As we all scuttle through that weird weather period between spring and summer we start to get colds. Nothin debilitating or particularly awful of course. Just those horrible little sicknesses that block your ears and your nose, scratch up your throat and make you feel like you’ve been frozen then improperly microwaved. Unfortunately, when it comes to this kind of sniffle it can be hard to justify taking a day off. Even if you manage to get the day off work you probably still have nonsense to do around the house, things to get finished for deadlines, or maybe you just don’t want to feel like rubbish all day. These are a few strains that can help us either bolster our energy or just rest without feeling quite so sorry for ourselves.
