Delish Raspy Rub Review

When I received a tub of Delish Raspy Rub from Pam as a Christmas present, I'll admit I was hoping to not have the need to use it in the near future! But alas, with cold & flu season in strong form, my hope was not realized. I have had a cold plaguing me for the past two and a half weeks already, but just recently the cough has gotten really bad and I was so uncomfortable...and annoyed!!

It was actually only last night when I remembered that I had this raspy rub. We did have Vick's Vapour Rub in the house, but I usually stay away from that as much as possible. It's just so strong-smelling and sticky.

So as I was putting myself to bed [early] last night, I reached over to grab this new container to give it a shot.

Let me tell you, this stuff is my friend! The very things I dislike so much about Vick's are not issues with this Delish Raspy Rub! The scent is mild - and much more pleasant - AND there literally is no sticky residue left on your fingers after using it. With Vick's I would find I would have to wash my hands like crazy to get all of the remaining "goop" off. You know, just when you have laid down and do NOT want to have to get out of bed again. But with this Raspy Rub, I truly could just apply it while laying down and then stay laying down. For serious! Anything that keeps me from having to get out of bed an extra time while feeling under-the-weather is a wonderful thing!

Ah, but is it effective? you may be wondering. To that I say that yes, I believe it is. It was soothing on my throat and helped me relax. And although my coughing didn't go away - that would be impossible for anything to accomplish right now other than pure magic! - it did lessen and I was able to get a lot of rest.

So thanks Delish - and thanks Pam!!

Back to School... and germs

The Back to School season has come and gone, but have the germs? It is a given that kids will come home from school, daycare and other public places with more germs and viruses this time of year, especially if their bodies are not immune to the new strains that they come across!

Here is a few tips to keep the viruses at bay:

1] washing hands regularly with a toxin free hand soap. Try our Delish Naturals Simply Soap Washing Solution. It is hyper concentrated for longevity. 
2] teach kids & adults to cover the coughs and sneezes! Proper technique is to cover the mouth with your inside elbow. I need to often remind my kids & husband to do that but eventually they catch on again and start reminding others to do so as well.
3] eating healthy! We have taken steps to eliminate 90% of the processed foods normally found in our household. That's right! No more Kraft Dinner - Mac & Cheese for us, we can do homemade though. We have also been buying local produce and meat as well. Only occasionally will we have drinks like pop, iced tea and the like. It is mostly water or milk!

And when they do get sick there are a few natural methods you can take before turning to the cough medicine's and other over the counter remedies.

1] Raspy Rub in the Tin or To Go Stick - Its Vicks without the ick! Pure, therapeutic grade essential oils break up chest congestion, calm coughs, and soothes yucky noses while organic cocoa and shea butters absorb quickly. No stickiness or residue. Simply smooth over the chest, back, throat, or under the nose to provide relief of your cold symptoms. Recommended on 6 months and up, effective for the entire family! For the remainder of the month, the Raspy Rub is also on SALE so be sure to take advantage of that before it's too late.
2] Sore, tired & aching muscles? Leave the *other brand* on the shelf and turn to the Delish Naturals Be Knotty Muscle Rub. Full of organic and essential oils that work to unite your knots the natural made way! For adult use only.
3] Fluids and a LOT of rest! Livestrong.com suggests a wide variety of fruit & vegetables, also probiotics and protein when you are sick. "Fluids help flush the toxins from your body and support hydration while recovering from illness," the Livestrong article says. Choose warm fluids like broth, chicken soup and herbal teas.
