Advice from the real people

© Jen Collins

Recently I shared some advice from the real people — people who tell me what has worked for them. I would like to share some more with you.

A lady had a recurring cough for which she had tried everything to clear; she was really fed up with it. She tried Herbetom. This is a herbal blend which includes aloe vera, pine, eucalyptus, and plantago. It’s really effective for coughs associated with asthma, and bronchitis.

Its properties are anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic, and will help stimulate mucous secretion. It took a couple of bottles, but she was very happy that the remedy did clear her cough. She wanted to let us know.

Magnesium oil rub has got the thumbs up for arthritic pain. A customer was suffering with pain in her hands; she thought that was nothing she could do about it. She read about Magnesium oil rub and decided to try it. She came back to tell us that she was delighted with the relief it gave her. Magnesium oil can also be used to help relieve aches and pains, restless legs, and muscle cramps.

A young teenager was told by her doctor that she could never wear mascara as she had sensitive eyes, well, she was devastated. But Linda suggested that she try mascara from a natural range of cosmetics called Benecos. She tried it and was absolutely delighted; it caused her no problems and she can comfortably wear the Benecos Mascara. Since then we have had more feedback from people who can’t wear mascara. If you have problems with mascara its worth having a look at this range.

Sticking with sensitivities, a lady with rosacea, was looking for something to reduce the redness on her cheeks, she was embarrassed by the condition. Linda suggested some dietary advice as well as trying Aubrey moisturiser, and cleanser, the one for sensitive skin. The lady was delighted with it. Her redness was reduced and she felt better in herself. Your feedback is important to us. It helps us to help others. So keep on telling us your positive stories so we can share them with others.

Best wishes,
Clair

Back to school boost

The school holidays are almost over and what a fantastic summer we have had. Hopefully this will mean fewer colds when the children go back to school.

If you’re concerned that this won’t be enough to prevent your child catching cold you could help boost their immune system. Vitamin D, C and Zinc will help do this and are available in liquid or tablet. Probiotics will help to boost their natural immunity.

You could give them a multi vitamin for a couple of months, especially if they’re fussy eaters. If they don’t eat their vegetables look for supplements that provide green foods, they are rich in the minerals found in vegetables.

Fish Oils are really important, in particular for concentration and memory. They can take some time before you notice the benefits, so start giving them as soon as you can.

Some useful remedies to have in the cupboard include; Sambucol — Elderberry which is for coughs and supports the immune system. Propolis winter mixture can be given to support the immune system throughout the year, or to treat a cough. Children’s Olive Leaf is an all round remedy. Olive Leaf has anti-biotic, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties.

Some children find the first day of school traumatic, and parents can dread this day: their babies are growing up too fast! Now is a good time for both of you to take Rescue Remedy or Child Essence. Red Chestnut is great for parents who worry that no one can look after their child like they do.

Older children, over six who are anxious about the first day of school, at any level, from primary school to college could try Higher Nature Balance for Nerves. It helps to relax and calm. It’s especially good for anyone who feels panicky.

These are some simple steps that will help keep your child healthy and happy this school year. In the meantime, enjoy the last few days of the summer holidays with your family.

Best wishes,
Clair
