Today we observe World Arthritis Day (WAD), a global moment to raise awareness of rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs).

These conditions affect more than 200 different disorders, often quietly and gradually, but their impact on daily life is significant.

👉 Did you know many people live with RMDs without fully understanding what they are or how to manage them?

This World Arthritis Day, let’s shine a light on:

🔹 How RMDs affect mobility, pain levels, and quality of life
🔹 The importance of early diagnosis and treatment
🔹 Strategies to manage symptoms — from movement and physical therapy to anti-inflammatory support
🔹 How communities, families, and health services can support those living with arthritis

If you or someone you love experiences joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or reduced function, don’t ignore it.

Our pharmacy team is here to:
✔️ Listen to your concerns
✔️ Help you understand your options
✔️ Recommend products, therapies, or referrals that may help

Let’s work together to bring visibility to RMDs, support those affected, and push for better care.

💙 World Mental Health Day 2025: Mental health in humanitarian emergencies

⚠️ Disasters like conflicts, natural catastrophes, and health crises hit more than infrastructure. They strike the emotional and psychological core of individuals and communities.

Nearly one in five people affected by emergencies may experience a mental health condition. Even those without diagnosable conditions often endure distress, fear, grief, and disruption.

On this World Mental Health Day, let’s commit to:

🤝 Ensuring access to mental health services for those in crisis
🤝 Supporting community-based care, both during and after emergencies
🤝 Reducing barriers — stigma, cost, language — so no one is left behind

Because mental health is essential to recovery, resilience, and rebuilding lives. Let’s work together to make care accessible even in the hardest times.

💙 Mental Health Awareness Week 2025: Top Up Together

This year’s theme encourages us to nurture connection and collective wellbeing. Research shows that when we uplift each other through shared experiences, the benefits to mental health are deeper and longer-lasting.

✨ Throughout the week, use the Five Ways to Wellbeing:

Connect / Me whakawhanaunga — reach out, listen, share time
Give / Tukua — acts of kindness go a long way
Be Active / Me kori tonu — movement with whānau and friends supports body + mind
Take Notice / Me aro tonu — pause, be present, notice your world
Keep Learning / Me ako tonu — stretch your mind, grow together

Let’s top up our wellbeing together: your participation matters.

Whether it’s a kind word, a walk with a friend, or trying something new, these small actions build a stronger, healthier community.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

This month, we stand with Breast Cancer Foundation NZ in their mission to achieve zero deaths from breast cancer.

Everyone’s breasts are different – that’s why it’s so important to know what’s normal for you. Being familiar with the look and feel of your breasts means you’re more likely to spot changes early, and early detection saves lives.

💗 Take a moment this month to check in with your own health.
💗 Share this message with the women (and men!) in your life.

👂 Due to the delicate nature of the ear, it is not recommended to use cotton tips or other instruments to clean inside. Doing so can push wax further in and cause more problems.

If you suspect a blockage from ear wax, the safest step is to talk to a healthcare professional. They may recommend WAXSOL®, a gentle water-based solution that softens and breaks down hardened ear wax, making it easier to remove.

💧 Just two doses over two nights is usually enough to soften the wax, allowing it to come out naturally.

📍 Ask our pharmacy team about WAXSOL® today and breathe easy knowing your ears are cared for safely.

*Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional.

💊 Spring Clean Your Medicine Cabinet!

Spring is the season of renewal, and that includes your medicine cabinet! Taking a few minutes to review, refresh, and safely dispose of outdated or unused medicines is a simple step that makes a big difference for your health and safety.

Why it matters:
✔️ Expired medicines can lose potency or become unsafe
✔️ Prevent accidental ingestion by kids or pets
✔️ Reduce clutter and confusion when you need fast relief
✔️ Protect the environment with safe disposal

💡 Tip: Never flush or bin old medicines. Bring them into your local pharmacy for free, secure disposal.

Once you’ve cleared out the old, restock with spring essentials like:

🌼 Allergy relief: antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops
🩹 First aid basics: bandages, antiseptics, pain relief
💊 Immune support: Vitamin C, zinc, probiotics
☀️ Sun protection: SPF creams and lip balms

Not sure what to keep or toss? Our friendly pharmacists are here to help with advice, seasonal health tips, and promotions on spring essentials.
