Self Care
Self Care can empower you by giving you the knowledge and the tools to improve the quality of your daily life. There are many sides to Self Care; brushing your teeth, ensuring a balanced diet and taking regular exercise are fundamental to everyday health.
You can also treat minor symptoms such as a mild headache or a cold yourself, using products purchased over-the-counter at your local pharmacy or grocery store. In the case of chronic, or longer-term conditions or to maintain and increase wellness, many people choose to use self care health products as supplements or in combination with prescription medicines. Examples of these are vitamin supplements, fish oils and glucosamine products. Please note however, that you should always advise your health practitioner of all the products you are using, be they prescription or non-prescription.
