Benjamin has had a terrible chest cough. Stefan went to the "Apotheke" (Pharmacy) in search of some cough syrup. This is what he was given. FENNEL/HONEY syrup ! I love it.....now that the wind and rain of Fall have arrived the stores are all advertising their natural healing products for colds! Teas/salves/syrups made of herbs and natural oils ! It just wouldn't happen, in the USA, ( as far as I know) that a Dr. or Pharmacist would recommend a natural healing product !Meanwhile, for 6 Euros....Stefan also purchased this TEENY tub of Vicks ( called WICK here - pronounced VICK). I could buy at least 3 for that price in the USA and each about 3 times as big!

I remember having a skin rash in austria...went to Apoteke to look for cortizone cream (need a script for that in the EU) and was given instead this WONDERFUL milk based lotion that cant be found here stateside.
I'll swap you some vicks for that lovely OTC lotion!
