Holistic Cold & Flu Season Support: Home Remedies, Homeopathic Brands, and Prevention Tips for Fa...

In this episode, Christine Furman shares what her family experienced after getting sick the week of Christmas—and the holistic, homeopathic, and simple preventative practices she leans on during cold and flu season. You’ll hear practical reminders (rest + hydration are huge!), prevention strategies you can start now, and a roundup of brands and remedies Christine keeps on hand when symptoms hit. She also connects this conversation back to her “pillars” of Home Education with Ease—because supporting the whole family includes wellness, routines, and real-life teaching moments. Join the Conversation: Head over to the Home Education with Ease Facebook Group (  / educatingkidsconnectingfamilies  ) and answer this week’s questions: 1. What are your go-to holistic supports when someone in your home starts feeling sick? 2. Have you tried homeopathic remedies before? What worked well for your family? 3. What’s one “healthy swap” you’ve made (or want to make) when it comes to immune support? Share your answers with the community, ask questions, or DM Christine! Takeaways: 1. Rest and handwashing are two of the simplest (and most powerful) supports when sickness starts. 2. Being proactive matters: elderberry, zinc, vitamin C, hydration, and reducing sugar can help support the immune system before symptoms even hit. 3. Check labels—even “vitamin C” options can include food dye, sugar, and unnecessary ingredients. 4. When appetite drops, it may be your body conserving energy—consider easy-to-digest options like bone broth and applesauce while focusing on hydration. 5. For hydration, Christine recommends coconut water over sugary sports drinks. 6. For fevers: lukewarm baths and gentle comfort measures can support the body as it does its job. 7. Christine shares several homeopathic brands/products she keeps on hand and how she uses them as “better than the usual” options. Quotes: 1. “My goal today is to share holistic remedies with you to help you combat the cold season.” 2. “Holistic health is very important to me.” 3. “We need to rest. That is the biggest thing.” 4. “It is a very simple thing to do… wash your hands.” 5. “Pay attention to what you are buying.” Resources & Links: 🎉 Upcoming Live Class: Setting Your Family Up for Success in 2026, complete this form for more info!
