As we head into the season of pumpkin lattes and spooky goings on. What can you do to prepare for all things that go bump in the night or for tales of the unexpected!
#1 Avoid those sweet treats
As the weather gets nippy, we get snacky and sweets at Halloween along with hot chocolates and sweetened lattes all increase our blood sugar levels above what is healthy.
A recent study looking at immune system function indicates a link between hyperglycaemia (excess blood sugar) and weakened immune cell function.
So ditch the sugar to stay fighting fit this Autumn.
Instead opt for broths, soups and stews to get your cosy fix.
Slow cooked meats and veggies provide us with easily absorbed proteins and nutrients essential for cell repair and optimum function.

#2 Stock up on cupboard home hospital essentials
My essentials are:
Chicken Bone broth- organic is best and I have sourced one that has ginger and greens in it for extra immune punch. Keep 2 pouches in the freezer and defrost and warm up in a pan if you have the flu.
Milk Thistle (liver detox and overindulgence saviour)
Vitamin C with bioflavonoids for as soon as that illness takes hold
Echinacea for immune boosts when needed.
Colloidal silver spray for infection busting assistance. Think bad throats and cleaning wounds at home.
Calendula also for cleaning wounds and assisting healing. Weleda or I have a good range of these in creams, sprays or drops.
Tissue salts especially Ferrum Phos for the first signs of infection/inflammation
Kali Sulph tissue salts if you suffer from Sinusitis. https://www.newerashop.co.uk/collections/cell-salts-combination-remedies
Contact me for a personalised recommendation and dosing guidance, plus discounts on Cytoplan products: https://www.cytoplan.co.uk/?awraf=57C89AFD6129359F740CA
(Remember to check with you physician if your taking other medications first).
#3 Get your family a Helios Homeopathic 36 remedy kit
Be a homeopath for your family and they will forever be thankful when you nip that food poisoning in the bud in an hour, reverse the flu in 12 hours or shift that 3-week cough in 2 days.
If you can’t afford the 36-remedy kit you can opt for the 18 remedy one but it’s a great investment as the kit really never expires.
Don’t forget if you struggle to pick a remedy its best to not give one unless its clearly indicated or you could make it more difficult to solve the issue.
I offer acute appointments for £55 throughout the year on the phone or by video call.
I will teach and guide you so you become an expert prescriber in time.
#4 Finally, my last tips, move and exercise daily until your out of breath.
Get in the beautiful outdoors, walk in nature, get exposed to early sunshine and evening sunshine to top up Vitamin D an essential vitamin for the immune system. Avoid stress, take up meditation, leisurely strolls, don’t watch the news, unplug from the Net and practice gratitude.
Hears to helping you have a healthy Autumn
