamom, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and Thyme – All known for supporting clear airways, healthy breathing, and calming the senses.

🔴 Reducing inflammation

Bonus Tip: Wash Those Hands! 🧼

I know, I know—this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating! Hand washing is one of the easiest ways to prevent illness.

🧼 Wash with warm water & soap for at least 20 seconds.
🚫 Skip antibacterial soaps—they aren’t necessary and can disrupt your microbiome.
🛑 Be mindful of touching your face, eyes, and mouth when you’re out and about.

Honestly, there are so many more things I would tell you if I thought you would read more - like take Vitamin D3, use Colloidial Silver, and so much more. But head over & join my Facebook Group where we dive deeper! Looking forward to seeing you there!
