HEALTH TIPS AND RECIPES

So the summer has arrived and for some this unfortunately means the inevitable itchy eyes, runny nose and scratchy throat that are all associated with hayfever. Gain health tips from our very own CNM Naturopath, Debbie Cotton.

This pesto can be used as a dressing on your favourite salad, as a simple dip or try stirring it through some whole grain pasta for a quick and easy meal. The garlic used is great for keeping away bugs and colds (not to mention the vampires!) and the nuts and oil are a great source of those essential fatty acids.

Ingredients:
- Basil
- Unroasted nuts (brazil/pine nuts)
- 3-5 cloves of fresh, shelled garlic
- Good quality olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesian or romano cheese (optional)

To prepare:
Finely chop or blend all of the dry ingredients into a food processor, until the consistency is mixed and cut, but with a few “chunky” bits left in. Add enough oil to make a smooth consistency.

HOMEOPATHIC FIRST AID AT HOME

“My son was playing football with his friends at school and kicked the ball into a nearby forest. I went in to retrieve it and wandered straight into some stinging nettles. I was stung all over my arms which was very sore and itchy. Being aware of the homeopathic principle “treat like with like” I had a bright idea that I would make myself some nettle tea. I drank this and dabbed the actual tea bag on to the nettle stings and within 10 minutes the rash was completely gone and I was pain free. Treating like with like really does work!” - L.O. CNM staff
