Jan De Vries Health Food Store: A.Vogel Echinaforce Echinacea Drops

A. Vogel's Echinaforce Echinacea Drops* are your best friend during the cold winter months (and for summertime colds) as they help to combat viral infections like cold or flu and are a great immune booster. Formulated with freshly harvested Echinacea Purpurea which contain 3x more active substances than those obtained from dried herbs. 

They help the body fight the symptoms of cold and flu maintaining resistance to the lurgy! And the tincture really works.

To use (adults, elderly and children over 12): 15 drops (0.6ml) in a small amount of water 2 to 3 times a day.

I use them when I get the first sign of a cold (winter and summer) as the drops help fight infections better and boost the immune system.  What's your to-go-to herbal remedy?

15ml - £4.15

50ml - £9.75

100ml - £16.99

December: Lately I've been Loving

I received a very lovely present from Bee Good which featured in my November post last month. This very special little handcrafted bee* found its home among the flowers!

Hubby gave me not one but TWO Jo Malone gifts for Christmas! Always a super-luxe treat and something I'd never buy for myself. Reviews will follow once I've tried them out. 

I hated having flu before Christmas (I missed out on my work Christmas party boo!) I found A.Vogel products really helped me out! Taking the Echinaforce drops* and especially the hot drink* with Black Elderberry (with a drop of honey) helped ease my aching limbs, fluey shivers and headaches. Highly recommend if you are feeling poorly!

I really enjoyed my alternative Ginvent advent calendar this year - you can see my thoughts on the first six days here. Hubby also got me a bottle of Tarquin's Handcrafted Cornish Gin for Christmas. It was one of my favourites and featured on day 4. Absolutely love the unique bottle too!

I couldn't not mention my beautiful Rose Hamper which I received from my friend Nardine at Christmas. She knows me so well and love that everything was picked knowing I'd love it.

Just before Christmas I received a copy of Cult Perfumes* by Tessa Williams. I've been enjoying leisurely afternoons browsing through it. A full review to follow shortly. Check out Tessa's beautiful Elements Perfumed Candles here. I'm tempted by FIRE which is a woody incense scent with coconut, sweet vanilla caramel, patchouli, vetivert, lapsang souchong, musk and tonka with smokey woods.
