Ayurvedic
winter remedies |
A pure organic blend of three Indian spices - ginger,
pippali, black pepper – Pukka
Herb’s Trikatu is a traditional Ayurvedic
remedy which has a natural affinity for the lungs and orifices
of the head making it a superb natural treatment for winter colds.
Its hot, digestive properties help to clear mucous, coughs and breathing
difficulties as well as treating
the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis

rhinitis.
Amla (Emblica officinalis) is a powerful anti-oxidant and

Dislike swallowing pills or capsules? |
 Sucking
Zinc lozenges in the first few hours of a cold
can bring quick relief according to a recent medical study.
This study involved a group of 73 young adults with cold symptoms.
When the volunteers were given the zinc lozenges within 24 hours
of the cold symptoms starting, a decrease in the cold's duration
from an average of 10 days in the dummy group to just over 4 days
in the zinc group was recorded.
Sucking a zinc lozenge can soothe
sore throats and relieve
cold symptoms and are ideal for children or anyone who hates
to swallow pills or capsules. Solgar's
zinc lozenges are suitable for vegetarians, salt and starch free,
and come in a pleasant lemon-lime flavour. Available from Victoria
Health, Solgar's Flavo-Zinc lozenges cost £5.99
for 100 lozenges.

Stop the cold count with garlic |
The common
cold is the world’s most widespread viral infection, with
most people suffering approximately two to five colds per year.
Thanks to its natural antibacterial and antiviral properties, garlic
has been used throughout the world to strengthen
the immune system and to maintain and promote health. Supplementing
your diet with Kwai Garlic tablets can give your
immune system the boost it needs this winter, with no risk of overdosing
or drowsiness.
If you can’t stomach the taste of raw garlic, or hate the
‘garlic breath’ that inevitably follows, Kwai
is an odourless and convenient alternative to eating fresh garlic.
The tablets are coated 60 times so your breath
stays fresh. A daily dose of 300mg provides the
equivalent of just over a clove of fresh garlic, and is the effective
dosage level at which most research studies have been carried out.
Kwai Original 100mg is available in packs of 100
for £4.95 and Kwai Once-A-Day 300mg is available
in packs of 30 tablets for £4.95 from all good health food
stores or by mail order on 01628 533307. For further information,

Could flying make you ill? |
Ventilation systems in newer aeroplanes recycle as much as 50%
of the cabin air. According to Harvard University health scientist,
Professor John Spengler, the risk of infection from other passengers
on long flights is far higher than in any other indoor environment.
The possibility of catching an illness such as coughs,
colds or flu from recycled germs is bad enough - aeroplane travel
is also dehydrating resulting in dry, flaky, irritated skin.
Colloidal Silver is a natural
antibiotic and preventative against infections. Acting as a
catalyst it disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses
and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate without
harm to human enzymes or parts of the body chemistry. The result
is the destruction of disease causing enzymes in the body.
Liquid Silver Spray is refreshing, antibacterial, hydrates the skin
and seals in moisture. Available from The
Sher System, Liquid Silver Spray costs £12.00 for 50ml,
or £30.00 for 200ml.

Important Role for Collagen in Managing Joint Disease |
Exciting new research suggests a significant role for collagen
hydrolysate in the prevention and treatment of degenerative
joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a non-inflammatory
disorder of the joints which, over time, leads to wearing away and
destruction of cartilage. In spite of extensive research there is
still no cure to osteoarthritis and degenerative joint diseases
a re
becoming more widespread. In the UK alone, 8 million people have
arthritis,
of which osteoarthritis is the most common.
Collagen hydrolysate is important as a dietary supplement particularly
in patients with osteoarthritis or in people whose joints are put
under heavy stress such as sportsmen/women or people
who are overweight. The recommended daily
dose is 10 grams.
Collagen Plus is a unique nutritional supplement,
taken as a daily drink, which provides Collagen Hydrolysate,
Glucosamine Sulphate, and Chondroitin Sulphate
at their optimum levels in order to help the formation of joint
cartilage. Collagen Plus is available from Arthrovite.
