Homeostasis Labs Cough and Cold Relief, 50-Count Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is August but unfortunately I just finished recovering from a cold. When I ordered this product the only symptom I had was a sore throat, but I knew from experience what was coming. I still have my tonsils so colds usually start in my throat. I can usually gauge the length and severity of the illness by the level of throat discomfort - a medium cold was coming. By the time the remedy arrived the sore throat was gone, but the nasal congestion had started with the cough following it. With no sore throat when I began treatment, I can't address that aspect of the remedy.
I like the idea of homeopathic remedies and have had success using a brand of teas that treat various problems, so I approached this trial optimistically. The package states that the pills may be taken with all medications. I take a prescription medication for an on-going health issue and it can't be used with most cold remedies, so I am always on watch for alternatives to the usual cold medications.

Opening the very attractive box proved to be challenging. It looks like the plan is to create a dispenser of some sort, but I guess the design was too clever for me. I followed the directions on the box and pressed where it said to press but no dispenser was created. After a couple of minutes I gave up and ripped the box open and poured the pills into a small zip lock bag. The pill is rather small and tastes bland but slightly sweet. One tablet needs be chewed up and allowed to dissolve in the mouth. The instructions state to take one every four hours.

The first pill had little effect, but after taking a few, the cough and congestion seemed to improve. I continued taking four pills a day for four days and my cold is now gone. Since there is no cure for a cold, treating the symptoms is the only option. I feel my symptoms were lessened by the pills.
This remedy isn't one that assaults the system and dries out the nasal cavities to the point where they feel filled with sand, but if eliminating all nose blowing is the goal, this product may not be the right one, just as a serious cough probably won't be helped either. But, if like me, your choices for cold treatments are limited, this remedy provides some gentle relief. I will certainly use it again while battling a cold.
