Autumn has well and truly arrived and whilst the sun is still shining brightly giving us welcome warm days, there is no doubt chillier days are here and the nights are drawing in.
Children and students who have returned to school and college can often suffer with acute symptoms at this time of year, such as coughs and colds even before they reach half-term. So it’s ideal to have some general constitutional treatment now if you do see a homeopath to give their systems a seasonal boost.

While we are still in the shadow of Covid. there is a need to be even more aware of looking after our own health - prevention is better than cure! There are so many products that one can buy over-the-counter from chemists and healthfood shops, so it’s worth checking your well-being medicine cabinet and stock up on some essentials right now! These can include Echinacea tincture, Elderberry tincture and Vitamin C. Often that sudden sore throat or feeling of low energy can happen in the evening after a taxing day and it’s ideal to have something natural at hand to take straight away to support your system.
Homeopathic kits are a far cheaper way of buying remedies and come with very user-friendly instructions for home use.
If you do have children then it’s a good idea to give them a natural tonic now before they become overtired and succeptible to minor ailments - don’t forget yourself! Floradix has a wide range of tonics and has always been a firm favourite in my practice and at home.
