The Golden Globes usually coincide with the peak of flu season, and no one is immune—not even the celebrities. And because “the show must go on,” this year’s special guests of the HBO Luxury Lounge^® will find a priceless “gift of health” from Boiron, a customized swag bag filled with a variety of homeopathic medicines, including Oscillococcinum.

You, too, can benefit from the same safe, natural medicines that these celebrities depend on. Most of our over-the-counter medicines can be found in health food stores and independent pharmacies, and busy consumers who also can’t afford to be sick with flu-like symptoms can find Oscillo more easily in stores like Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and Target. Visit Oscillo.com for a coupon or to find the nearest retail location.

Hosted by Ricky Gervais, the 2012 Golden Globe Awards will air this Sunday, January 15 on NBC at 8 p.m. EST. And don’t forget to look for our celebrity updates afterward on Facebook and Twitter!

Tabrizi knows that Oscillo works best when taken at the first sign of flu-like symptoms, such as body aches, headache, fever, chills and fatigue, and giving it to a cast member immediately helps to keep his symptoms from worsening. For Tabrizi, “Boiron products are a must-have” on-set. She also “use[s] lots of Arnica for aches and pains from working long hours.”

Tabrizi has also worked on several A-list films, including “Drive Angry,” “Prom,” and “My Bloody Valentine.”

“Suburgatory,” starring Jeremy Sisto, Jane Levy and Carly Chaikin, airs Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. on ABC.

“One of the cast,” says Paulson, “had a sore back and said when she used [Arnicare], it helped relieve the soreness and discomfort, while speeding up the healing of her bruising.”

Paulson has done make-up for several A-list films, including “Knocked Up,” “Just Go With It,” and most recently, “Jack and Jill.” She’s currently working on the 2012 film, “Struck By Lightning,” starring Christina Hendricks, Chris Colfer and Sarah Highland. Just in time for holiday gift giving, “The Help” was released on DVD this past Tuesday.

“My wife and I love the Arnicare Gel. We have used it before,” says Meraz.

Arnicare Gel works to relieve muscle pain and stiffness due to minor injuries, overexertion and falls, and to reduce swelling and discoloration from bruises. Arnicare is available in two other topical forms—cream and ointment, as well as oral tablets and pellets.

While Meraz is best known for his role in The Twilight Saga, he can also be seen in this year’s drama/thriller The Roommate, with Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly.

Boiron is helping Patch and his team to continue these charitable good works by donating a portion of proceeds from the purchase of our Arnicare products from specially marked displays this fall. Retailers and others were introduced to the new displays at the annual east coast gathering of natural product manufacturers, retailers and distributors.

Patch was on hand at the Boiron booth to talk about his long time efforts to build a teaching center and clinic on the institute’s land in West Virginia. Once built, Patch’s clinic will offer free care that is based the principles of compassion and friendship with the well-being of the staff being as important as the well-being of the patients. All manners of complementary care, including homeopathy, will be practiced. The atmosphere will be infused with fun, he says. Patch spoke more about his fundraising efforts for the clinic and his institute’s global good works as one of the conference’s featured speakers. His lecture, “Medicine for Fun not Funds,” was held before a packed room of enthusiastic supporters.
