Hit the recharge button!

Not quite feeling yourself of late? Maybe you find yourself collapsing in a heap at the end of the day, or struggling to drag yourself out of bed in the mornings – it could be from that head cold you never quite got over, or perhaps it’s just the cold weather that’s making you feel flat, stressed, fatigued and lacking a good night’s sleep.

If this sounds all too familiar – there are ways you can hit that recharge button and get yourself back on track to feeling great again.

Herbs have been used for centuries to assist with restoration and recovery. They can be helpful in times of stress, bring peace to a racing mind that interferes with sleep, or assist with recovery from illness if the road back to health is a long one. Some herbs can also be great at simply supporting energy levels when you need to get up and get moving each and every day.

Astragalus is one of the most widely used herbs of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), supporting a healthy stress response in the body while also having a positive effect on the immune system, supporting both immune system health and healthy immune system function.

Siberian ginseng is a great herb for relieving fatigue, weariness and feelings of general debility, while at the same time supporting energy levels and immune system health.

Schisandra and the immune supporting mushroom Reishi can also be helpful, having been used in TCM to relieve a cough.

Finally, Holy basil, a plant known for its vibrant red berries, can be beneficial for both stress and sleep. Holy basil relieves the symptoms of stress while at the same time enhances body adaptation to stress and improves sleep quality.

The combination of these five herbs could be just what you need to help hit that recharge button, with each of them featuring in a new product to the Herbs of Gold range, Herbs of Gold Astra Recharge!

This unique formula contains high-strength Astragalus to support healthy immune system function and Siberian ginseng supporting mental focus and stamina, while at the same time relieving feelings of general debility and fatigue.

Astra Recharge has also been specifically formulated using Holixer™ a clinically trialled extract of Holy basil that relieves symptoms of stress and promotes the body’s adaptation to stress*.

If you’re feeling flat and looking to hit the recharge button, why not consider Herbs of Gold Astra Recharge!
