I am a huge believer on being healthy from the inside out, so would like to share some of my favourite products I personally use.
Two of the natural remedies I have used continually now for many years, and are on my list of 'must-haves', are both from the beehive. Bee Pollen and Propolis. Those who know me, know how much I swear by both of these products and I think everyone should take them! The benefits of both are staggering.
Bee Pollen is the most nutritionally rich food on our planet. It contains 22 amino acids, 27 mineral salt (including calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron) and other elements and various enzymes. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B12, C, D, P. Provitamin A and Rutin. The healing, rejuvenating and disease fighting effects of bee pollen has been well documented. Bee Pollen has been known to assist with: digestive upsets, fatigue, allergies - hayfever being the most common of allergies - antioxidant, antidepressant, antibacterial, enhances the immune system and so many more benefits. On a personal note, those close to me have also had results with side effects of chemotherapy and pain relief. Each of us will reap different effects and benefits.

Propolis is the immune system booster. For me, working in education for many years being surrounded by students - and staff - coughing and sneezing in confined spaces, this product was my saviour, as I never got ill! Propolis is a natural antibiotic, antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and like Bee Pollen, Propolis has so many amazing benefits - aside from strengthening your immune system -such as assisting with tonsillitis, laryngitis, colds/flu, mouth dentistry, respiratory problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, allergies, healing wounds and so much more!

Neal's Yard Remedies Organic Superfood Organic Greens Complex with Purifying Chlorella can be added to juices and smoothies, as well as a shot. This product is carefully blended to provide a natural source of soluble fibre and non-animal protein. With acerola fruit powder extract, rich in vitamin C, to support the immune system and normal collagen function of the skin.
It has amazing benefits. As well as detoxifying, it is an antioxidant, good for the gut, brain and muscle building. It is non GM, gluten free, dairy free, preservative free, vegan and kosher! Greens Complex gives us a purifying inner cleanse and restores glowing skin also. I use it in either a juice or smoothies. If you are not really a fan of seaweed, you may prefer the Berry Complex, although the benefits do differ.
Neal's Yard Remedies Organic Superfood Organic Berry Complex with Antioxidant Vitamin C is my new favourite product and I confess once my pouch was opened, my greens Complex got sidelined slightly! Although, I do know some like to add a bit of both complex's to their smoothies, so you can always do this for a double-whammy!
The Berry Complex is jam packed with a powerhouse of antioxidants to help boost collagen and the skin’s radiance. This delicious, highly nutritious organic complex is also bursting with organic acerola cherry extract, rich in vitamin C, and phytonutrients, it supports your immune system and gives you antioxidant protection.
Carefully blended with organic superfruits, omega fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, to provide a natural source of fibre and non-animal protein. Organic Berry Complex is ideal for all the family, vegetarians and vegans, not to mention there is no added sugar, non GM, gluten free, dairy free, no preservatives, vegan and kosher.
This is so yummy and I used this daily in my smoothies until the pouch was empty to see what the results would produce, would it do what they say it would and I have to say, it did. My skin appeared plumper and definitely had more radiance. Very happy with this product I have to say!

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
I did talk about Coconut Oil in my 'Spring Clean Your Body - Part 1' as it is amazing as a body moisturiser, but, we can eat it too! It is highly nutritious, versatile and packed with health benefits and can be used for baking and frying, as well as being able to add to salad dressings or smoothies. Organic Virgin Coconut Oil supports healthy digestion, boosts energy and is a superfood.
With so many varieties currently available, how do you know what is the best type to use? I recently read an article and the answer, thankfully, was Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. I was relieved as it is what I have been using!
NYR Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is 100% organic and raw, 100% virgin, vegan, non GM, no bleaching, no additives, unrefined, cold pressed expeller, no gluten or lactose, no preservatives, no pasteurisation and no hydrogenation.
I love all of the benefits of this amazing product for both inner and outer health and felt a feeling of satisfaction when I had used every bit of my first jar and opened my second!
