Prevention is the best medicine, right? That's probably why the sale of supplements is growing at twice the rate of over the counter products. Today I want to tell you about Soothie Suckers, another weapon to add to your arsenal for fighting winter colds.
Soothie Suckers are an all natural herbal pop available in 2 formulas. One is designed for Nasal Support, and comes in Grape flavor. The other is designed for Immune Support and comes in Orange flavor. Soothie Suckers were born out of a mom's desire to make wellness support herbs more palatable to her young daughter.
Eli was initially a little leery of trying one, since it's "healthy" and not florescent blue like the ice pops he's used to. He said it looked like frozen orange chicken sauce packets (you can tell what's in our freezer regularly). The flavor was not bad. I had a nibble from his pop, and I think these would be a comfort to a feverish child.
While Soothie Suckers contain herbs, such as echinacea, astragalus, thyme, and others, there is NO alcohol used in the extraction of their herbs, which are harvested at their peak, to bring you the best health benefits. They are sweetened with organic agave syrup and monk fruit.
These single dose sized 1 oz. pouches are great for travel or taking on the go. They can be frozen for a refreshing ice pop, or you can drink them as a liquid. You can also add them to tea for an herbal sweetener. They sell for only $9.99/box of 8 pops.
I have a coupon for you, when ordering from their website: HEALTHYFUN (exp. 12/31/14) will get you $2 off your purchase.

I guess if he's smiling, it can't taste that bad. I always think of herbal supplements as tasting terrible, but these look good.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I've had some pretty nasty ones. :D
DeletePreventative care - wash your hands. A LOT. And we ALWAYS use the hand sanitzer at the door on our way into and out of the hospital for all the kids' appointments. No hitch-hiking germs!
ReplyDeleteYes! I was asked if I was a nurse when I went in for adoption fingerprints because I'd "washed away" my fingerprints.
DeleteThese look interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think they'll be soothing on a sore throat.
DeleteSorry didn't include my favorite cold tip. We use zinc when we start to feel a cold coming on.
ReplyDeleteIn lozenge form? Do you have a favorite brand? I like Halls Vitamin C drops (watermelon flavor) but I haven't found a zinc I like yet.
DeleteMy favorite preventive is to quadruple vitamin D intake for a week after being exposed to someone that's sick. It never fails.
ReplyDeleteAs a nurse, I have to say stay home when you're sick and don't ask for antibiotics for a virus. Superbugs are real.
D? Interesting. I usually up our C intake when we're fighting something.
DeleteWhenever I have a sore throat I eat a tablespoon of honey.
ReplyDeleteI need to track down a place to buy local honey again. We used to be able to get it at a local farm, but the little shop isn't there any more.
Deletepeppermint tea and honey
ReplyDeleteSounds soothing!
Deletewash your hands cover mouth when coughing
ReplyDeleteCovering her mouth was the first thing I taught Hannah in China when we met her. :)
DeleteAlways wash your hands and take your vitamins.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vitamin reminder!
DeleteWe love to use zinc supplements to fight colds.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a favorite you'd recommend?
DeleteWash, Wash and wash again

Here, too. I feel like I'm constantly reminding everybody.
DeleteRaw honey and coconut oil are my go tos
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Mixed? Or separately?
DeleteLots of orange juice
ReplyDeleteMy dad used to mix orange juice and ginger ale for me when I was sick as a kid. :)
DeleteMy favorite cold tip is to drink hot tea with lemon and honey. It really helps sooth the throat and unplug the ears. And a good cup of tea relaxes me.
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely! And I just got some new teas. :)
DeleteJust being proactive and practicing proper hygiene skills like washing and using hand sanitizer are good tips that I practice!
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering!
DeleteLots of hand washing and good, home cooked meals.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great point. Nutrition plays a big role in wellness.
