Over the last month all 3 of us have been sick at one time or another and are all still tired and not quite ourselves as Xmas is so near I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good tonic that would sort us all out in time for the madness We have all agreed to a week of early nights so thats a start

until someone posts a more technical/professional reply, may I suggest Rescue Remedy? It's only about £5, lasts for ages, easy to take. Worth a try huh?

Berrocca. Its a vitamin B complex and Vit C with magnesium and something else I can't remember too. We swear by it when we are run down. Also pretty good as a hangover cure. Grin

I have never tried Berrocca. Dd and I have been really ill for the last two weeks and dh is desperate to avoid it. Is this it?

Is Minadex still around? we alway had that as kids
normally followed by hefty bowl of heinz cream of tomato soup and hunk of bread - very comforting, then have warm bath and early nights

Floradix - somebody on mumsnet has recommended it before and it is fab. They do a kiddies one as well. Holland & Barrett sell it.

Hope you all feel better soon.

A lot of people do love Rescue Remedy - I have it on my shopping list to buy some! If it's coughs and colds, then echinacea has been well researched.

pinkmama · 06/12/2004 12:04

dh and I were like this a couple of months ago, and we just took echinacea and vitamin c for a couple of weeks and it really shook it off. Hope you recover soon!

Minadex, buy it for the whole family when we have had a run of coughs colds etc.

noddyholder · 06/12/2004 15:02
