Preparing for Winter

The weather recently has been noticeably cooler, and the nights getting shorter. While hopefully we will get a bit of an indian summer along soon, it is also time to start thinking about winter wellness and trying to prevent those coughs and colds.

Exercise is a good start for keeping your body in good shape, so if you're an outside exercise person make good use of the remaining warmish weather and available light. Maybe making some plans for the winter if you're not already a member of a gym or equivalent would be good too.

While both our UMF manuka honey and propolis ranges have very good properties for dealing with coughs and colds, and sore throats, there is another product that is also very good at building your immune system and helping prevent winter ills.

It's different because it is made from fresh olive leaves. After all we all appreciate that a glass of fresh orange juice is better than one reconstituted from dried powder.

With a choice of flavours of plain, peppermint, or berry for children. It also comes in capsules for those that prefer.

Olive leaf has been shown to have antiviral and antifungal abilities, and although many people benefit from it all year round, its winter wellness function makes it particularly useful during this time of year.
