  1. Allergic Cough: Could be an allergy to mould especially if experiencing a cough in the winter rathe than the summer months. Natural anti-histamines are quercetin, Vitamin B5, Vitamin C, stinging nettle. We love Biocare Quercetin Plus or Macanta and Terranova Quercetin Complex. Dr. Clare Allertone is a great one for any allergic reactions of all types and can quickly reduce allergic symptoms.
  2. Menopause Pain in Joints: If joint pain is menopause-related, it is better to take a natural HRT approach. Dong Quai, Soy isoflavones, red clover extract are all gentle plant-based oestrogens. Health Hub customers love NutriAdvanced MegaMag Perimenopause Support, Terranova Dong Quai or Viridian Red Clover. Natural anti-inflammatory herbs such as curcumin and bowellia will help with immediate symptoms until the natural HRT kicks in. We love NutriAdvanced Curcudyn Forte, GAL Curcumin and GAL UC II cartilage.
  3. Recurrent UTIs: D-Mannose prevents infection causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract and multiplying. Cranbiotix is excellent as a probiotic to replace beneficial bacteria. Dr. Clare Cystone blend cleanses and nourishes the tissue of the urinary tract to keep it healthy and capable of resisting infection.
  4. Good Tonic: Source of Life Gold is a superb tonic. Take whenever you feel tired or run down. Generally a tonic can really benefit around November/December and perhaps again in February to March but can be taken all year round if necessary.
  5. Extreme Tiredness: Most obvious causes are iron, Vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies. A good iron tonic like Floradix or Natures Plus HemaPlex. Low Vitamin D is also a factor. Hormone imbalance can be a cause – we love Natures Plus Menopause Support or Monthly Support. Stress can also result in fatigue – try Ashwagandha and Rhodiola – Terranova is a good brand. A good tonic is Source of Life Gold or multivitamin tonic such as Oxylent. Ginseng can give you an immediate energy boost without the jitters.
  6. Shingles: Lysine is excellent for suppressing the virus, taken every 2 hours. Hypericum is a homeopathic remedy for inflamed nerves for pain. Olive Leaf extract is excellent as a natural and powerful antiviral. And as always, Vitamin D, C and zinc are essential immune boosting nutrients. Echinacea is also a powerful immune strengthener.
  7. Restless legs: Often due to a magnesium deficiency – NutriAdvanced MegaMag Muscleze is a customer favourite. Could also be low iron or B12 – take a supplement. Varicose veins are often another cause of restless, hot, tired and heavy legs. Take horsechestnut extract as a tablet and a cream – Dr Clare Venatone is excellent.
  8. Sinus and cough: Dr, Clare Mucotone great for boosting immune system, drying up mucus, and soothing inflammation in the lungs, A good cough bottle such as Comvita Winter Wellness, Pukka Elderberry syrup or Irish Botanical Syrup taken when coughing. Of course, Vitamin D, C and zinc.
  9. Mouth ulcers: Often due to an allergy to sodium lauryl sulphate in toothpaste. Change to a natural toothpaste. Colloidal silver sprayed onto the sores can speed up healing, Vitamin C and zinc also is super for skin healing.
