Glycerol is often used to create the slush effect. But in high quantities, especially to small children, glycerol can cause shock, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and loss of consciousness.

That’s why current advice says slushies with glycerol are not recommended for children under five. And, older children should be limited to just one slush a day.

But slushies have been back in the news this week, with new research suggesting the age threshold may need to be even higher.

🌿 Herb of the Month: Ground Ivy - Glechoma hederecea 🌿

Despite its common name, Ground Ivy is actually in the mint family. It was historically taken for bronchitis, sore throats, digestive problems, as a diuretic, to help headaches, arthritis, menstrual disorders and topically for skin irritations. This apparent wide variety of healing uses could be due to the antioxidant properties from various phenolic compounds, including rosmarinic, caffeic, and ferulic acids, and flavonoids such as rutin, isoquercetin, genistin, and daidzin, among others!
