Once the kids go back to school they can be exposed to more colds and flu but there are ways you can try to keep their immune systems as healthy as possible so they have the best chance of being able to fight those bugs off naturally. It’s easier to try to prevent illness than to try to treat it...
Trying to get your kids to eat sufficient fresh fruits and veggies can make a world of difference to the strength of their immune systems as well as reducing their sugar intake whi...ch can weaken them. ’An apple a day keeps the doctor away’ may have some truth in it as apples are high in vitamin C. Fresh smoothies or porridge made with berries (including frozen ones) and fruits, nuts and seeds is a great way to get lots of immune-boosting nutrients into the body. Vitamin C and Zinc are both key nutrients for immune-health and these can also be taken preventatively as daily supplements...
If colds and flu do descend then the herbal remedy Echinacea which you take in liquid drops can be useful to help fight it off. Reducing intake of milk-based products can also help reduce sinus congestion and runny noses. If your children do catch a cold or flu bug one of our Medical Herbalists at the Apothecary can offer health advice as well as make-up bespoke herbal medicine treatments to take.

Marion was able to recommend a plant which releived and eliminate the affect of mosquito bites which I am highly allergic to, the relief this gave me was amazing and something I can now use at any time ... Wonderful thank you Marion

I was suffering from cystitis when we were camping around Brighton. The doctors said it wouldn't cure without antibiotics.. Since I'd rather go for alternative/herbal options, the apothecary provided me with a tea and a tincture and my cystitis was completely gone after 4/5 days!! The lady was sincerly helpfull and took her time with me, that's something you don't see often anymore.. Herbal treatment should be more common and accessable, because It's the most sustainable way of health care! Thanks again Brighton apothecary!!

I had a burn on my leg which got infected. I tried treating with Savlon / tea tree but was getting worse. Went in and got prescribed an external mix and within 24hrs it was healing really nicely.
