Astragalus acts as a tonic to protect the immune system. It aids adrenal gland function and digestion, increases metabolism and stamina. Good for colds, flu and immune-deficiency related problems. A healthy immune system protects the body against numerous pathogenic bacteria and viruses preventing cold sores, bacterial and viral infections, apart from helping to respond to various allergens, whether airborne or from food. We would recommend Astragalus should be taken from the first day of Autumn until the first day of Spring.

Caution: Should not be taken if fever is present.

 

Dosage
One capsule twice a day with water.

Eat Like a Yogi

Staying at an ashram in the Himalayas taught me a lot about eating. Not just the food itself, but how and why we eat the way we do, and the impact on our emotions and bodies. In the run up to my trip, I read on the ashram’s website that they follow a ‘Sattvic’ diet. I had no idea what that meant, but the list ... read more

The Great British Beach Tan

British beaches are wonderful. I know; I happen to live 250 yards from one. Shingle. Seagulls. Blistering sunshine. (Yes, really, on a good day – and you can read my guide to my hometown here.) Now, Club 55/St. Tropez, Hastings beach is not. I can’t think of anywhere on our coastline, actually, where you have to worry about... read more

You would be utterly surprised at the number of "everyday" skin conditions which can affect the skin and nails of the feet and with this in mind I have been working on the formulation of a new Hygiene Cream for feet to address many of these everyday conditions. The hygiene cream launch coincides with the celebration by Margaret Dabbs Clinics of ‘World Foot Health Awareness Month’ in May and is a must-have in any bathroom cabinet. It is particularly good for feet that suffer... read more
