Natural cures for winter ills Making use of seasonal vegetables and maintaining a regular intake of natural sources of vitamins and minerals can help to keep winter’s scratchy throats, congested chests and running noses at bay. Village Health Shop owner Diane Breen says a good way to keep healthy during winter is to make use of seasonal fruit and vegetables. “We have an abundance of mandarins, oranges and lemons at this time of the year for a reason,” she says. “We need vitamin C to help ward off cold and flu symptoms. Our bodies don’t store vitamin C and we should have, at the very least, 1000mg a day to build up our immune system.” Kakariki Health Store owner Jess Costello says there are a number of natural remedies to aid the body when sick. “Apple cider vinegar is great for the immune and digestive system, and the body in general,” she says. “A tablespoon mixed in warm water is good for coughs, colds and any kind of reflux. “A mixture of partially crushed garlic cloves soaked in olive oil overnight can help with ear infections. Put two drops in the ear or on a cotton wool ball and leave in.

Manuka honey, garlic, onion, vitamin C, herbs and mineral salts will all help boost the body’s immune system. Pictured, Warkworth Natural Health Store owner Jasmin Strum making her honey and onion remedy for sore throats.
“The common type of thyme, also known as thymus vulgaris, when soaked in a cup of hot water can make a soothing remedy for eye infections. Keep a lid over the liquid to seal in the steam and once cold, place on a cotton bud and rub over the eye.” Warkworth Natural Health Store owner Jasmin Strum recommends a honey and onion remedy for sore throats “First cut an onion in half, then cut cross hatches down each half so it stays together. Place in a bowl, drizzle manuka honey over the top, cover and leave for a few hours. Drink the resulting juice by the teaspoonful.” Jasmin says any kind of natural ingredient when used correctly is going to do wonders for the body. Panadol® Tablets with Optizorb® Formulation 100s
