I really learnt a lot in this class all thanks to the Teacher. I invite @akareen, @favbae and @triple-e to participate in this contest.
My children have been adults for a long time, I probably forgot how to help a child with teething, so I was very surprised that ginger, garlic and honey were needed.
I believed that these products can strengthen the immune system, can help with sore throats, coughs, SARS, flu and bronchitis. I need to remember something else about these products))
