Back to School

And just like that, we are pulling out school-bags and turning our attention to the next school term. August can be a time of both excitement and trepidation. Many are said to have used a similar train-of-thought over the years, from Benjamin Franklin “By failing to plan, you are preparing to fail” to Winston Churchill “He who fails to plan is planning to fail”. Nevertheless, preparation is a good first-step, so we recommend having some high quality supplements to pave the way. Our omega supplements are on hand to help enhance cognitive function. Norsan’s Total Fish Oil and Arktis Oil both are available as capsules as well as liquid. Norsan fish oils are sourced from a wild and sustainable Arctic fishery and are clear of pollutants, PCBs and heavy metals. All brains benefit from a sufficient intake of marine omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA). Norsan are successfully ‘tried and tested’ and is as natural and non-processed as possible.

Whole Health Cognitive Complex helps nourish cognition from an amino acid and vitamin/mineral perspective. Kids enjoy the gentle fruity flavour and the powder can be
easily blended into juices or smoothies. Again, clinical patterns show this food supplement improves concentration, memory and can help lift low moods if people are feeling overwhelmed or apprehensive.

As well as looking at how we can support the physical body during ‘back to school’ time, for more timid or nervous children, you could look at flower essences to help boost confidence, enthusiasm or creativity.
Flower essences can provide clarity, courage and strength for little ones, as well as big ones who may also feel anxious about the pending drop-offs. Adol, Confid and Creative Essences are valuable essences to have at this time of year, especially if you need support for teenagers if they are struggling to cope with change, for kids who feel shy or lack confidence, or for those who find it hard to express themselves or speak their truth. Australian Bush Flower Essences have recently upgraded their website so people can see what essences work for particular symptoms, if you were looking for more specific remedy directions.
