23.01.2022 Autumn allergies - tip #1 Reduce your exposure to pollen Monitor your local pollen count. You can do this online at weatherzone.com.au. If you have a smartphone, you should be able to easily find apps that monitor and notify you of the current pollen count based on your location. Stay indoors as much as possible especially during peak hours (usually mid-morning to early afternoon), or if you have to go outside, wear a mask to filter out pollen.... Indoors, keep windows closed to stop outdoor pollen from coming in, and remove your shoes and jacket before entering your home so that you don’t track in any pollen that you’ve picked up outside. And of course, vacuum carpets and upholstery regularly, and wash your clothes, linen, and curtains regularly. Bathe your pets, especially outdoor dogs and cats, frequently. The other thing that can make a real difference is how you dry wet laundry. Try using the dryer (or even better a cloths horse) and avoid hanging them outside where allergens can stick to them! So easy but so often missed! #pharmacylife #lifepharmacy #pharmacy #pharmacist #heretohelp #livelifewell #allergies #autumn

21.01.2022 Autumn allergies tip! Reduce dust mites Dust mites feed primarily on flakes of human skin that are shed naturally around the home. It’s next to impossible to completely rid your home of dust mites, but you can take steps to keep them at a manageable level.... Clean air vents throughout the house before turning the central heating unit on for the first time after summer. Cover your mattress and pillows in dust-proof covers (dust mites love the bedroom) and regularly wash all bedding in hot water. Use a dehumidifier to keep the air below 50% humidity. Dust and vacuum your home regularly, and be sure to wear a filtering mask while cleaning. All of this will reduce your exposure to and risk of having allergies due to dust mites so make it a job this weekend! #dustmites #dustmite #allergy #allergies #allergic #allergicrhinitis #pharmacy #pharmacist #livelifewell #heretohelp #autumn

15.01.2022 Autumn allergy tip #5 Seek the right treatment! Ask your Pharmacist, GP or an allergy specialist to recommend you the best medication for your allergy. Most allergy medication are available over-the-counter however some may need a prescription.... For a quick remedy, topical nasal sprays that are available over-the-counter work well for fast relief. They reduce the inflammation in the lining of your nose, and can usually be used daily, before and during allergy season. Oral antihistamines are another recommended option, and they work by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical released during an allergic reaction. For itchy eyes, some simple anti-allergy eye drops can help. Preparing yourself against allergies doesn’t mean staying indoors 24/7 in fear of pollen and other allergens. Taking the precautions mentioned above can help make your allergies more manageable throughout the year. So now you’re across your autumn allergy management get out there and enjoy the wonderful time of year it is!

13.01.2022 Avoiding autumn allergies #2 Get rid of mould and mildew! Mould and mildew grow from and produce spores that are spread by the wind or indoor air, and they grow year-round. They thrive indoors and outdoors, and in autumn, they can grow easily on damp fallen leaves and compost piles. Indoors, they drive in damp indoor areas like basements, bathrooms and kitchens.... Unlike pollen, mould and mildew aren’t killed by the cold; instead, they go into a dormant phase during the winter months. That’s why it’s so important to prevent them from getting into your home before winter starts. To stop mould and mildew, it’s important to keep moisture levels indoors at the optimum level (~ 50% RH or Relative Humidity Level). Some tips on protecting your home from mould: * Ensure there is proper ventilation inside your home, especially in bathrooms, showers, the kitchen, laundry rooms, and bedrooms. * Clean kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms thoroughly to help reduce mould. Fridge seals and window frames can harbour mould. * Don’t dry clothes indoors as this will increase humidity levels indoors. If you have to, use a dehumidifier to help reduce humidity level and dry clothes indoors faster. * Consider having fewer houseplants, and change the soil to avoid mould growth. * Avoid humidifiers if possible, but if they are needed, keep humidity to a lower level and follow instructions on emptying and cleaning. * Outdoors, rake your yard of fallen leaves and remove leaves from gutters. * Don’t leave piles of leaves in your garden * Keep compost and waste piles away from your hose * Empty your bins regularly See more

12.01.2022 It's back to school time, and that means the risk of your children getting nits or head lice has increased. What's the difference between the two? Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live in human hair and feed on blood circulating the scalp. Nits on the other hand, are the eggs laid by adult head lice and only take a week to hatch! So how can you prevent nits? There technically isn't a way to prevent them, however constant monitoring using a fine-tooth comb is the be...st way to stay on top of your child’s nits. You can also tie up long hair and use light layers of hairspray which makes the hair sticky and uninhabitable. If you do happen to find eggs or head lice during a regular check, don't panic! Speak to one of our pharmacists today for the most effective treatments for your child. #LiveLifeWell #communitypharmacy

06.01.2022 This week is Sweetheart week and we’re raising awareness and funds for @heartkids Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital disorder in newborns. The birth rate prevalence of congenital heart disease is understood to be approximately 8 10 cases per 1,000 live births. In Australia, there are approximately 300,000 registered births per year resulting in 2,400 3,000 babies born each year with a form of congenital heart disease. Cumulatively, taking into c...onsideration newborns through to adults living with congenital heart disease, this number could conceivably represent well over 66,000 Australians. Although there is no indication that the incidence of congenital heart disease is increasing, as Australian birth rates increase and enhanced medical care and technology continue to improve survival rates following medical interventions, the prevalence is predicted to increase. There are an increasing number of adults with congenital heart disease who are not well served by the existing health care system. Gaining a better understanding of the entire spectrum of congenital heart disease, the number of people living with congenital heart disease, and the total burden of disease across the disease continuum is imperative to patients and those responsible for treating them, including health policy makers, ultimately delivering not just better, but sustainable care. HeartKids provides support and information for children, teens, and adults with congenital heart disease as well as those that have acquired a heart condition during childhood. We also advocate for their needs and fund life- saving research. #pharmacy #pharmacylife #lifepharmacy #heretohelp #livelifewell #heart #kids #kidshearts #sweetheart #chdawareness

06.01.2022 Getting back into a work routine after a break or holiday can be difficult and tiresome, which may lead to post-holiday blues. These are the few "glum" days after returning to work, and while it may not be a serious condition such as depression, it may certainly feel like it. These feelings usually pass after a few days once you get back into a balanced routine. Here are some tips from Beyond Blue to help you through the post-holiday blues: - Don't force yourself to forget a...bout the good times. - Talk about how you are feeling, others may feel the same way you do. - Plan something to look forward to in the future. - Use the good memories to inspire you to keep looking forward. Remember, if you continue to feel flat well after a break or holiday, it may be a good idea to seek assistance or advice - our pharmacists are trained in mental wellbeing and support and can assist you. Feel free to come in and chat to one of our staff today. If you or anyone you know is struggling, call Lifeline on 13 11 14. In an emergency always call triple zero (000).

04.01.2022 When we think of seasonal allergies, most of us immediately think of the pollen explosion in the spring time. But allergy symptoms such as an itchy throat, read eyes, sniffles and sneezing can happen in autumn as well. When the leaves start falling off trees and the air starts to cool, they spread pollen and trigger allergies that can really cause a damper on your day.... More than that, extra humidity in autumn can increase the growth of mould spores outdoors and indoors, bringing about a host of other issues that can create health problems. We share some tips below and in subsequent posts on how to reduce the risk of developing allergies this autumn; 1. Reduce your exposure to pollen 2. Get rid of mould and mildew 3. Reduce dust mites 4. Avoid pet dander and fur 5. Seek the right treatment So this autumn allergy season be prepared as it can certainly make the winter period easier on your body and mind #lifepharmacy #pharmacylife #heretohelp #livelifewell #pharmacy #pharmacist #autumn #autumnhealth #askyourpharmacist #westonact #westoncreek #canberra
