One week to go before the TCS London Marathon... training is reduced, mileage tapered with more emphasis on getting enough sleep and watching what you eat.

Are you struggling with an injury... perhaps a twisted ankle or swollen knee? Rather than the RICE method, many runners have told us the most effective way to reduce swelling and aid recovery is to apply our award-winning Bexters Soda Crystals using our purpose-designed applicator wrap. Treatment of choice for many top athletes and sportsmn and women around the world.

Helen recommends keeping a sachet with handy Perkins Pocket in your kit bag for emergencies, as well as adding to a warm bath when you get home after completing the event to ease aching muscles and help you sleep.

Marathon runner Jack told us: "Bexters were so helpful in mitigating the pain from my ankle injury ahead of the London Marathon and I am sure using the applicator wrap will improve my recovery even further and get me back on track... thank you for these 10/10 natural products."

With marathon season underway, we came across an intriguing study by Cardiff Metropolitan University suggesting that lying in a hot bath can improve fitness levels, especially in distance runners.

It's the latest in a long line of research that seems to show heat treatment can improve blood flow and oxygen levels, critical to maintaining fitness.

To enhance the benefits, Helen recommends adding Bexters Soda Crystals to the bath water, treatment of choice for runners and athletes across many sports, to aid recovery and ease aching muscles after training or performance.

Triathlete Paul told us: "Bexters are fantastic for soaking in the bath to aid recovery from training, or directly onto a swollen area using an applicator wrap."

We are no weather experts but it seems the wet, mild winter has created an explosion of tree pollen much earlier than usual.
Our award-winning aromatherapy blend of essential oils could be the rescue remedy you are searching for! And at just £12.95 for our handy rollerball it's like having your own first aid kit in your bag or pocket.

Easy to apply and safe to use, just roll it over the cheekbones once or twice, press in the oil and breathe in the fragrant oils helping to unblock your nose.

Every year, hayfever sufferers have told us it does make a difference. Practical steps you can take include smearing a little vaseline below the nostrils to trap pollen before it causes a bout of sneezing.

Here at Bowen Supplies HQ we are very familiar with Equine Muscle Release Therapy - EMRT as many of our dual qualified Bowen Therapist colleagues use our natural Bexters crystals when treating horses with EMRT, commonly known as equine Bowen.

Some of them will be heading to the National Equine Show this weekend reminding owners, riders and those who care for horses of the benefits of Bowen therapy for humans and their four-legged friends!

Bexters have been used by equestrians and equine therapists in their home country of Australia for over 20 years and we are proud to be able to supply them here in the UK and indeed, throughout Europe.

Used as a soak or in a wrap to reduce swelling and inflammation, good results have been reported for many of the ailments and minor injuries commonly affecting horses causing pain and discomfort... or worse. From pony club up to elite competition these ailments include swollen joints, tendon sprains, windgalls, bruised soles and laminitis.

Equine therapist Caroline Hamilton from Bedfordshire is a fan: "A Bexters crystals soak is amazing at easing bruised soles," she told us. "I use them with my own horse and recommend them to clients' when working on their horses."

For more information, to place an order or ask Helen a question please see our dedicated web page https://www.bowensuppliesbyhelen.com/bexters4horses/ Or you could just post a comment here and we'll get back to you asap.

We are told conditions are excellent this month, not only in Italy but across many of the most popular ski resorts in the Alps where fresh, deep snowfall is creating big demand.
If you are planning a skiing trip this season, don't forget to pop a sachet of crystals into your luggage to ease those aching muscles after a day on the slopes, and perhaps a small bottle of to relieve those itchy chilblains!
