June Womens' Wellness Month. From Puberty To Menopause and Beyond

Bev Dunne

Last year, post bushfires and before COVID, we were all excited at Go Vita!! We had planned an amazing calendar of interesting events for 2020. Then of course, COVID arrived and everything changed.

Now, a year on we’ve decided to follow through on some of these events. And what better way to launch our Events Calendar, than with a June Women’s’ Wellness Month.  The girls and I are all thrilled, as we believe we have created a comprehensive series of activities dedicated to good health and wellbeing for women and girls of all ages.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Tuesday 8 June 2021 - Herbs for Health - Free 15-minute mini-consultations with Naturopath Katie Urbanik. Learn more about the special properties of herbs. Katie is offering to prepare personalised herbal preparations tailored to your needs. Bookings are available from 9.30am to 4.30pm

HERBS FOR HEALTH

Herbal medicine has existed almost as long as humanity itself; every culture in the world having a history of herb usage. Traditionally, herbalists have diagnosed, prescribed and formulated medicines for their individual patients.

This individual approach has a real advantage in treating the various maladies that can affect so many of us. For example, if two people have a common ailment the herbalist will not necessarily prescribe the same combination of herbs for each of them, as no two people are exactly alike. After a whole-person assessment the herbalist can prepare a tailor-made, herbal combination suited to that particular person’s needs.

Here at Go Vita we have an abundant supply of various herbs prepared in a liquid form. This makes it easy to mix an individualised remedy. We have an experienced herbalist and naturopath; Katie Urbanik working in our clinic. She’s happy to help you with any health concerns.

Herbs can be used to treat digestive issues. Herbs can be used to help balance hormones.  They can improve immune function and fight viruses. There are herbs that can alleviate arthritis and herbs that treat skin conditions. There are herbs that have a beneficial influence on the liver and some excellent kidney supporters.

It’s important that certain herbal combinations are professionally prescribed, as many are powerful agents in making changes to the organism.

We’re offering our community the opportunity to have a chat with Katie. She can mix up some herbs for you if indicated or give naturopathic advice.

For some time now there has been varying reports about the toxicity of some cosmetics. There have been claims some cosmetics contain chemicals that have not been assessed for safety. Some even claim certain cosmetics contain probable carcinogens or reproductive toxins.

So, is wearing make-up a health hazard and should we believe that some of the ingredients contained in cosmetics may be linked to cancer and reproductive problems? Well, my answer is wherever possible we should always err on the side of caution. If we have alternatives why not choose the safer alternatives?

Luckily, these days there are quite a few genuine natural cosmetic ranges on the market. We have stocked several cosmetic ranges over the years. A few years ago, after much research we introduced another cosmetic range which has proved extremely popular with our customers. INIKA Organic is an Australian- owned certified organic beauty brand. It is a high-quality brand with 100% natural products, certified vegan and cruelty free.

Because these cosmetics are so gentle, INIKA feels quite light on your skin. With their progressive and innovative botanical formulations, it is designed to hydrate and support healthy skin. Some of these botanicals include organic aloe vera, organic calendula, organic tamanu, organic Kakadu plum as well as organic shea butter, organic macadamia nut oil, organic evening primrose oil, organic rosehip oil, organic green tea extract.

These cosmetics because of their natural ingredients are suitable for everyone, even those with sensitive or hyper-allergenic skin. We carry a large range including face primers, foundation, mineral powder, concealer, blush, highlighter and bronzer. Eyeliner, eyeshadow, eyebrow pencil and mascara.
