April is the time of the year when some countries turn their clocks backwards one or two hours to save daylight. While in South Africa the African gladiolus throws a magnificent display of tall orange flowers, the snow in the northern hemisphere is melting, releasing its locked up water, causing floods… Why? Because of the changing of the season! That is why now is a good time to visit the Naturopathic Health Care Centre. We have a flu corner here providing in all your needs. Look what is to be found in this basket: 1. Natura Influenzinum 2013-2014 (now available) Influenzinum is an oral, homeopathically prepared flu shot alternative and a natural treatment option.

Natura Pentagen Pentagen contains a uniquely prepared herbal extract that is made from the roots of Pelargonium sidoides. Scientific research has proven that this South African medicinal plant has remarkable antibacterial properties and that it assists in regulating the immune system. Clinical studies have also shown that it shortens the duration and reduces the severity of colds and other upper respiratory tract infections. Pentagen also contains key homoeopathic ingredients like Hydrastis canadensis and Kalium bichromium that have traditionally been used to relieve the unpleasant symptoms associated with colds.
