Ian Escritt from Mrs. Willis stopped by our Wicklow Street Store on Saturday to sample his delicious Hot Honey Drinks. Mrs. Willis cordials are soothing, tasty and easy to use. They can provide immediate and sustained relief from the symptoms of a cold or flu and are made with real ingredients - no artificial nasties here!

Simply stir three dessert spoons of the cordial into a cup of hot water and it's ready to drink. At only €2.95, each bottle makes eight servings. We definitely recommend Mrs. Willis, the perfect recipe for a springtime cold.

Probiotics are the beneficial intestinal flora (good bacteria) that is absolutely essential for proper digestion and over-all health. Once destroyed, these beneficial bacteria can only be replaced through supplementation because the body cannot generate them on its own.

Poor eating habits, cooked foods, chlorinated drinking water, and the ingestion of antibiotics can wreak havoc in the gastrointestinal tract and immune system by destroying good bacteria and allowing undesirable ones to multiply.

Supplementing your diet with a probiotic can therefore be essential for many of us. Probiotics help improve the immune system and help us digest food.

Natasha's Living Foods will be in our Wicklow Street Store this Saturday 20th February. As part of Rude Health Week 2010, Natasha will be sampling her delicious selection of raw foods.

Raw foods contain live enzymes that aid digestion, which activate as they are consumed. The beauty of raw foods is that the ingredients are very simple. Because nothing is processed, everything comes in its raw, natural state. Drop in from 12-4pm on Saturday to sample Natasha's tasty treats!
