Relax kids

We have a new selection of amazing cds to help your child deal with the stress and strains of the exam season.

Regular relaxation can help children manage stress and anxiety while improving their concentration, focus and listening skills. Relax Kids can also improve creativity and imagination and build confidence and self-esteem.

To compliment the cd try Rescue Remedy - one of our favourite Bach flower remedies which is a great soother for these stressful times. 
But for now enjoy the holidays and join us for our beeutiful Pollination Parade this Bank Holiday Monday


 Good luck

Remedies and Products of the month - Hayfever

It's getting lighter and brighter, and we are all getting a bit smilier :)
But for some of you are suffering with the onset of hayfever, maybe you could do with a little help to get that smile brighter.

Here are a few things that could get you back to "normal" again, without having to resort to drowsy antihistamines that could potentially damage your liver.

Natural remedies for that cheeky hayfever

Pukka's Peppermint and Pippali Capsules - for seasonal allergic rhinitis and hayfever with sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose and wheezing. The warming spices helps to dry mucus secretions and stop sneezing and itching.

Vitamin C - a natural antihistamine and a great support for your immune system at the same time!
Delicious high vitamin C foods - bell peppers, strawberries, kiwi, kale, cabbage and oranges.

Herbs -Elderflower, ribwort and eyebright are anti-catarrhal and reduce your sensitivity to allergens, as do chamomile, nettles, and echinacea.

Reduce or cut out dairy products.

Eat local honey.

Essential Oils

Eucalyptus, Niaouli or Tea Tree oil on a handkerchief and use it when an attack occurs.

Pop in a have a chat with our lovely staff if you need any advice about your hayfever woes and any other ailment,
