Anneliese talks natural health matters with Patricia Messenger on Cork 103FM October 3rd. All products can be ordered over the phone and posted out.
- Diverticulosis: Prevention of infection and further damage to the colon is the best approach. Avoid constipation and straining - take a soluble fibre daily like psyllium husk or inulin. A probiotic can help keep gut bacteria healthy and minimise change of infection. We like BioKult, Udo’s 8 and Nature’s Plus Immune Biome.
- IBS: It is important to identify the root cause of irritable bowel: food intolerances, gut dysbiosis, stress. Nature’s Plus GI Wellness is excellent for gut healing, a good probiotic as above to ensure a good balance of beneficial bacteria. A digestive enzyme can help with breaking food down more efficiently and prevent indigestion and constipation. L-Theanine and valerian can help cramping if stress is a factor in IBS.
- Jet lag/Poor Sleep: Melatonin is excellent to reset your body clock – available overseas or on prescription in Ireland. Sleep remedies like Peace & Calm, or NHP Sleep Support can help with sleep and a tonic like Source of Life Gold can help with energy during the day.
- Stress: Ashwaghanda is a wonderful adaptogenic herb for stress, especially if there is anxiety. We love Stressveda which also has B vitamins for nervous system support. Rhodiola is another excellent herb to support you through stress – try Viridian Enhanced Rhodiola Complex. NHP Tranquil Support can help with feelings of anxiety throughout the day,.
- Glandular Fever: Source of Life Gold is an excellent tonic. For anti-viral support, take Olive Leaf Extract liquid and NutriAdvanced Virese. And the usual Vitamin D, C and zinc for immune support – try Nature’s Plus Immune Support.
- Shingles: Antiviral support as above. For long-lasting nerve pain and inflammation, try homeopathic Hypericum. Capaicin can also help when applied topically – try Pernaton Forte gel or make your own with chilli and oil. CBD may also help when applied topically.
