Back To School

The long summer holidays have come to an end so it’s time for another school year. New teachers, friends, and maybe even a new school mean your children and/or teenagers are probably feeling excited, nervous and even a little scared at the thought of their first day back.

The dread of school

Going  back to school can be just as emotional for the child as it is the parent, especially if your child is starting school for the first time or moving to a different school. Bach™ Original Flower Remedies could help deal with the preparation of starting school and those difficult first day emotions.

For kids

• Walnut* - To help your child adjust to the change of environment and to stop them being influenced by the behaviour of new friends

• Mimulus* – If your child is worried about starting a new school or is shy and timid in nature.

• Larch* – They may need an extra hand to make new friends, if your child is lacking in confidence.

And for mums and dads

• Red Chestnut* – if you tend to feel uptight when your child is at school, Red Chestnut can help you to relax and lift the worrying feelings.

Excuses, excuses

There’s nothing worse for a teenager than a blemish! Feeling embarrassed about how they look on the first day back, or even worse, deciding they don’t want to go to school with a large blemish on their face, will make the first day back to school even harder. Leave Nelsons Pure & Clear anti-blemish skin care range in the bathroom for them to use as the selected combination of natural plant extracts can help break the blemish cycle. If they do wake up with a blemish then try Nelsons Pure & Clear Blemish Gel to target the problem area.

Opps!

One in four parents visits A&E for minor ailments which could potentially be treated at home[i]. With sports day, after school activities and playground fun, mums and dads should brace themselves for tumbles and tears.

Arnicare™ Arnica Kids Stick is ideal for kids, gliding on in a fun natural green colour, transforming tears into smiles. Arnicare™ Arnica Stick has been developed with the natural alpine flower Arnica Montana.  

Playground cuts and grazes are very common so be prepared with the right products in your first aid kit to help and encourage them to heal faster. Nelsons Hypercal™ cream is a topical herbal remedy traditionally used for the symptomatic treatment of cuts and grazes. It is suitable to apply on all types of cuts and grazes.

* Always read the label
