The sudden changes to our world and daily life’s due to COVID-19 creates a high degree of stress mentally, emotionally and physically. Uncertainty and worry about the future is now part of most people’s thoughts.

Utmost is keeping your immune system strong. High levels of stress, anxiety and worry can have impacts on your immunity. Taking positive steps to manage your stress & anxiety can have a flow on effect to other areas. Positive stress management improves your general wellbeing, health and immunity.

If you feel you are not coping please reach out to the many support services on offer here in Australia, talk to your doctor &/or psychologist (Australia now has online medical services for both).

Natural therapies can also be part of that help. Below is my article on how naturopathic medicine can help manage stress.

My clinic has now moved fully online and offers Skype, FaceTime & Zoom consultations.

If you have a quick question about anything naturopathic please feel free to email or message me. I’ll gladly help in whatever way I can.
