Let’s Talk: Fall Allergies 🍁

Autumn brings beautiful leaves, cozy vibes… and unfortunately, allergies for many. From ragweed pollen to moldy leaves, fall triggers can leave you sneezing and sniffling. 😷

Common symptoms:
✔ Sneezing
✔ Stuffy nose
✔ Watery eyes
✔ Fatigue

🛡️ Tips to manage:
Stay indoors on high-pollen days, close windows, use air purifiers, and don’t forget to shower & change after being outside! Over-the-counter relief is also available — just ask your local Pharmasave team. 💊✨

Fall Mental Health Tip:

As daylight hours get shorter, your mood can take a hit — but there's a simple fix: get outside while you can! ☀️🌳

Take advantage of natural sunlight by spending time outdoors during the day. Whether it's a brisk walk, a scenic hike, or just sipping your coffee on the porch, every bit of daylight helps. 🌞🧠

September is Pain Awareness Month

Everyone experiences pain at some point — from injuries, surgeries, or even something as intense as kidney stones.

This is acute pain, and it usually goes away once the cause is treated. It serves as a warning sign. 🚨

But for millions of Canadians, pain doesn’t go away.
It lingers. It disrupts daily life. It’s called chronic pain — and it’s often invisible but very real. 🧠💬

Chronic pain can affect your ability to work, socialize, and enjoy life. It can lead to feelings of frustration, isolation, and even guilt.

💡 If you or someone you love is living with chronic pain, know that you’re not alone — and there is help.

Talk to your local Pharmasave pharmacist about options for pain management, support tools, and lifestyle strategies.

You don’t have to suffer in silence. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽
