A Third Of Brits Say Their Cough And Cold Symptoms Are Worse Now Than Two Years Ago But Natural Health Solutions May Be The Winter SOS All Brits Need…

When you’re struck down by a cough or a cold, it can really get in the way of life, making work, social plans and even sleep, a real struggle. It seems as though the nation’s symptoms are only getting worse however. A third of Brits feel the symptoms for a cold and cough are more ruthless and relentless now and take longer to go away than in the past two or three years.[1] That’s according to new research by Puressentiel – uk.puressentiel.com – the brains behind the evidence backed plant-based health products for everyday wellness needs. Puressentiel has also found that a high one in three Brits have had a cough or cold in the last month.

To help stop coughs and colds from becoming a hindrance, 45% of Brits admit that they have managed the symptoms with self-care cough and cold medicines, while 41% used painkillers. There’s also 40% who admit they just rest as much as they can. But, plant-based products could offer a proven solution to reducing the impact of these symptoms AND stopping them from occurring in the first place.

GP, Dr Nisa Aslam from Puressentiel explains: “Puressentiel’s range of plant-based products uses nature as a pharmacy to provide an effective, natural and ethical choice for health and wellbeing. The Puressentiel Purifying Air Spray for example, now available from Holland & Barrett, combines 41 essential oils — including two species of lavender, eucalyptus, lemon, and geranium (pelargonium) — to combat airborne bacteria and viruses, fungal spores, and house-dust mites.

“It essentially purifies indoor air reducing levels of toxins and irritants which can cause respiratory problems such as coughs, and a blocked nose.” In fact, one lab test showed that the Puressentiel Purifying Air Spray killed house-dust mites — a common cause of allergic wheeze and asthma — in less than an hour[2].

Natural health specialist and chemist from Puressentiel, Dr Tim Bond adds: “As the autumn months approach when we are likely to spend more time inside thanks to the weather, it’s important to keep the air around us clean. The air we breathe can impact our lungs so we want to keep it free from bacteria, to reduce the chances of us catching an illness or being affected by respiratory issues. That’s why Puressentiel Purifying Air Spray is somewhat of a secret saviour when it comes to purifying the air around us.”

What makes Puressentiel’s Purifying Air Spray so special:

Could Natural Plant Backed Solutions Be The Self-Care Answer For Busting Coughs And Colds?

According to the new research1 commissioned by Puressentiel 35% of people have tried natural solutions to help bust a cold, cough, or respiratory problems, while 40% would consider trying them. Of the ones who have tried natural solutions, over two thirds said they banished their coughs and colds. However, Dr Nisa Aslam adds: “It’s those aged 20 to 29 that are most likely to opt for natural solutions as 41% of this age group admitted they would be willing to try them. But, all the other age groups – kids included – can benefit from plant power too!”

Dr Nisa Aslam adds: “It’s important to address coughs, colds and respiratory problems due to the impact they can have on our life and mood. Not only can they be isolating, as 79% of people admit that they try to avoid people who have coughs and colds, but only 22% of Brits say that they would keep working with a cough or cold, meaning the majority of Brits have to take time away to recover.”
