It’s cold and flu season, and I’d bet more than half of us couldn’t locate a cough drop. Not even one that’s a year old, half-unwrapped and stuck to the bottom of your purse.

And it’s always at the most inconvenient time that you start to feel a cold coming on. You get that urge to swallow, only to find that your throat feels dry and scratchy, and you know what’s next. But more often than not, you don’t have medication on hand - especially if you’re at work or traveling. Or maybe you’d rather not take it, being wary of the possible side effects.

That tried-and-true home remedy - rinsing with salt water - is always a good one. Sure, it tastes pretty awful, but it’s cheap, easy, free of side effects, and it really does work. But mixing up a salt water rinse isn’t logistically feasible when you’re out and about.

Enter Simply Gargle, individually-packaged ampules of a salt water rinse (plus vitamins, herbs, antioxidants and astringents), that are perfect for tucking into your purse, your briefcase, the glove compartment of your car, even the pocket of your winter coat. When the first signs of a cold strike, just duck into the nearest rest room and swish away.

Ten of our parent bloggers tried out Simply Gargle, and they’ll report back as to how well it worked for them, especially while on the go.
