Clarityblend Home Sanctuary Essential Oil Blend Collection review

Freshen up your home this Spring with a delightful set of 100% natural essential oils from Clarity Blend, which you can use in your diffuser or burner. 

Using essential oils in your home is one of the easiest ways to explore the exciting world of aromatherapy and its many benefits. I particularly enjoy using different blends in different rooms to create a particular atmosphere, or to simply help change my mood. 


If you're new to aromatherapy, Clarity Blend's Home Sanctuary Essential Oil Blend Collection offers the perfect introduction with a set of five essential oil blends that covers all bases.

It's always a good sign when you first open a boxed set like this and you can immediately smell a strong natural fragrance of all the oils; you know you have purchased something that's high quality and potent!

Clarityblend Home Sanctuary Essential Oil Blend Collection review
Clarity Blend was recommended to me by an aromatherapist friend who uses their products a lot for her personal and professional work. Handcrafted in Berkshire, this lovely English natural brand was founded by a wife and husband team who have an immense passion for reconnecting with nature, and capturing its essence in bottles so that everyone can benefit from its properties.

All of Clarity Blend's products adhere to strict practices as outlined in the Good Manufacturing Guide and there is a strong focus on sustainability too; the brand do not use any essential oils that are from endangered or vulnerable plant species such as sandalwood or rosewood, and everything is free from artificial fragrances, parabens, sulphates, phthalates, and SLS. 

Clarityblend Home Sanctuary Essential Oil Blend Collection review
The Home Sanctuary Essential Oil Blend Collection comprises of five essential oil blends.

Try These In The Bedroom
Sweet Dreams will help you to get a restful night's sleep with its calming blend of crisp, organic French Lavender, Frankincense, Clary Sage, and Geranium. Heart Chakra is another good choice for the bedroom and can aid in setting the mood for love thanks to an exciting blend of exotic spices such as Black Pepper, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Juniper Berry, and Grapefruit.

For The Home Office
If you need help finding your focus again try Active Life which has an uplifting and invigorating selection of essential oils which features Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Grapefruit (this is also an excellent choice if you're feeling under the weather). I personally love Energy Boost when I have a deadline to meet as the combination of Rosemary, Sweet Orange, and Peppermint instantly awakens the senses which helps with my concentration.

Relaxing Living Spaces
To de-stress and relax, you can't go wrong with adding a few drops of Mind Spa to your diffuser or burner, so this one's ideal for use in rooms where you want to relax and unwind. The blend of Blue-Gem Eucalyptus with Patchouli and Bergamot feels very grounding and calming so that you can take a step back and just appreciate being in the moment.

Clarity Blend Home Sanctuary Essential Oil Blend Collection* retails for £29.99 and is available from various stockists including clarityblend.com

Health & Lifestyle: Top 5 Healthy Lifestyle Tips

Tuesday, 25 January 2022

 

Deciding to live a healthier life is about much more than just losing weight. Going on diets and creating short-term exercise plans can work for quickly achieving weight loss goals, but while losing weight can be beneficial for your health, improving your lifestyle in the long term is the best option. By improving your lifestyle with these tips, you can stay at a healthy weight consistently and also feel more energized and positive day-to-day.


Start exercising

Exercise is incredibly important for your health because it can lower your risk of serious complications such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and even cancer. Additionally, exercise increases flexibility and mobility, making it easier for you to complete certain physical tasks. Since exercise releases endorphins, it can also improve your mood and reduce stress, and this is all in addition to the aesthetic benefits of exercise such as becoming slimmer and more toned.

Regarding this last point, many people take up exercise in order to improve their confidence by getting in shape. However, you may find this difficult if you have a lot of excess skin from previous weight loss as exercise can’t completely tighten up this extra skin. In this case, you may benefit from abdominoplasty (a tummy tuck) to remove this excess skin if it becomes an issue for you.


Eat a balanced diet

Crash dieting may help you lose a bit of weight before an important event, but it’s not sustainable or good for your health. Although it doesn’t produce the instant results that many people crave, a balanced, healthy diet that you can stick to in the long term is much better for you. This means that instead of cutting out unhealthy foods entirely, you simply reduce your consumption of them and replace them with healthy cooked meals and snacks like fruit between meals if necessary. Banning foods often just leads to cravings and a lower chance of sticking to a healthy diet, so make sure you eat appropriate amounts of each food group instead.


Get more sleep

You should aim to get around 8 hours of sleep per night if possible as this is the amount recommended by doctors. Plenty of sleep will allow your body enough time to rest and recover each night so that you feel energized the next day. Sleep can also reduce stress and regulate your hormones and blood sugar levels, which are important health benefits. It has even been proven that chronic sleep deprivation can shorten your life expectancy!


Drink water

Water is absolutely essential for our bodies. Water carries nutrients around our bodies and helps to get rid of waste and toxins, and since we are constantly losing water through sweating and urination, we need to replace it throughout the day. Rather than drinking sugary drinks that are bad for your health, try to drink more water instead.


Focus on mental health

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. To improve your mood and reduce stress, it’s important to practice mindfulness and take time each day to do some self-care and things you enjoy. A healthy mind and a healthy body go hand in hand.

Living a healthy lifestyle can help you avoid diseases and live a long and happy life. Try following the advice listed above to see how this can help you!

Health & Lifestyle: 3 Supplements To Try This Autumn/Winter

Friday, 5 November 2021

 

Give your health a boost this Autumn and Winter with a range of new supplements that you may not have come across before. This edit includes a natural sleeping beauty blend, a herbal tincture for clear skin, and a CBD Oil to help with creativity.

Try For Better Sleep: Complete Me Sleeping Beauty Relaxing Blend* (60 capsules, £14.99, link)

A good night's sleep is not only essential for your physical health so you are well rested to get the most out of your new day, but it's also vital for your mental health as well. Complete Me's Sleeping Beauty Relaxing Blend combines carefully selected vitamins and minerals such as Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamins B3 and B6, with 5HTP, Lemon Balm and Chamomile, to promote a healthy, good night's sleep. It achieves this by helping the body to naturally relax and unwind, and balances your hormones so you're in the right frame of mind to catch up on those all-important ZZZs. 

How To Use: take two capsules with a glass of water before going to bed. Suitable for vegans, gluten-free, non-GMO and contains no artificial colours or preservatives. 

Try For Clearer Skin: Herbfarmacy Botanicals Dandelion & Burdock Extract* (100ml, £13.50, link)

As many of my regular readers will know, I've been a big fan of Herbfarmacy's skincare for many years now, yet it's only been recently that I discovered that they also sell a range of herbal botanical tinctures so I thought I would check out their organic Dandelion & Burdock Extract. Used for centuries as an internal skin purifier to support the healthy function of the liver and kidneys, extracts of Dandelion and Burdock root have been widely researched as a tonic to help with digestion, and there's been growing evidence that they're beneficial as a way to internally treat common skin conditions such as eczema, acne, and psoriasis. 

How to use: add half a teaspoon to a glass of water or fruit juice and drink two-three times a day. This tincture has a strong earthy and herbal flavour and is suitable for vegans.

Try For Increased Creativity: Amphora Inspire CBD Oil Drops* (30ml, £99.99, link)

New from Amphora is a premium range of high-strength CBD Oil Drops which have been specially formulated to support different aspects of daily life. Each product boasts an impressive high strength of 6000mg CBD Oil; the equivalent of a full dropper's worth of 200mg pure CBD extract, plant-based terpenes, and MCT oil for quick absorption. Unlike cheaper brands, Amphora's CBD is sourced from 100% organically grown hemp and contains no harmful additives. I've been testing out the Inspire CBD Oil Drops that help to promote increased concentration and creativity. It's early days yet, but I'm hopeful it can aid my mind out of its procrastinating ways - we shall see!

How to use: squeeze a dropper full under the tongue, hold for 30 seconds and swallow. Inspire has a slightly citrusy, earthy flavour.

Health & Lifestyle: Start Your Day with Theenk Morning Glory Tea

Wednesday, 18 August 2021

 

I'm always on the lookout for new healthy teas to incorporate into my daily routine and my latest discovery comes from the London-based brand, Theenk. 


Theeknk Tea slid into my DMs over on Instagram a little while back and very kindly sent me one of their exciting herbal tea blends to try. This brand has been creating a buzz recently with their award-winning 21-day herbal tea programme which has been designed to help support healthy brain function and mental wellbeing - something that I'm sure you'll agree we could all benefit from after nearly 18 months in lockdown.


Whilst the programme contains all three of their expert tea blends, you can also purchase these individually so I thought it would be a great idea to share my personal favourite which is called Morning Glory.


I'm a night owl and mornings are just not my thing. It always takes me a good hour or so to properly wake up, which is perhaps why I was immediately drawn to this Morning Glory tea. 

Composed of just six natural herbal ingredients, Morning Glory features an interesting selection of carefully chosen nootropics, adaptogens and natural stimulants to help your mind to focus, improve your mood (essential for anyone who feels a bit grumpy first thing!), and provides a gentle energy boost to support you to get ready for a productive day.

These superstar ingredients are; Ginkgo Biloba, Gotu Kola, Yerba Mate, Jiaogulan, Rosemary and Tulsi, with each making up an equal share of the blend for a potent cuppa. It tastes strongly herbal in a similar manner to green tea, but without any bitterness. I was actually quite surprised by this as it's got a lovely smooth finish on the palate.

After drinking it every morning for the past 21 days, I can confirm that it lives up to its claims and does give you that extra mental clarity that you need to start getting on with your day. I shall be ordering another box ASAP!

Theenk Morning Glory Tea* (21 compostable teabags, £12.99) is available from theenk-tea.com

What do you drink in the morning?

The Weekend Post: Emotional Wellness Activities for College Students #AD

Saturday, 20 June 2020

At first, we all watched movies and series about students' lives where students did nothing but have fun, drink, sometimes travel, and fall in love. Now, we see very different styles of movies and series about students' lives. Previous year Euphoria became the top series in this field, and it is rather dark, if not depressive. Of course, not every student lives through such troubles as Zendaya's character, but many of them have enough problems in college. 

Emotional wellness is something that hasn't been widely discussed previously, but now it is a raging topic. It has been proven that emotional intelligence is not less critical than cognitive intellect, and is even more important in terms of success in life. That is why, being a college student, you should prioritize your emotional wellness. Here are some actions and activities which may help with it. 

Defining what well-being looks like for you

People are different, and it is normal that well-being looks differently for them. It is related both to emotional well-being and any other kind of well-being. It would be strange to expect all the people to have the same understanding of happiness and fulfillment. People tend to look at others and think about what others have achieved. It can be very challenging to adjust your life to someone else's expectations and successes. And the main idea is that you should not do it. You should Define what well-being in many aspects looks like for you and for you only. It is not a simple task, but once you deal with that, you will be ready to move forward without getting distracted by other people's understanding of life. We don't mean that someone else's understanding is bad or wrong; we just mean that you should be first of all on your own vision.

Screening your psychological state

Once you define what emotional well-being is for you, you can move to the next stop. We don't mean this article to be a step-by-step manual, and most of the activities we offer are not interconnected rigidly. However, their first two ones are connected, and it is better to do them one by one. There are many systems that help to screen your psychological state. We cannot recommend a particular one if you are currently communicating with a specialist, ask him for an individual recommendation. However, we can recommend a PERMA model to assess your life situation. P is for positive emotion, E is for engagement, R is for relationships, M is for a meaningful existence, and A is for achievement. 

Analyzing available resources

When you watch motivational speeches on YouTube or read them in books or articles, you may stumble upon sentences Telling you that you have all the resources to achieve whatever you want. It sounds so nurturing, so reassuring, but the fact is it is not valid. Unfortunately, it is not true. We all have limited resources, and mostly they are not enough to achieve everything we want, so we need to choose wisely. But before you choose, you need to make our goal, to understand the task for which you need those resources. Later you list all those resources available and choose from them the most suitable ones for the situation. For example, you may not have resources to address a psychologist right away, but you can't talk to a college counselor or join a support group on campus. You may not have enough energy for dealing with your essays, so you can address SmartWritingService, for example, which provides students with legitimate essay writing services for professional help from time to time. Not all our resources are interchangeable, but many of them are. Don't get discouraged from the very beginning, keep digging, and you will find the resources you need to achieve the goal and make your emotional well-being more stable.

Asking for help

This part is one of the most difficult ones because, from our childhood, we are taught that we should help others, and we are not taught how to ask for help without losing self-confidence. We know how to provide help to our friends, but we are often too shy to ask directly for this help ourselves. It is an important flaw in our minds that should be overcome. Think of three major problems that influence your emotional well-being and decide on people, which theoretically can help you with them. Of course, you won't make them responsible for those changes, you're the responsible one, but you can share your struggle and ask for some help, which will make the journey easier for you. 

Adjusting your diet

It might sound surprising, but it is very difficult to guarantee emotional well-being without adjusting your diet. We are not speaking about self-esteem related to body weight or appearance, though those conceptions are still very strong in our society. We talked about the influence that food we eat has on our brain, on our emotions, on our ability to deal with daily tasks and to stay confident in our abilities. Food that is full of sugar and preservatives has a strong effect on our emotional stability. You need to cut on sugar and junk food if you want to balance your emotional well being. Excessive sugar sends you to an emotional roller coaster, and no matter how long you meditate or how good your self-awareness is, you will have mood swings, which will make you miserable sometimes. Tracking your diet, connecting it with your emotional state, and changing the diet accordingly, will hugely enhance your emotional well-being.

Emotional wellness requires an investment of time and effort. You cannot expect that the moment you start tracking your mood, everything will become significantly better in a blink. You need to build a system that will help you to maintain emotional balance. At first, it may even seem like things are going worse. It is just the same as when you want to tidy your wardrobe and start taking everything from the shelves, sorting it, and your whole room immediately looks like a mess. Not a very tidy picture, right? For the moment, it may even seem that you did all wrong, you made things worse, and it will never get tidy back again. The same feeling can hunt you on your way to emotional wellness. Just know that if you feel this way, you require just a little bit more effort before things get better.

Health & Lifestyle: CBDshopy CBD Oil Peppermint 500mg review for Mild Anxiety & Natural Pain Relief

Friday, 10 April 2020

CBDshopy CBD Oil Peppermint review for Mild Anxiety & Natural Pain Relief
CBD Oil is one of the most popular ways to treat a wide range of health problems, including mild anxiety symptoms, and it's been proven to be an effective natural pain reliever that many people can benefit from. But what exactly is CBD Oil?

I've personally used CBD Oil for a few years now since it became commonplace in many health food stores and online shops, and it's something that I feel has helped to reduce some of the milder symptoms of anxiety that I experience day-to-day. It's not a cure-all for severe anxiety though, but rather something that I see as a useful supplement to take alongside other recommendations such as a healthy diet, regular exercise and CBT sessions (Cognitive Behavioural Therapies). As always, I want to point out that I'm not a GP and can only speak from personal experience, so please seek professional medical advice if you have any health concerns.

What Is CBD Oil?
CBD stands for 'cannabidiol' which is one of the many cannabinoid compounds that are found in the Cannabis plant. Cannabinoids are also found naturally within the human body and we have chemical receptors all over as part of our own endocannabinoid system, which helps to regulate lots of different bodily functions related to mood, memory and how we feel pain. The human endocannabinoid system is usually quite good at regulating itself as we naturally produce our own endocannabinoids, however, sometimes things go out of balance which is where CBD based supplements can help.

Will It Make Me Feel High?
No, CBD Oil is extracted from the Cannabis plant so that it contains less than 0.2% of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is the illegal psychoactive element that makes you feel high when you smoke or ingest Cannabis in its whole form. Hence why you can purchase CBD Oil from a retailer in the UK, but you can't purchase actual Cannabis for consumption as the latter is illegal unless prescribed by a GP for strictly medical purposes.

Who Can Use CBD Oil?
The numerous benefits of CBD Oil are constantly being researched into, but it's been generally proven to be beneficial to anyone who has mild symptoms of mood disorders such as Anxiety and Depression, and pain-related issues such as Arthritis, Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. As I mentioned earlier, please take advice from a GP if you have any concerns about taking CBD Oil or want further information about any potential impact on current medications that you take.

CBDshopy CBD Oil Peppermint review for Mild Anxiety & Natural Pain Relief
If you're interested in trying out CBD Oil, I feel that it's important to note that there are a lot of unscrupulous CBD retailers out there selling fake or inferior products, unfortunately, so I highly recommend doing some research to ensure that you're purchasing a high-quality product that's safe to consume. Check out reviews from actual customers online and have a look at the shop's social media pages for further comments - if there are lots of people complaining, avoid that shop and buy elsewhere! In the interests of transparency, I was sent a sample of CBDshopy CBD Oil Peppermint 500mg to trial over the past month, who are reputable sellers in the CBD market.

CBDshopy is an established online retailer who offers a huge range of CBD products, many of which are their affordable own-brand products that have been formulated to the highest standards with ingredients that are non-GMO, organic, vegan-friendly and ISO certified. All the products that they sell have also been tested by an independent third party and you can read the lab test reports on their website here. 

In addition, CBDshopy are developing their Instagram page (follow them here) to be a reliable and trusted source of CBD related education based around mental and physical health, wellness and the latest CBD news and updates.

CBDshopy CBD Oil Peppermint review for Mild Anxiety & Natural Pain Relief
My Thoughts on CBDshopy CBD Oil Peppermint 500mg*
CBDshopy's own-brand CBD Oil comes packaged in a typical small glass bottle with a dropper pipette and looks and feels like a high-quality product from the offset. This full-spectrum oil features 500mg of CBD (Cannabidiol) which includes high levels of Terpenes, Phytocannabinoids and essential oils that are found naturally in the buds of the Cannabis plant. I would always recommend trying out a full-spectrum CBD Oil like this to anyone who is new to using CBD products as I feel they offer the most benefits and 'bang for your buck'. 

How Do I Use It?
Take 1/2 dropper under the tongue twice a day. It's important to try and keep the oil in your mouth for as long as possible to increase the bioavailability of the CBD. What sets this oil apart from others that I've used in the past is the natural Peppermint flavouring which helps to somewhat mask the strong, bitter and earthy flavour of CBD Oil. Again, a flavoured oil is going to be more palatable to those who perhaps haven't used CBD Oil before and it makes it much easier to tolerate when holding it in your mouth for longer!

Like all supplements, you'll need to take it on a regular basis for at least 3-4 weeks before you start seeing any results. After this period, I found that I felt a bit more relaxed and less anxious about certain things that were bothering me, and some of the chronic pain that I get in my lower back had significantly dissipated. Side effects with CBD Oil are incredibly rare and I always prefer turning to a natural product like this before taking any unnecessary over-the-counter pain killers.

Thursday, 27 February 2020

Petits Rituels By The Fire & Orange Gourmande Luxury Candles review
Fed up with this awful weather? Need something to lift your mood? Get your Hygge on and cosy up to these beautiful luxury candles from Petits Rituels. 

Handmade in England using only 100% natural plant-based wax and pure essential oils, Petits Rituels luxury candles are part of their home fragrance range which has been created with therapeutic benefits in mind. I'm a huge fan of aromatherapy so this brand immediately appealed to me when I saw it - naturally, I just had to pick up some of their candles to try out!

Presented in white frosted glass, these paraffin-free, French-inspired candles look incredibly chic in any room and have an excellent scent throw. I've been smitten with two scents in particular; By The Fire and Orange Gourmande.

Petits Rituels By The Fire & Orange Gourmande Luxury Candles review
Petits Rituels By The Fire Candle* (200g, £36, link)

Described by Petits Rituels as the brand's signature Winter candle, By The Fire embodies all of those warm and cosy vibes that you want to come home to after a long day.  This wonderfully festive blend features seasonal favourites such as spicy notes of Cinnamon and Clove, infused with zesty and uplifting hints of Orange and Lemongrass. These key essential oils help to create such a happy and inviting atmosphere and with up to 40 hours of burn time, this large 200g candle is perfect for living rooms.

Petits Rituels By The Fire & Orange Gourmande Luxury Candles review
Petits Rituels Orange Gourmande Travel Candle* (70g, £16, link)

During stressful or difficult times, I find the small ritual of lighting an aromatherapy candle as comforting as making a cup of tea and Petits Rituels' Orange Gourmande fragrance is definitely worth a try when you're feeling a bit blue or anxious. This scent is gloriously happy and uplifting with fresh citrusy notes of Sweet Orange married together with the relaxing and floral notes of Rose Geranium. It's the ideal candle for when you need some 'me time' so it's a good one to keep on standby in bedrooms and bathrooms. 

Do you enjoy using aromatherapy candles in your home?

Healthy Living: Hello Day Autumn Box - Supplements Review

Wednesday, 17 October 2018

Hello Day Autumn Box - Supplements Review
Despite the somewhat unseasonal weather that we've been experiencing here in the UK over the last few weeks, that Autumnal chill is now well and truly here to stay. If like me, you're looking to change up your daily supplements to boost your health in preparation for the colder months ahead, Hello Day's Autumn Box is here to lend a helping hand.

I've always loved Autumn for its outstanding natural beauty outdoors, but I must admit, I don't much welcome the often inevitable colds and flu that the change in season brings. This time of year is a particularly busy one for many people too, with the kids settling in back at school, and the new college and Uni academic years starting, it's not a great deal of fun if you're missing it all because you're feeling run down and full of cold! 

Hello Day Autumn Box - Supplements Review
As I've often reviewed supplements in these Healthy Living features, I was keen to dedicate some time to try out Hello Day's Autumn Box which is a brilliant complete set of natural supplements to keep your mental and physical health at its best during this change of season.

The Autumn Box has been created by an expert team of doctors and pharmacists who have specially curated this programme of four natural supplements to keep your immunity high, your skin, hair and nails healthy, your digestion system working properly, and your vitality and mental wellbeing balanced. This holistic approach that combines both aspects of mental and physical health is something that Hello Day are well known for, and the box itself is beautifully presented.

Let's take a closer look at each of the different supplements which you'll find inside the Autumn Box.

Hello Day Vitality Balance
Hello Day Vitality Balance (30 capsules / 1 per day)

Looking after your mental health is just as important as ensuring that your diet and exercise routines are up to scratch, so I was pleased to see these Vitality Balance supplements which has been specifically designed to help reduce tiredness and stress. Each capsule contains 112.5mg of Magnesium (to combat fatigue and reduce anxiety), 112.5mg of Siberian Ginseng Root Extract (to promote healthy mental wellbeing and boost your energy levels), 30mg of Rhodiola Root Extract (to keep you mentally and physically alert) and 50mg of Passionflower Extract (to promote a calm mind). 

The capsules are easy to swallow and help you to overcome the seasonal tiredness that many people experience as the nights draw in and the temperatures begin to drop. I know that I always personally struggle with fatigue during Autumn and Winter, so I've found these particularly useful.

Hello Day Immunity Shield
Hello Day Immunity Shield (15 sachets)

Immunity Shield is your helping hand against cold and flu bugs, with each individually portioned sachet featuring a powerful combination of natural ingredients to give your immunity a real boost. It contains 375mg of Purple Coneflower Root Extract (more commonly known as the popular Echinacea Purpurea) which is widely revered for its natural abilities to keep the immune system functioning as it should be, 250mg of Elderflower Fruit Extract (which has beneficial stimulating anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties), 250mg of Siberian Ginseng Root Extract (to boost your energy levels), and 24mg of good old Vitamin C which accounts for 30% of your daily NRV.

Presented as a powder supplement that you can mix in a small glass of water, Immunity Shield has a pleasant Passionfruit flavour and is easy to incorporate into your morning routine.

Hello Day Beauty Boost
Hello Day Beauty Boost (60 capsules / 2 per day)

Being a beauty blogger, I was instantly drawn to Beauty Boost as I'm always on the lookout for beauty focused supplements which can help with improving the health and appearance of my skin, hair and nails. Autumn is definitely a good place to start to take something like this because the cold weather loves to wreak havoc with chapped skin, lips and weak, brittle nails and hair becoming common complaints during the season.

Beauty Boost is quite similar in composition to other supplements of this nature that I've tried in the past as each capsule features 2.8mg of Vitamin B6, 80mg of Vitamin C, 40ug of Selenium and 10mg of Zinc, all of which in combination contribute to healthy collagen production and help to protect the skin's cells from oxidative stress. In addition, there's also 3.5mg of Cystine (an essential amino acid for strong hair and nails which is naturally found in Keratine), and 25mg of Horsetail Extract with Silicium (to promote healthy hair growth). 

This pack will provide one month's supply and I would always recommend sticking with beauty supplements for at least three months to see the best results as I tend to find that you don't see much difference after just a month of taking them daily, so it may be useful to bear this in mind if you're interested in trying this box.

Hello Day Digestion Cleanse
Hello Day Digestion Cleanse (15 sachets)

The fourth and final product in Hello Day's Autumn Box is their popular Digestion Cleanse, and  I feel that 2018 has been an excellent year for raising public awareness of the importance of looking after your gut. Digestion Cleanse is a powder supplement which is made from a combination of natural ingredients - each sachet contains 500mg of Rosemary Leaf Extract, 300mg of Lemon Balm Leaf Extract, 300mg of Sweet Tamarind Fruit Extract and 200mg of Chrysanthellum Extract.

These ingredients work together to improve bowel function by supporting the liver and biliary system in removing toxins during the natural metabolising process. It also helps to boost your liver and digestion function overall and can be taken once a day in a small glass of water. I liked the Mint flavour as it felt like taking a normal digestive aid and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve the health of their gut. 

Hello Day Autumn Box* retails for £79 and is available from hello-day.com
