Natural remedies and tips to help you feel your best
Immunity support
Fresh air, exercise, a good diet and a decent night’s sleep are the foundations of a robust immune system. But sometimes, especially at this time of year, we need an extra helping hand. The Organic Pharmacy’s Immune Boosting Kit (£55, theorganicpharmacy.com) has been developed to support a healthy immune system with two supplements: one for the day, containing vitamins A, C and D; and another for the night (right), with magnesium and herbs to promote restful sleep (when the body fights infection).
THE LOW-WASTE WAY TO WASH YOUR HAIR
I know water is a precious resource that we shouldn’t squander but I didn’t realise that ditching just one hairwash a week is enough to save an average of 500 litres a year! That’s why I was excited to discover the new Klorane Detox Dry Shampoo (£9, escentual.com). In the past, I’ve always found that dry shampoos leave a powdery finish and often have an overpowering scent. This one, however, is different. Made with organic aquamint – known for its depolluting properties – it leaves hair looking clean and smelling fresh, without that annoying residue. (It also has a cooling sensation that’s perfect for bleary-eyed mornings.)
