- Sleep Support: Natural sleep remedies work to make you feel calm and relaxed so that you can drift into a natural and restorative sleep. They can help with getting to sleep and also with getting a deeper sleep. Chamomile, valerian, magnesium, Passiflora, hops. skullcap, L-Theanine, melissa are traditional remedies. NHP Advanced Sleep Support works best for our customers. Irish Botanica Peace and Calm is a strong valerian product, Dr Vogel Dormeasan too. Cannabis oil also works well for a lot of people.
- Raised cholesterol: Natural ways to reduce cholesterol is to support bile production. Bile helps to rid cholesterol from the body. Foods like lecithin, artichoke, dandelion, milk thistle, gentian and other bitter herbs will help to stimulate bile production. Best supplements for reducing cholesterol are Red Rice Yeast and plant sterols. We love Betual Normochol, Cardio K, RicePur, Higher Nature Red Sterol Complex, Macanta Red Rice Yeast with Q10.
- Leg cramps: Main three causes of leg cramps and restless legs are low calcium – very rare; low iron and B12; and low magnesium – most common. NutriAdvanced MegaMag Muscleze is a customer favourite. Viridian High Potency Magnesium is another excellent product. Varicose veins are often another cause of restless, hot, tired and heavy legs. Take horse chestnut extract as a tablet and a cream – Dr Clare Venatone is excellent.
- IBS: Irritable bowel syndrome can have different triggers for different people. Common causes are: food intolerances; medication use like antibiotics or anti-inflammatories; parasites, worms, bacteria. Stress is often a factor as well. The key to managing IBS is to address the root cause. Supplements that can help are digestive enzymes such as Udo’s or Terranova to help digestion and absorption and to take the pressure off the digestive system; healing supplements to soothe and repair the gut such as Natures Plus GI Wellness or NutriAdvanced Gastroflux. Probiotics can help restore good bacteria: Udo’s Super 8, Natures Plus Microbiome, Viridian Saccromyces Boulardii.
- Backache: It is important to identify the cause. It could be a pulled muscle – Magnesium gel is excellent and arnica for healing. It could be a disk problem – arthritis wear and tear. Good supplements are anti-inflammatory NutriAdvanced Curcudyn Forte or turmeric and boswellia, joint supports like collage and cartilage – we love GAL UC II Cartilage, or One Nutrition Joint Factor. Pernaton Forte is a gel that heats up in the muscle to give immediate relief.
