Bridge To Wellness

It is that time of the year when it is ‘cold and flu’ season. Having these ‘tools’ in the house are very helpful
to your families wellness during the winter months.
I will write more about these tools in additional posts.

Kold Kare
Mucinex
Vitamin C
Flaxseed Oil
Oil of Oregano
Anti V
Humidifier
In my experience myself and my family has found this herb Guaifenesin very helpful when we are sick with bronchitis. I also find a product called Kold Kare is also good to take when you are sick.
My son also takes Kold Kare during allergy season so that he doesn’t have any allergy symtoms.
The boys take this on their own when they are starting to get a cold. They know this ’stuff’ really works.
Kold Kare is bacteriostatic and virostatic which means it fights bacterial and viral infections.
Traditional cold medicine doesn’t help ‘heal’ you of your cold it just masks it and sometimes does more harm then good.

Here is something that probably a lot of people don’t realize that Guaifenesin is the ingredient in Mucinex and Robitussin. It is technically an ‘herb’ as it is derived from the guaiac tree.

Guaifenesin (IPA: [gwaɪˈfɛnəsɪn]) is an expectorant drug usually taken orally to assist the expectoration (”bringing up”) of phlegm from the airways in acute respiratory tract infections. Similar medicines derived from the guaiac tree were in use as a generic remedy by Native Americans when explorers reached North America in the 1500s, but guaifenesin was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1952. It is sold as pills or syrups under several brand names such as Guai-Aid, GuaiLife, Ethex 208, Humibid, Mucinex, and Robitussin. It is also included in many over-the-counter cough and cold remedies.
