Traveling often causes anxiety, dietary changes, and a lack of exercise and sleep, resulting in an increased chance of coming in contact with someone with the highly contagious flu virus on an airplane, bus, cruise ship or train. That’s why smart travelers keep the
top-selling natural flu medicine, Oscillococcinum®, on hand, so they’re always ready to nip those symptoms in the bud at the very first signs.
To encourage this year-round use by every traveler, homeopathic world leader Boiron launched a national “Where Will You Take Oscillo®?” Photo Contest on October 1. The company partnered with Debbi Kickham, author of the Amazon.com bestseller, “The Globetrotter’s Get-Gorgeous Guide,” to help promote the campaign.
Using their favorite travel photos, participants can share where they would like to visit or where they plan to take their Oscillo this year. All submissions will be judged on aesthetics and originality. Twenty-six weekly winners will be chosen, and from those, one grand prize winner will receive a five-day, four-night trip for two to Paris and $500 spending money. This six-month contest runs through Sunday, March 30, 2014. No purchase is necessary to participate. The contest allows one entry per participant per week. For official contest rules, please visit Oscillo.com/travel.
Kickham’s article, “How to Make Coach Feel Like First-Class—And First Class Feel Like Heaven,” shares eight “off-the-radar” tips for air travel success with contest participants. Oscillo is one of Kickham’s must-have items in her carry-on bag on every trip she takes.
Supported by clinical studies, Oscillo offers relief to everyone ages 2 to 102 suffering from fatigue, headache, fever, chills and body aches. Oscillo works naturally without causing drowsiness, and it does not interact with other medications, herbs, vitamins or supplements. Ideal for travelers and other people on-the-go, Oscillo’s compact and portable unit-doses can be stored in a suitcase, backpack or purse. Additionally, its quick-dissolving pellets require no water, making it convenient and easy to take.
Oscillo is widely available in drug stores, supermarkets, health food stores, and mass merchandisers
in the cough, cold and flu section. Suggested retail price is $11.99 for the popular 6-dose box and $29.99 for the new 30-dose family value pack. Consumers can visit Oscillo.com/travel to enter the contest and receive a coupon or to find the nearest retail store that carries Oscillococcinum.
