Some favourite remedies in your health store

THERE are remedies on the shelves of your local health store that have been around a long time, some of them for more than one hundred years. I think that’s amazing, and a fantastic testament to the quality, and effectiveness of the products.

Floradix Liquid Iron Formula celebrated 100 years recently. Imagine that, 100 years, it’s brilliant. It’s an easy to take–and non-constipating–Iron formula. The benefits of which are energy, focus, and improved concentration. And it’s safe to take during pregnancy.

New Era Tissue Salts are a system of healing that has been around since the 1920’s but the theory and first form of the salts goes back as far as the 1800’s. The theory is that there are 12 mineral cell salts which the body needs. An imbalance or a deficiency of one of the salts could affect overall health. And rebalancing this using the tissue salts can help relieve symptoms that include aching legs, sinusitis, skin problems, fatigue, muscle aches, and so much more.

Bio-Strath is a natural herbal tonic which has been around since 1961. I could paper my walls with testimonials about the health benefits of this tonic. Improved energy, vitality and recovery after illness are common.

A.Vogel is a brand that many of you will be familiar with. A.Vogel Echinacea has been with us since the 1950’s and is still one of the most used remedies to treat and prevent colds and flu. The company used to be called Bioforce. Alfred Vogel is the man who brought Echinacea to us after he was gifted the seeds from a Sioux medicine man called Black Elk. In fact, the seeds that are used to make A.Vogel Echinacea today are all descended from those same seeds.

Udo’s Choice Ultimate Oil Blend celebrated 20 years of success this year, another customer favourite, a vegetarian source of Omega 3, 6 and 9 oils which support joint, heart and skin health.

While there are many familiar remedies that I am happy to recommend with confidence based on customer feedback there are always new, exciting, and revolutionary products on the market which is why I have so much material to write about. It seems to never end!

These are a few of my favourite remedies that your local health store has to offer you.
