Posted on by

Teething can be a particularly trying time for both babies and parents. Most babies will begin teething around 6 months, however every child is different and teething symptoms can vary considerably.

The good news is that parents can do something to help ease the discomfort of teething, as well as teething rings, toys and homemade remedies such as breastmilk lollies, there is also a gentle, natural remedy that has been trusted by generations of parents for over 150 years! The remedy is Ashton & Parsons Teething Powders (£7,00, 30 sachets, Boots) a UK-made, multi-award winning, traditional herbal remedy, containing tincture of Matricaria (a flowering plant related to Chamomile), used for the symptomatic relief of teething pain and the symptoms associated with teething.

There it quickly forms a barrier to help relieve baby’s teething pain, help reduce discomfort and help lessen pain.

SBC Leg Soothing Gel Review

Posted on by

SBC Leg Soothing Gel ReviewSBC Leg Soothing Gel is a refreshing water-based gel which is great for tired and over-worked legs. I had never heard of SBC before but I loved the packaging which was simple but effective. It has arnica in it which speed up healing and is good for getting rid of bruises a bit quicker. It has a lovely smell and a little of the product goes a long way so it lasts a long time.

The ingredients are all natural, it has menthol, camphor, witch hazel and arnica. It gives an instant refreshing feeling when I put it on and in the long term made my overworked legs feel better. I injured my back at the beginning of the year so have been mostly exercising my lower body, this gel takes the strain of my poor legs.

The gel absorbs quickly and leaves legs cool and soothed. It is not sticky after application and the directions even say you can put it on over tights or stockings. It comes in an easy dispensable bottle and is a lovely blue-green colour.

Would I buy it? Yes. Good stuff.
