Staying Healthy Throughout the Chilly Season

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures begin to drop, our immune systems take a bit of a beating. If looming holiday stress, one too many of Grandma’s famous cookies, or the inevitable coughs and sneezes of the season have you ready to pack your bags and fly south for the winter, we’ve got you covered!
Stop cold and flu season in its tracks this year by giving your immune system a much needed boost while caring for yourself and your family through the holidays. Our top 5 tips for thriving during the colder months are sure to create a solid foundation for overall health and wellness, even during those chilly, New England winters!

 

Tip#1: Take Muco Coccinum for Cold & Flu Prevention

Muco Coccinum is a homeopathic remedy that helps your immune system ward off those pesky cold and flu viruses. For prevention, take 1 tab every week throughout cold and flu season (typically November – April). 

Tip #2: Take Wellness Formula To Nip The Sniffles in the Bud!

If you’ve already caught that inevitable wintertime cold, pick up a bottle of Wellness Formula. Wellness Formula will reduce the severity of your symptoms and shorten the duration of your cold! Timing is key: take 2-3 pills three times per day at the onset of symptoms, and continue this regime throughout days 1-3 of your cold. In no time, you should be back on your feet and ready to tackle the day!

Tip #3: Fight Turkey Day Tummy Troubles with Similase GFCF

Don’t want to give up homemade stuffing or your favorite slice of pumpkin pie this year? Believe it or not, gluten-free foodies can have their cake and eat it too! Simply take 2-4 capsules (depending on the size of the meal) of Similase GFCF along with your favorite gluten-filled foods and never miss out on the tastes of the holidays again!

Tip #4: De-Stress During the Holidays With a Massage or Sauna Visit

If decking the halls has you feeling more frazzled than festive, it’s time for a little self care! Treat yourself to a soothing session in our infrared sauna or a relaxing massage with our new massage therapist, Rebecca Geekie, M.T.! Rebecca offers an assortment of massages to combat holiday stress including an exclusive, 3-part series to reduce jaw and facial clenching, detox massages, soothing foot massages, signature full-body massages, and more!
