The box was full of natural remedies including a selection of New Zealand Honey Co's goodies, a pack of peppermint tea, lemon juice, a clove of garlic, lavender oil, a packet of dried blueberries and some ground ginger.
The idea behing the box is everything you need to survive the winter season without grabbing packets of over-the-counter medicines from the local pharmacy. The honey contains a range of antioxidant, antibacterial and pre-biotic properties to help keep our bodies in tip top shape and leaving us feeling full of vitality! A definite must-have for a mother of twins working full-time!
I am a huge honey fan so very excited to look closely at the honey they sent through:
New Zealand Honey Co's Beech Forest Honeydew Honey - apparently ideal if you are in need of a little boost. It has a pre-biotic rating of 20+ so one of the highest rated pre-biotic honeys in the world. It is recommended to keep digestive systems in shape. The honey feeds the good bacteria in the gut to neutralise harmful toxins and increases the absorption of nutrients.
New Zealand Honey Co's Thyme Honey - smells amazing and is meant to keep immune system on track. Again a must-have when you have three kids at home carrying all sorts of bugs and germs! This honey can help neutralise the harmful free radicals that cause anxiety, premature aging (sounds perfect) and other health problems.
Finally, the honey everyone knows - New Zealand Co's Manuka Honey - has an antibacterial rating of 15+, and is effective against a wide range of harmful bacteria, particularly coughs, colds and sore throats. They recommend dissolving one tsp every few hours in your mouth. Manuka honey has so many benefits, apparently it can also help treat skin infections, rashes, blemishes and sort spots.
I will be using this fabulous selection of natural remedies over the next few weeks so come back to see the results and whether I had to use any other forms of medication to get me and the family through the Winter!
