Bamboo Cutlery Set
Many people find that food tastes different during chemotherapy treatment and people often complain of a metallic taste in their mouth which can be made worse by using metal cutlery which is why we’ve included a bamboo cutlery set.
Scilian Lemon Xylitol Mints (15g)
Mint is well known for easing nausea and we’ve specifically chosen lemon mints because feedback tells us they are gentler for sensitive or sore mouths that chemo treatment can cause. Peppersmith mints also contain Xylitol and studies have shown that Xylitol can help reduce tooth decay by helping to prevent plaque bacteria sticking to the teeth. Oral complications are common with chemotherapy treatment and so dental hygiene is especially important. Sucking Xylitol mints can also help to relieve a dry mouth that some people experience when going through chemo treatment.
Peppermint Xylitol Chewing Gum (15g / 10 pieces)
Mint is well known for relieving nausea and this minty fresh gum is sugar-free and sweetened with 100% Xylitol, a naturally derived ingredient. Studies have shown that Xylitol can help reduce tooth decay by helping to prevent plaque bacteria sticking to the teeth. Oral complications are common with chemotherapy treatment and so dental hygiene is especially important. Chewing Xylitol Gum can also help to relieve a dry mouth that some people get when going through chemo treatment.
Bamboo Pocket Tissues (1 packet containing 10 tissues)
It's always handy to have a packet of tissues around when dealing with the emotions that a cancer diagnosis can bring, but did you know that alongside hairloss, chemotherapy patients lose their nasal hair and eyebrows & eyelashes often resulting in a runny nose and watery eyes. Made from 100% sustainable bamboo, these tissues are eco-friendly and plastic free and they are also naturally hypoallergenic.
