Baraka breath of life

The Cold and Flu season is here again, and with the introduction of a new viral threat, strengthened immunity is more important than ever. Nasal irrigation is a safe and effective method to use for colds, flu and for the relief of allergies. The daily use of a neti pot has been shown to improve quality of life and decrease dependence on medication and antibiotics. While nasal irrigation has been used in India for centuries as part of yoga practices, it has been recently recognized and embraced by both Canada and the United States as a treatment for rhinosinusitis and as cleaning for postoperative cleaning (http://www.cfp.ca/cgi/reprint/49/2/168).

Fall allergy season can be the most difficult season for many of us, but use of a neti pot can alleviate much discomfort. Daily nasal irrigation can rinse away most of the pollens that attach to our nasal cavity and help to decrease congestion and inflammation. Many people are able to discontinue use of seasonal allergy medication once they switch to a neti pot. Dr. Oz of the Oprah Winphrey show is a staunch advocate of neti pot use and has showcased them on the show many times (http://www.oprah.com/slideshow/oprahshow/slideshow1_ss_oz_20070426/6).

For the month of October, you have the opportunity to try a neti pot at a discounted price thanks to our friends at Red Hot Ceramics. We are proud to offer a 20% discount on all their nasal irrigation products. Pick one up today!

Prepare yourself for flu season!

After months (literally!) of waiting, everyone’s favorite virus-fighting supplement is finally back on our shelves. Formerly known as BlockAid, New Chapter’s Immunity Take Care is quite possibly the most advanced winter-time wellness formula on the market.

This delicious, blueberry-flavored extract of Sambucus nigra (elderberry) has been proven to enter the bloodstream in less than 30 minutes. While many conventional extracts of Elderberry are available, none consistently provides the broad spectrum of herbal constituents available in Immunity Take Care. This breakthrough formula combines nature’s full herbal intelligence with a unique and patent-pending extraction process that guarantees full potency in every lozenge.

Safe and effective for kids and adults, Immunity Take Care can be used at any stage of infection, or as a preventative during the height of cold and flu season. You can bet the entire Co-op Vitamin Department is using it as we head into the chilly months!
