Let’s talk about the mineral that quietly keeps your whole body running — magnesium.

If you’ve been feeling a little:
– tense in your shoulders
– stressed for no reason
– tired but not sleeping well
– crampy, twitchy, or “over it”

…your body might be whispering: “Hello? Magnesium?”

What magnesium actually helps with:
✔️ Calms your nervous system
✔️ Supports deeper sleep
✔️ Helps muscles relax
✔️ Eases stress tension
✔️ Supports steady energy
✔️ Keeps your heart, nerves & mood happy

Small mineral. Big difference.

Pop in and chat if you’re curious about what type of magnesium might suit you — every body is different, and we’ll guide you to the right one.

Kom ons gesels oor die mineraal wat stil-stil jou hele liggaam aan die gang hou — magnesium.

Voel jy deesdae meer gereeld:
– gespanne skouers
– stres sonder rede
– moeg maar kan nie lekker slaap nie
– krampe, spiertrekkings of sommer “oor alles”

…dan fluister jou liggaam dalk: “Hallo? Magnesium?”

Waarvoor magnesium regtig help:
✔️ Kalmeer jou senuweestelsel
✔️ Bevorder dieper slaap
✔️ Ontspan spiere
✔️ Verminder stres-spanning
✔️ Help met volhoubare energie
✔️ Ondersteun hart, senuwees & gemoed

Klein mineraal. Groot verskil.

Kom loer in as jy wil weet watter soort magnesium die beste vir jou liggaam sal werk — ons help graag.

A midweek detox — the real kind.

Not the lemon-water, celery-juice, 20-day cleanse version.

We’re talking about:
✨ Clearing your mind

This is detox — for your mind and your body.

ñ Middel-van-die-week-detoks — die regte soort.

Nie die suurlemoenwater, selderysap, 20-dae skoonmaakplan nie.

Om mee te begin, iets wat:
✨ Jou kop ligter maak
✨ Jaareinde-stres losser maak
✨ Jou stelsel te met klein, rustige gewoontes

Probeer dit vandag:
✔️ 15 minute vars lug
✔️ 2 minute stadig asemhaal
✔️ 1 uur sonder jou foon
✔️ ’n Glas water
✔️ ’n Kleurryke bord kos

Summer’s calling… are you ready? 😎☀️

Before December chaos arrives, here are 5 tiny habits your pharmacist swears by:

✔️ Start the morning with a glass of water before coffee wakes up your personality.
✔️ Add fruit to your day — your skin and energy both love it.
✔️ Move a little more — a walk, a stretch, a swim.
✔️ Eat something green (no, mint in a mojito doesn’t count).
✔️ Slow down your evenings — sleep heals far more than we realise.

Summer health isn’t complicated — it’s consistent.

Die somer roep… is jy gereed? 😎☀️

Voor Desember-chaos aanbreek, hier’s 5 klein gewoontes waarop jou apteker staatmaak:

✔️ Begin jou dag met ’n glas water voordat koffie jou persoonlikheid wakker maak.
✔️ Voeg vrugte by jou dag — jou vel én jou energievlakke hou daarvan.
✔️ Beweeg ’n bietjie meer — ’n stappie, ’n strek, ’n swem.
✔️ Eet iets groens (nee, mint in ’n mojito tel nie).
✔️ Maak jou aandroetine stadiger — slaap genees meer as wat ons d**k.

Somer-gesondheid is nie ingewikkeld nie — dit gaan oor ñ gereelde gesonde roetine.

At Essential Health Pharmacy, we believe health isn’t just about bodies — it’s about safety, dignity and belonging.

Today, we join the nation in purple. We stand with survivors. We remember those we’ve lost. We commit to the change we hope to see.

Because true wellness starts when we all feel safe.

By Essential Health Apteek glo ons dat gesondheid nie net oor liggame gaan nie — dit gaan oor veiligheid, waardigheid en saamgevoel.

Vandag word ons pers saam met die res van Suid Afrika. Ons staan saam met die vegters. Ons onthou dié wat nie meer hier is nie. Ons word deel van die verandering wat ons wil sien.

Want ware welstand begin wanneer ons almal veilig voel.

Even when symptoms ease, the bacteria aren’t fully gone — stopping early just invites them back, stronger and more resistant.

Finish the course.
Protect your future self.
Keep antibiotics working for all of us.

Selfs al voel jy stukke beter, beteken dit nie dat al die bakterieë heeltemal weg is nie - jy nooi hulle net terug. En die keer is hulle sterker as voorheen.

Voltooi jou kurses.
Beskerm jouself teen verdere infeksie.
Laat antibiotika sy werk doen vir ons almal.

If you’re rereading the same email and still not sure what it’s saying — you’re in excellent company. 😅

Here’s a little pharmacist wisdom for days like today:
Your body believes everything your mind tells it.

So instead of:
“I’m finished.”
Try:
“I’m tired… but I’m okay.”
“It’s been a week… but I’m managing.”
“I’m overwhelmed… but I’m doing my best.”

Your chemistry follows your language — be kind to yourself today. 🌿
As jy dieselfde e-pos drie keer lees en nóg niks verstaan nie — welkom, jy’s tussen vriende. 😅

Hier’s bietjie apteker-wysheid vir sulke dae:
Jou liggaam glo wat jou kop sê.

So eerder as om te sê:
“Ek kan nie meer nie.”
Sê:
“Ek’s moeg… maar ek’s okay.”
“Dit was ’n lang week… maar ek hou kop.”
“Ek voel oorweldig… maar ek probeer my bes.”

Jou welstand volg jou woorde — wees geduldig met jouself vandag. 🌿

Halfway there!

You’ve survived Monday. You’ve powered through Tuesday. Now it’s that part of the week where your brain says “weekend soon” but your body says “try again.” 😅

Here’s your midweek pharmacist reminder:
💧 Drink your water.
🍎 Eat something that grew in the ground.
💊 Take the supplements you almost forgot.
😴 Go to bed 30 minutes earlier tonight — your future self will thank you.

You’re doing better than you think!
Dis al halfpad deur die week!

Jy’t Maandag oorleef. Jy’t Dinsdag gemaak. Nou’s dit daardie tyd waar jou brein sê “naweek is naby,” maar jou lyf sê “probeer weer môre.” 😅

Jou vriendelike apteker herinner jou:
💧 Drink genoeg water.
🍎 Eet iets vars.
💊 Neem daardie aanvullings wat jy amper vergeet het.
😴 Gaan vanaand net ’n halfuur vroeër slaap – jou môre-self sal dankie sê.

Jy doen goed – hou so aan!

Mondays hit different when your coffee’s cold and your toast hits back.

Don’t worry — you’re not alone. We’re all just out here trying to make it to lunchtime with our sanity (and caffeine) intact.

So before the day runs away with you — take a breath, stretch, and maybe even smile. You’ve survived every Monday before this one.

And if your energy’s running low, your Essential Health pharmacist is always here with real health advice (and a friendly chat) to help get your week back on track.
Wanneer jou roosterbrood harder klap as kaffiene weet jy dis alweer Maandag.

Jy’s nie alleen nie — ons almal probeer dit net maak tot middagete (en die volgende koppie koffie).

Onthou om asem te haal, jou skouers te ontspan en dalk te glimlag. Jy’t al baie Maandae oorleef — hierdie een gaan ook verby.

En as jy regtig pap voel — jou Essential Health apteker is altyd hier vir raad, ’n geselsie en ’n bietjie gesondheidswysheid.

Stress isn’t just “in your head” — when it lingers, it affects your body, mind and medication routines too.

At Essential Health Pharmacy, we see it often: sleepless nights → skipped meds → higher BP → feeling worse.

Here’s three quick things you can do today to ease the pressure:

1. Take 5 minutes to breathe: inhale for 4, hold 2, exhale for 6. Repeat twice.

2. Check your pill-box: are you missing doses because of a busy mind or schedule?

3. Walk it out: even a short stroll outdoors can reset your mind and reduce physical tension.

💬 Want to chat about how your meds might be affected by stress? Or need help choosing the right wellness support?

Stres is nie net “in jou kop” nie – dit beïnvloed jou liggaam, jou bui, en selfs hoe jou medikasie werk.

By Essential Health Apteek sien ons dit daagliks: min slaap → vergeet om pille te neem → hoër bloeddruk → nog meer stres.

Hier is 3 eenvoudige dinge wat jy vandag kan doen om die spanning te verlig:

1. Asem rustig: In vir 4, hou vir 2, uit vir 6. Doen dit twee keer.

2. Kyk na jou medikasie: Slaan jy dosisse oor omdat jy vergeet of oorweldig voel? .

3. Beweeg: Selfs ’n kort stappie buite kan jou liggaam kalmeer en jou kop weer helder maak.

💬 Kom gesels met ons as jy onseker is oor hoe stres jou medikasie of welsyn raak.
