Water Tracker Bottle (1litre bottle)
It's so important to stay hydrated during chemotherapy treatment and it’s often easier to take small sips regularly throughout the day. A great way to remember to take these regular sips, is with a ‘Water Tracker’ bottle. A time tracker on the bottle reminds your loved one when they should be taking that next sip to ensure they drink little and often throughout the day. Random colour allocation.
Hydration Sachet (2 x 3g)
Containing zero sugar and no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives, these hydration sachets offer a faster way to restore a healthy level of hydration than drinking water alone. Random flavour allocation.
Ice Pop Mould
Some chemotherapy treatments can cause sore or dry mouths. Sucking on a ice pop can refresh the mouth and provide some relief. 20cm long.
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
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
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.
Sour Cherries Gummy Sweets (120g)
People going through chemotherapy treatment often experience an unpleasant metallic taste in their mouth. Sucking sour sweets can help to alleviate this symptom.
Ginger Beer (330ml)
Ginger Beer is often recommended by cancer patients to help ease nausea, combat taste issues and help with hydration. We have chosen Heather Ale's Ginger Beer as it offers a bold, spicy kick and contains only natural ingredients and real fruit flavours, making it a healthy alternative to traditional Ginger Beer.
