It’s been  few weeks we’ve had in the Salmon house!!!

Since the beginning of November, every member of our house has been hit with some level of coughing, cold and ear aches. Some for a few days and others  for literally weeks.

My immunity is probably the highest in the house and I even got sick for 3 days (after boasting that I never get anything and I’d be fine).

We only ever use natural remedies and there are some great recipe you can make to reduce the length and severity of a cold when it arrives, but what I haven’t been focusing enough on recently is prevention.

The whole food diet we eat is a means of prevention in and of itself, but I feel that moving to a new home, new area, being around lots of new people and children and going to so many events and activities since we’ve been here has probably caught up with us (not to mention the everyday challenges of parental and business stress hubby and I are faced with).

So to maintain and protect us over the weekend, I’ll be whipping up a few batches of this amazing immune boosting syrup.
