ALL THE FUN OF THE FESTIVAL!

Festival season is upon us! Happy Days! Not so much fun if you find yourself on the receiving end of one of the following hazards. Here’s our top five for making sure you don’t!

Dodgy tum? If you’ve eaten something you shouldn’t have, try Hübner’s Silicea Gastro Intestinal Gel. Designed to help soothe the symptoms of diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, silica gel helps to bind pathogens and reduce flatulence. It can also be used for more chronic conditions including IBS. Available in convenient 15ml sachets that do not need refrigerating, Hübner’s Silicea Gastro Intestinal Gel Direct costs £12.95 for 15 x 15ml sachets and is available from www.healthy2u.co.uk.

 

Forever getting bitten whilst camping? Mozzies and biting insects are guaranteed to put a dampener on things when you’re outside, what with their dive-bombing and blood-sucking antics. So whether you’re back-packing through South America, chilling in your back garden or camping out at a festival, make sure you’re armed with Zap-It! A small handheld piezo device, it generates a harmless (no stronger than a gentle pinch) low, electrical impulse when ‘clicked’ against a bite. These ‘zaps’, created by crystals, work to reduce histamine flow and stimulate capillaries into flushing out toxins, thereby stopping the urge to itch and scratch. Zap-It! can be used on up to 1,000 bites (that would be unlucky) and is available in different colours from selected health stores, pharmacies, garden centres and Asda and Superdrug shops nationwide. It is also available online from Amazon or www.ecobrands.co.uk and retails at £5.95.

 

Stay safe in the sun with EVY Sun Mousse: Consistently voted Sweden’s No1 safest sunscreen, EVY absorbs into the top layer of the skin for a non-greasy, non pore-clogging finish. This patented ‘Proderm’ technology provides enhanced protection against deeper penetrating UVA rays and stays put. Long-lasting and effective (one application lasts for up to six hours) there are six formulations to choose from, including EVY 30 Kids and EVY SPF 50, as well as EVY After Sun Mousse. All offer more than 90% UVA protection, far above the EU minimum of 33%, and are UVA five-star rated. EVY Sun Mousse costs £18.95 for 150ml and comes in factors 10, 20, 30, 30 Kids and 50 (SPF50 costs £18.95 for 100ml). EVY After Sun Mousse also costs £18.95 for 150ml. All are available from www.evy.uk.com.

 

Over-indulged? Formulated with essential herbs, vitamins and minerals that will naturally help your body to break down alcohol, Vie Recovery patches use transdermal technology to deliver their active ingredients into the bloodstream through the skin. These include vitamin C, green tea extract, globe artichoke extract, thiamine, taurine and chromium picolinate.

Simply apply a patch to a clean, dry and hairless area of your skin before your first drink. Patches can be left on for up to 24 hours. Vie Recovery Patches cost £4.95 for six patches and are available online from www.vie-healthcare.com

 

Feeling a little under the weather? Nothing screams communal like a festival campsite. Stop germs in their tracks with Hübner’s ImmunPRO Infection Blocker (£7.95 for 15 tablets, www.boots.com). It works by creating a physical barrier in the mouth and throat against germs and viruses and is ideal for when close contact with other people is unavoidable. Simply suck one tablet when you are at increased risk for two hours’ protection.

Now, where did you put those glow sticks?
