ABOUT:
Ragweed and hay fever are just starting to grip down on the country’s sinuses. Many aren’t aware that an everyday product like HALLS® can help relieve those debilitating allergy-related symptoms. HALLS® is already such a common and trusted product; you get a cough and chances are someone within 5 feet as a half-pack buried somewhere in their purse.
MY THOUGHTS:
With the cold weather and changing seasons, two things happen: my allergies act up and I get a constant cold. I never really considered taking HALLS for anything other than a sore throat but with its vapor action formula it definitely is comforting when my nose is stuffed, throat is sore, or I have a cough. The bag even says it starts working within 10 seconds for fast relief, which I do agree with since it sort of numbs you and you start breathing in the vapors.
I got the chance to try out Sugar-Free HALLS in Mountain Menthol which comes in a resalable bag and the HALLS Cherry Sticks which come in a rolled package with 9 drops. Both work basically the same for me, but the HALLS Sticks are easier to carry around since it is a small stick where you pop out one when you need it, although I found with the bag the drops don’t get purse fuzz on them! No matter how crappy I am feeling though from now on, I am relying on HALLS products to soothe and comfort me. It is a temporary solution but at least for me, I don’t get sick days as a mom so I need all the help I can get! When my allergies act up, I can now pop my medicine which takes awhile to kick in and in the meantime I can pop a HALLS to start soothing my itchy throat and stuffed nose. I want to add though that HALLS are not just for allergy sufferers, but for anyone in need of a cough suppressant or oral anesthetic. HALLS products also come in yummy flavors like Cherry, Honey-Lemon, Strawberry, Tropical Fruit, Ice Blue and more!
BUY IT: Look for HALLS products at your local store!
WIN IT: (2) US winners will receive a HALLS Prize Pack containing 10 HALLS Sticks in each!

With a cold I try to rest and drink lots of fluids. Unfortunately all I seem to be able to do for my horrendous allergies is treat them with OTC products. Thanks.

I don’t get sick a lot. When I do, I usually take aspirin or advil, and if I have a cough, I’ll use cough drops.

Air purifiers and humidifiers. What I breath in makes a huge difference in how bad my allergies are going to be or how long my colds last.

I try to have my kids and hubby eat some kind of Vitamin C, whether it be an orange, orange juice, or a Vitamin C chewable, and it really does help! I’ve noticed that when we DO get colds/flu, they aren’t as harsh as they used to be!
