Dear community, winter has arrived and with it the familiar mix of chilly days, darker evenings and a real need to support our immune systems. This month we look at simple herbal allies for the season, a deep dive into rosehip foraging, a functional fitness focus on hanging and a nourishing recipe you can make at home.
Fire Cider: Your Winter Immunity Ally
This traditional folk remedy combines powerful immune-boosting ingredients in a spicy, tangy tonic. Fire cider supports circulation, helps ward off winter bugs, and warms you from the inside out.
Functional Fitness: The Power of Hanging
In winter, we often become more sedentary, but maintaining strength and mobility remains crucial. Hanging exercises are particularly beneficial for shoulder health, spine decompression, and grip strength - all fundamental aspects of functional fitness that support everyday movements.
Winter Foraging Guide
Even in winter, nature offers abundant healing plants. Rosehips are one of the brightest sights in winter hedgerows. These vivid red fruits are naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, making them a perfect seasonal ally for immune support.
How to use them
• Rosehip syrup: Beautiful drizzled on porridge, yoghurt or added to warm water.
• Rosehip tea: Simmer gently for a fruity brew that supports immunity.
• Rosehip honey: Infuse chopped rosehips in honey for a soothing winter spoonful.
Practical tip: Once gathered, split the rosehips and remove the seeds, as the fine hairs inside can irritate the throat. Dry the flesh for teas or use fresh for syrups and infusions.
