  1. Lets do a little Spring Clean! by Hannah Dare of Organico (Published in May's edition of the Grapevine)

    Modern living can easily burden our whole system. We eat unhealthy foods, we drink unhealthy drinks and we don’t give our bodies a chance to recover and flush out the toxins we ingest. Traditionally many cultures had fasts built into the year, like Lent or Ramadan. Unfortunately the tradition of fasting has waned in Ireland and this means that our...
  2. Is drinking our water bad for your health? Let’s ask questions about fluoride!

    I love water. It is my favorite drink. It’s my 3 year old daughters favorite drink. As we all know, drinking water is good for our health – isn't it? But what if the water we are drinking contains a chemical is actually damaging our health and contributing to our excessively high rates of certain cancers, of neurological diseases, of...
  3. Fresh Turmeric – a superfood with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and antioxidant properties.

    Have you ever eaten fresh turmeric? (Or tumeric even) It’s fantastic in curries of course, but some people make a tea (a bit like ginger root tea) from fresh turmeric root (it even looks a lot like ginger) to ease aches and pains. Turmeric has fantastic anti-inflammatory properties, and in Chinese and Indian herbal medicines it has been used to...
  4. Nutritional Fact File: L-Glutamine and GI Naturals by Hannah Dare

    Sometimes I find that I get so caught up with new health products that I forget some of the most tried and tested ones. L-Glutamine is a really interesting supplement. It isn’t new (although there is a new digestive tablet called GI Naturals containing Glutamine that I will discuss further at the end). It can be helpful for a variety...
  5. The Acid Truth by Hannah Dare

    There was an ad on the TV last night that got me thinking about digestion and specifically about stomach acid, because by watching the ad (which was for an antacid pill) you would be forgiven for thinking that stomach acid is a Bad Thing and that we should all take these magic pills to reduce it. The truth is actually...
  6. Male Menopause - Myth or Reality? By Hannah Dare

    Health (or lack thereof) is still a touchy subject for a lot of Irish men. Unfortunately health issues are often ignored as they are somehow perceived as some kind of a personal failure and lack of manliness. There is a lot of great work being done currently to address this. June is international Men’s Health Month and I’ve decided to...

    Home remedies for coughs and colds by Hannah Dare
    With the changing weather we can already see an increase in the number of bugs going around – the last week in August brought a sharp rise in the numbers of people looking for Echinacea and Ivy Thyme (a good cough remedy), as well as Vitamin C and Garlic. But a home remedy I am very fond of (and have...

    Carrageen Moss Drink - good for sore throats and dry coughs
    It's really easy to make a nourishing soothing drink from Carrageen Moss. It makes a jelly-like thick drink which, when you add lots of honey and lemon juice, tastes pretty OK and really feels like its doing you good. I personally use the dried seaweed you buy in most healthfood shops - but if you are very keen you can...
