Coronavirus CoVID-19

For the time being, the herbal medicine clinic will operate as normal at Cranmore One. However, I ask that anyone who has the following symptoms should not attend.

1. Fever
2. Dry cough (unproductive)
3. Shortness of Breath
4. Malaise (aches and pains)

If you have a runny nose and lots of mucous chances are you probably don't have the virus! Anyone attending, please use the sanitizers provided or wash your hands on entering and leaving the clinic.

The following information has been posted by NHS:

Stay at home for 7 days if you have either:

• a high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
• a new, continuous cough – this means you've started coughing repeatedly

Do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital.

You do not need to contact 111 to tell them you're staying at home.
Testing for coronavirus is not needed if you're staying at home.

 (I should add that if you still have these symptoms after 1 week and they are getting worse you should contact the authorities - latest research suggests the incubation period is up to 24 days - meaning you can infect others for this length of time). Children and young adults may get very mild symptoms and even no symptoms at all but some members of the population need to be extremely cautious.

The following populations are especially vulnerable and should also not attend clinic: The elderly, those with immuno-compromised conditions, and those with respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis or COPD.

I will be reviewing the situation regulalrly. If you need to reschedule your appointment please get in touch as soon as possible. In the meantime the following information will hopefully help.

• Eat garlic, leeks and onions regularly.
• Drink elderflower tea and cordial. Make a tea from elderflowers or purchase tea bags.
• Inhale essential oils of cinnamon, oregano and euclayptus (place 1-3 drops on a handkerchief and inhale regularly but avoid touching the skin).
• Use vitamin D3 supplements at 4000iu daily 
• Use vitamin C 250-500mg every 3 hours.
• Eat mushrooms and use mushroom products regularly

More information will be posted shortly. Stay safe! And - ask questions!!!
