Hi Lovelies,

Welcome back! And welcome if you are new here ???

Winter is coming – and this is how I prepare! I don’t know about you, but I am extremely anxious about this school year. Apart from pages upon pages of new rules and regulations (open windows and doors at all times is one of my “favourites”, the last thing my asthmatic kid needs), this will also mean that every cough or sneeze will be treated as suspected case of Covid19. So this is how I am preparing to keep my child’s immune in top condition. Let’s see what I got from iHerb to help support immune system naturally?

Not too sure why it took me 2000 years to order from iHerb, but once I have started, I think I won’t be able to stop! Everything You see in this picture, plus two more items cost me a bit less than83€, which is super great deal in my mind.  Shipping includes and taxes prepaid. Would I have purchased everything in the EU, I would have paid well over 100€ I think. Two of the products I am most happy about are OreganolP73, which is natural antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal and antimicrobial remedy, and Oscollococcinum, which is homeopathic cold and flu remedy I use for about a decade now. Since it is not available in the Ireland or UK, it is very hard for me to get my paws on it – and it sealed the deal for me getting this order. I talk about this and OreganolP73 in great detail in My Natural Medicine Cabinet post here. Both remedies I have used for years and would wholeheartedly recommend for anyone, mama or not.

Ingredients [OreganolP73]: Extra virgin olive oil and wild, organic oregano oil.

Ingredients [Oscollococcinum]: Anas barbariae 200CK HPUS, lactose, sucrose.

I also chose three remedies from Natrabio – a homeopathic remedies brand I am yet to try, so Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! Two of the remedies  I chose are for kids, cold and flu remedies, liquid no alcohol formula. We haven’t tried either yet, but once we will, I will surely update You one way or the other. Fingers crossed! What I like about the homeopathic remedies that there’s no side effects, in the worst case scenario it just won’t work.

Hyland’s 4 Kids Sniffles & Sneezes

This is also a new-to-me remedy for kids aged 2-12. This time it is pellets, which you tip into the cap and straight to your mouth – try to never touch any homeopathic remedies with your hands, and also please allow 15-20 window of not eating or drinking after as not to dilute the remedy. This we have tried straight away, what kids does not have sniffles during school year, right?

That’s it for the remedies this time, but not all to my haul though. The hook that got me to order in the first place, was the massive 60% beauty products sale, but guess what? I ended up with only BDellium Tools eye shader brush, which cost me mere 3.44€ with the discount added. That’s what I love about iHerb, their prices are awesome and on top of that there’s always some kind of deal going on! Which is how I got California Gold Nutrition Gold C Vitamin C 1000mg. This is my preferred vitamin C dose – please do yourself a favour and go research RDA (recommended daily allowance) versus optimal levels, and your life will be changed forever. You can come back and thank me later 🙂

So, yes, this is my fun little haul from iHerb. It took 10 days to arrive Ireland, nothing was broken or damaged and packaged very well. The box itself is very sturdy cardboard, so I cut the top of and kept to be used around the house – I mean, there’s always things to be organized, isn’t it?

 

That’s it for my post, thanks for reading, I appreciate it! Your turn – tell me Your iHerb staples, so I could check them out and add them to my wishlist. I am sure I am the last person or Earth to order from iHerb, so I could use some of the helping hand sorting the good stuff from the not so good 🙂
