📚 Back to School + Wellness 🌿

As the little ones head back to school and the colder months start creeping in, our immune systems can sometimes feel the pressure.

That’s where echinacea can give a natural boost 💪✨

Echinacea has been traditionally used to:
🌱 Treating colds, flu and upper respiratory infections
🌱 Strengthen the immune system and help PREVENT colds and flu!
🌱 Shorten the duration of colds if they do sneak in

Swing by after the school run and take advantage of our little treat for you! ⬇️ A perfect pick-me-up to keep the whole family feeling their best through busy school days and cosy autumn nights.

💚 Special Offer 💚

When you buy any Echinacea Drops (100ml or 50ml), you’ll get the Throat Spray for HALF PRICE– a handy duo for prevention and soothing when you need it most!

We love them!

It’s Top Pick Tuesday!

🌟🌟 Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 🌟🌟

Let’s shine a light on this super important vitamin 😁

🔹 Why it matters 💪

B1 is water-soluble, which means your body doesn’t store it. You can become deficient in as little as 3 weeks, so it’s something we need to top up regularly through food or supplementation.

🔹 Some signs you may be low in B1 😓

Loss of appetite
Fatigue
Irritability
Nerve issues — tingling, rapid heartbeat, confusion, or muscle weakness

🔹 Why deficiency can happen 🤔

Long-term alcohol use
Older age
Diets high in processed grains
Some Eating disorders
Certain medications (like those for fluid retention)

🔹 How to keep levels up ⬆️

Include foods such as black beans, macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds, plain yoghurt, and lentils on the regular.

👉 If it feels tricky to get enough through diet alone, we also stock the Viridian B1 supplement for an easy boost!

The Team at Healthfare are always happy to chat about any questions you might have 💚

The “Dark Night of the Soul” vs. Depression

• Both can feel like emptiness and despair.

• Depression closes us down — it drains energy, isolates and makes meaning disappear.

• The Dark Night of the Soul, though painful, carries a hidden invitation: a breakdown of old identity so a truer self can emerge.

Perhaps they are two sides of the same coin. Maybe an active or passive expression of the same energy.
It is possible to transition from depression and chaos into stable awakening, you just need the right support.

💡 Takeaway: If you’re here, don’t rush to escape. Listen. What is life asking you to explore?

Putting the feelers out…
🌱 Is Your Teen or Young Adult Struggling to Find Their Place in the World?
📣 Call for Interest
Weekend Wellness Workshops for Ages 16–26

As parents, we want to see our young people thrive — not just academically, but emotionally and socially. Today’s world can make that difficult.

Many young adults are feeling stuck, overwhelmed by screens, unsure of how to build friendships, or just not confident about stepping into the responsibilities of adult life.

We’re developing a local, weekend workshop to support this important life transition — and we’re reaching out to see who might be interested.

🧠 What we’ll explore:
• How the digital world impacts motivation, mood, and focus
• Building real-world social confidence and emotional resilience
• Nutrition and lifestyle skills that promote energy and mental clarity
• Journaling, guided discussions, movement, and creative activities
• A healthy, non-judgmental space to reflect, connect, and grow

These sessions are designed and facilitated by a qualified psychotherapist with a background in neuroscience and natural health.

📍If you’re a parent of a 16–26 year old who might benefit from this kind of experience, we’d love to hear from you.

💬 Comment below or send us a message to express interest — no commitment, just curiosity at this stage.

Let’s help the next generation feel empowered to level up — in real life.

☀️☀️ Temps set to be higher again over the coming week ~ time to step up your hydration game! ☀️☀️

Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining body temperature, joint movement, aiding digestion, cognitive function and overall health.

The best way to prevent dehydration is to drink enough water. You might have also come across drinks with added ‘electrolytes’.

Do you need these?

Mostly, you get electrolytes from a balanced diet, and you only need extra supplementation if you are exercising strenuously for extended periods, sweating heavily, or have been sick with vomiting or diarrhea.

There are also natural electrolytes-rich drinks like coconut water, watermelon & other fruit juices, smoothies and cow’s milk too! 🍉🥥

Pop in the shop for a wide range of cooling drinks 🤍☀️☀️

(Pssst… we also have yummy organic / dairy free ice -creams! 🤤)
