Did you know we mix up our own blends of herbal teas at Bodywise? 🫖
Herbal Teas are often an underrated way of getting a dose of the herbs. They are an amazing form for people who are highly sensitive and also for children.
You can brew yourself a strong tea to sip away on or even make a large ‘tea bag’ for the bath with the herbs tied up in a cheese cloth 🛁! Bathing in the herbs is great for children due to their large surface area of skin - optimal for transdermal absorption!

Our Immunity tea has lovely herbs such as Hyssop, Thyme & Elderflower 🌱

Come in and see our wide range of dried herbs 💚

Here are our top tips on how to get the best out of your iron supplement.
Get maximum absorption by understanding how Iron interacts with food and drinks. Foods that inhibit absorption include plant components in vegetables, tea and coffee (e.g., polyphenols, phytates), and calcium. “Giving 165 mg Ca as milk, cheese, or calcium chloride reduced absorption by 50-60%”.
Check the facts : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1984335/.
So take the above several hours away from Iron supplementation.
Vitamin C however will aid in absorption of oral iron, particularly when taken with meals. About 6 mg of elemental ascorbic acid for each 1 mg of iron. Check your supplement to see if it’s included or take it separately.
Foods that enhance your iron levels include, very well soaked and cooked beans & lentils, red meats, spinach, and citrus fruits.
Secondly, watch out for a down regulation (decrease) of absorption due to a protein called Hepcidin. Our bodies are smart and if too much iron is sensed then hepcidin levels will increase resulting in less iron being absorbed. This can be beneficial as we don’t want too much iron or a risk of developing hemochromatosis.
Therefore it can be beneficial to take your iron intermittently eg every second day, in the morning with a breakfast that includes fruit and muesli soaked well over night, with little dairy and possibly a double dose.
Of course we are always available to chat at Bodywise about the best options for you! 🌻

New Zealand is experiencing a La Niña weather pattern, this is when warm water is brought over the Pacific and results in a wet humid summer. These conditions have an effect on the pollen🤧
