Last Winter very few people came to Organico for cough & cold medicines or supplements. It was a really noticeable phenomenon. We were in the middle of a viral pandemic but the usual viral infections were nearly completely absent. We had virtually zero requests for flu medicines all winter, and even within our team we had a lot less illness-related absences than we would expect.  Continue reading →
