A.Vogel Bronchosan Pine Cough Syrup

Dipti in Muswell loves A.Vogel Bronchosan Pine Cough Syrup. She says: “Really effective, I was suffering from a stubborn cough for days that would just not shift. I literally have tried everything in the shop and so far this is the one product that has calmed my cough down. I highly recommend it to anyone with a cough or just to have in the cupboard for the winter months.”

Cough syrups help to ease the irritation in the respiratory tract. They are sometimes required after a cold or flu, or following other infections of the respiratory tract. Bronchosan Pine Cough Syrup is made from freshly harvested pine (spruce) shoots, and as conventional cough syrups may contain synthetic ingredients or cause drowsiness, some prefer to use a cough syrup containing herbal or natural ingredients which are not associated with these concerns.

Pacifica Soy Candles

We love Pacifica Soy French Lilac Candles. They are handmade with vegetable soya wax and 100% cotton lead-free wicks and essential and natural oils. Perfumed in a traditional French style, this fresh scent conjures spring with a blend of Lilac, Magnolia Leaves, Heliotrope, Ylang Ylang, Hyacinth and subtle notes of Nectarine. All Pacifica Candles are 100% vegan. Soy wax is also cleaner burning – no toxins, carcinogens or pollutants which means it’s less likely to trigger allergies. They are also longer lasting – soy wax burns cooler which means that you can enjoy your soy wax candle for generally 30-50% longer than a paraffin candle. So If you’re looking for a Christmas gift, this may be it…even if it is for yourself.

Symprove

Santha in Kingston often recommends Symprove. It is a water-based formulation containing multi-strain, live and active bacteria. Symprove contains 4 unique strains of live and active bacteria that have been formulated to work in harmony with each other to help maintain digestive balance. It is unique, because the bacteria in Symprove are live and active; meaning they are ready to work in your digestive balance.
Independent research has shown that in order for a bacteria-based product to successfully balance gut bacteria, it has to safely arrive, survive the stomach acid and then thrive in the target area of the gut. Symprove beats all three challenges. Best of all it is vegan and gluten free

A. Vogel Bronchoforce

Chesty coughs can accompany colds or flu. They may come about as soon as the infection starts and could linger for long periods after the viruses have left your system. Herbal remedies have a long tradition of use in treating chesty coughs. Today, they are increasingly being chosen by people who prefer to use natural medicines and those wishing to avoid the use of synthetic cough remedies.

Ivy in traditionally herbal medicine was used to reducing swelling of the membranes that line the breathing passages and breaking up chest congestion. Thyme is antibacterial and antifungal but traditionally used in herbal remedies for its antitussive (cough reducing) effect. Liquorice is soothing on the respiratory tract especially great for soothing the mucus membranes that are irritated from coughing.

We love A. Vogel Bronchoforce Chesty Cough. It is a herbal remedy combining the above ingredients designed for the relief of chesty coughs, mucus coughs and catarrh. It helps relieve chesty coughs resulting from excess mucus or catarrh in the respiratory tract.

Lucy Bee Coconut Oil

Marta in Putney says: “My favourite product is Lucy Bee coconut oil. I use this not only for cooking, but also as a mask on my hair. It’s just amazing for my dry hair, I put one tablespoon mixed together with couple of drops of rosemary essential oil, leave it for at least an hour and rinse it off. My hair is now much softener and hydrated.”
