Nature's Way Cold Relief Hot Drink, Homeopathic, Clinically Proven Pelargonium Sidoides 1X, for Cough, Congestion, Sore Throat, Stuffy Nose, Lemon Flavored, 10 Packets (Packaging May Vary)

I'm a believer in medicine. Give me all the over-the-counter stuff you have to make me feel better. And yes, I'll go to my doctor when it gets bad and let him write me a prescription. I'll be honest, I'm skeptical about homeopathic options. However, my five-year-old is the worst medicine-taker (tried all the tricks!) so I worked my way to the homeopathic category.She tried the Umcka cold relief packets and actually liked the taste! So much that she asks to take it when she starts to not feel well. It seems to help her, so major win in this household. Of course I was out of Umcka when she woke up with a runny nose earlier this week. Unfortunately our Target doesn't have Umcka on the shelves, so I needed to order through Amazon same-day, which meant hitting the $35. I took a gamble and decided to give the ColdCare a shot because my throat was starting to feel a little scratchy too.It comes in a little powder packet, and you mix it with water. I wouldn't drink it for fun, but it does taste good enough that I don't dread it. I'd compare it to slightly sweetened lemon tea. I've taken it morning and night for four days. The directions say three to four times a day, but that seems like a lot.So, I'm heading into day five, and I haven't developed a full-fledged cold. Good news for a working mom who doesn't have downtime! My throat still feels scratchy, but otherwise my symptoms haven't worsened. I'll continue to use it until the sickness leaves the house, and I'll try again next time symptoms appear.tl;dr I was skeptical about trying a homeopathic solution. I decided to give it a shot when I started feeling sick, and I've surprisingly not developed a more serious cold. I'll use it again. It's worth the shot!

Best over the counter cold medicine - go to

I like it because it works. It doesn't make you sick.

This is amazing for shortening your colds and very comforting as well.

I love how all the chemical companies pushing their "it only shortens the duration, it doesn't get rid of symptoms." Well, guess what? Getting rid of symptoms is masking them. There are plenty of ways our immune system makes germs unhappy. Mucus, fevers, chills, and many others are your body's way of getting rid of the bad guys. Sure, they are uncomfortable, but as long as they remain mild, they don't need to be gotten rid of.Umcka has been my family's go to cold partner for more than a decade. This version mixes nicely in India Garden's immunity tea to sip when you are feeling sick. Good tasting, and clinically proven to get you better faster, Umcka partners with your immune system to evict the squatters in your throat and nose.So skip the Quil, and actually help your immune system get rid of the bad guys with Umcka.

tastes good. we usually get the chewables. My family starts the umkha care and traditional medicinal teas when colds hit.

I have used this product multiple times now when I have felt like I was coming down with a cold. It is so soothing, and I love that it doesn't have all kinds of toxic junk ingredients in it. I feel like it has helped improve my symptoms more quickly than if I didn't take anything at all. I would highly recommend trying it. Love, love, love!

IT WORKS! I wasn’t sure bc I’ve always taken Tylenol cold and flu every 4-6 hrs for 3 days straight during a cold but this stuff works waaaay better- I’m shocked actually. Tastes just like lemonade- I drank it cold- and when I ran out I could see a huge difference on how I felt- sucked. I looked for more locally but none to be found. So I’m going to stock up on here. My colds strength was shorten by severity only- it still lasted 4 or 5 days but was no where near the strength of regular colds taking the Tylenol. NEVER did I not sleep bc of stopped up nose- I literally could breathe the entire cold! AMAZING!!!
