Helpful Herbs for Overindulging and Hangovers this Christmas


Your health is precious leading up to Christmas. Over indulgance, extra activities, travel and cold weather gives your immune and digestive system extra work. Thankfully, there are herbal remedies can help you stay healthy and have fun this Christmas.


For the festive season, I recommend Bitters (a.ka hangover bitters) to help with sluggish digestion, low energy, and hangovers. It works well with Detox Tea.


To enjoy a good time without the after effects, take a dose before you go out, another when you come home and again in the morning. See  http://www.healthandherbs.ie for more information on Bitters and to be prepared.

Happy Chrismas to you all. Nollaig Shona Daoibh.
