How to Stay Healthy this Fall

As the temperatures start to drop and fall is in full swing, it is easier to catch a cold.  There is something about the change in season that brings on that stubborn cold that can linger for weeks.  With fall often a busy season, it is important to do everything you can to stay healthy and prevent you and your family from getting sick.  At Our Green House we have lots of great products to help keep that cold away, and we also wanted to remind you of a few basic tips to stay healthy.

1.  Wash you hands!  The germs that cause colds are often spread through skin-to-skin contact.  Make sure you and your family are washing your hands before you eat, when you get home from work/school, and of course after using the restroom.

2.  Drink plenty of fluids.   It is easier to get sick if you are hydrated, so make sure you are drinking at least 8 8oz glasses of water a day.  Remember, soda and coffee don't count!

3.  Get plenty of sleep.  When you are overworked and don't sleep enough, it can be easier to catch a cold.  Have a soothing cup of tea and then hit the sack at a decent hour to avoid getting run down by a cold.

4.  Support your immune system.  Taking your vitamins, getting some sun, and supplementing with natural remedies such as bitters are all great ways to keep your immune system up to fighting off germs.

Wonderful Dandelion Products

It is dandelion week here at Our Green House and today we are excited to share some of the wonderful dandelion products we have in stock!  

Since dandelions have lots of medicinal properties, it should come as no surprise that people have been drinking dandelion tea for centuries!  At Our Green House we carry a few varieties of dandelion tea and they are all great options with lots of benefits.  Dandelions are great for inflammation, boosting immune function, improving liver & kidney function, and they are high in antioxidants. 

 

If you don't have time to relax and enjoy a cup of tea, make sure to check out our organic Urban Moonshine Bitters.  Many of these bitters contain dandelion and they come in a variety of flavors that each help with different ailments.  Digestive bitters get your digestive juices flowing and can also help with the immune system as well as soothe tummy troubles and much more.

 

And because we don't want to leave out the little ones, how sweet is this organic sleep sack with dandelions?!  Your baby will drift off to sleep safely and comfortably tuck inside this sleep sack.  We just love the pattern and it is perfect for a boy or a girls.
