SEPTEMBER HEALTH TALK

“School Days, School Days, Good Old Golden Rule Days”

Hello All,

I hope your summer vacation was filled with lots of thrills and not too many spills!

This month I am focusing on the two most important aspects of the school year; the students and their teachers!

School is the place where our students will socialize; learn; play; communicate and make contact with their peers. Key word CONTACT! Unfortunately along with social interaction comes germs; hand to hand; and airborne. After a long summer break our students immune systems may be a little weak ; leaving them susceptible to colds . flues  and other “heebie- jeebies”!

Fortify your children’s defenses with immune builders like Elderberry, Echinacea, and Umcka, all available at Complete Health Store; in appropriate doses for any age! Stop by and let our knowledgeable staff “teach” you! It goes without saying to always emphasize to your children the importance of washing their hands throughout the day and as soon as they get home from school.

Even with all these preventative steps your kids may get sick. Natural remedies for colds and flues include “Umcka Cold Care for kids”; Oscillococcinum for children 2 and older”; and “Immune Support” by Herb’s for Kids.

Complete Health Store stocks a wide variety of remedies geared to children of all ages! Stop by; be prepared!

Okay will the Teachers please step forward! All of the above advise goes double for you as you deal with these little germ carriers daily! We stock adult versions of all of the immune builders mentioned for kids. Personally I start taking  a yummy teaspoon of Elderberry Syrup daily starting October 1^st  all the way through March; and believe me I get sneezed; and coughed on regularly by my customers!  We also hand out hugs regularly at Complete Health Store! We are experts at keeping our Immune Systems in top notch shape!

Speaking of Hugs; we have given a lot them out to teachers over the years. Teaching is a wonderful profession and our teachers deserve only the best for all the hours and dedication they give to their students. Teaching can be very stressful however; and we have learned what has worked best for our teachers over the years. Here are some suggestions .Esteem Products “Mellow Out” combines several calming herbs including Passion Flower and Valerian to take the edge off a stressful schedule. In the homeopathic line we offer” ANX “by Liddell Labs : an effective fast acting under the tongue formula for those times anxiety may become a problem. Come in and let us introduce you to tried and true remedies. We are here for you!

Finally; I am pleased to announce the Grand Opening of “D’lightful Bites”; our lunch counter featuring our award winning Soup; Salads: and Sandwiches; the same ones we have served since 1965! It will be wonderful to welcome back our school district friends and all of our customers in this fine city.

Take Good Care
