Simple Steps to Boost Your Immunity, Energy & Wellbeing
Crisp mornings, golden leaves, and talk of pumpkin spice lattes — autumn is here! Whether you love or dread the darker nights, it’s a great time to focus on your whole health and wellbeing. If you’re wondering how to stay healthy this autumn in Neath, here are five pharmacist-approved ways to protect yourself as we head into winter.
🍂 1. Get Your Flu Vaccination
Your first line of defence this season is a flu vaccination. If you’re aged 65 or over, pregnant, have certain health conditions, or care for vulnerable people, you may qualify for a free NHS flu jab.
We offer both NHS and private flu vaccinations right here in Neath — quick, convenient, and expertly delivered by our pharmacists.
🤧 2. Stock Up on Cold & Flu Remedies
Even with precautions, autumn bugs happen! Be ready with cold and flu remedies, throat lozenges and decongestants. Our pharmacists can recommend the best options for you and your family — and advise when it’s time to see a healthcare professional.
Sore throat? Learn how to spot symptoms and get free NHS treatment under our Common Ailment Service.
💆♀️ 3. Update Your Skincare Routine
Cold winds and central heating can leave your skin feeling dry and dull. Treat it kindly this season with Pharma Nord Q10 Revitalising Day Cream — available from our online shop.
Formulated with coenzyme Q10 and natural oils, this cream helps protect against oxidative stress while restoring moisture and radiance — perfect for the autumn and winter months.
🚭 4. Quit Smoking
Why wait until January? Autumn is the perfect time to start fresh. Our NHS Stop Smoking Service offers free confidential support, nicotine replacement options, and one-to-one guidance from our trained pharmacists in Neath.
💊 5. Review Your Supplements
As daylight fades, your body makes less vitamin D. Deficiency can affect energy, immunity and mood. We stock vitamin D supplements and other pharmacy-grade options to help keep your levels optimal through the darker months.
You might also consider Pycnogenol® and collagen supplements for healthy skin, circulation and vitality. Ask our team for personalised guidance before starting new supplements.
