Healthy Winter Tips – Did you know the key to wellness this winter is a great inner terrain? How do you tell if your inner terrain is NOT right?
If this sounds like you… immune problems may already be there or not far away.
Sore throat, chesty cough, blocked nose? On antibiotics, have thrush? Have an autoimmune disease – asthma, psoriasis, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis…..?
BRRRRR…..It’s cold and flu season, again!

Which means that by building a healthy body and immune system it creates an environment that germs don’t want to live in.
Prevention is key.

Which just isn’t true!
Have you ever been surrounded by sick people at work or home but managed to escape with good health? I know I have…often. Touch wood…. I haven’t had a cold for many years and have pretty much lost count.
