- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
