Warmer weather, braais and picnics… but what about those pesky stomach bugs? 🌤️
As we spend more time outdoors and enjoy meals in the sunshine, it’s worth giving food safety a little extra attention. Food left out in the heat for too long can allow harmful bacteria to multiply, increasing the risk of food poisoning.
A few simple habits can help keep your tummy happy:
🍽️ Keep perishable food chilled until you're ready to eat.
🧼 Wash your hands before preparing food and eating.
💧 Drink plenty of fluids, especially if you're feeling unwell.
If diarrhoea or vomiting strikes, an oral rehydration solution can help replace lost fluids and salts. If symptoms are severe or persistent, you notice blood in your stool, or you develop signs of dehydration, seek medical advice. Babies, young children and older adults may need help sooner.
Not sure what you need? Pop in and chat to your local Essential Health pharmacist. We're always happy to help! ❤️

Warmer weer, braaivleis en pieknieks… maar wat van daardie lastige maagvirusse? 🌤️
Namate ons meer tyd in die buitelug deurbring en etes in die son geniet, is dit goed om ’n bietjie ekstra aandag aan voedselveiligheid te gee. Kos wat te lank in die hitte staan, kan veroorsaak dat skadelike bakterieë vermeerder en die risiko van voedselvergiftiging verhoog.
’n Paar eenvoudige gewoontes kan help om jou maag gelukkig te hou:
🍽️ Hou bederfbare kos verkoel totdat jy gereed is om te eet.
🧼 Was jou hande voordat jy kos voorberei en eet.
💧 Drink genoeg vloeistowwe, veral as jy ongesteld voel.
As diarree of braking jou tref, kan ’n orale rehidrasie-oplossing help om verlore vloeistowwe en soute aan te vul. Indien simptome ernstig of aanhoudend is, jy bloed in jou stoelgang opmerk, of jy tekens van dehidrasie toon, kry mediese advies. Babas, jong kinders en ouer volwassenes het moontlik vroeër hulp nodig.
Onseker oor wat jy nodig het? Kom maak gerus ’n draai by jou plaaslike Essential Health-apteker. Ons help jou graag! ❤️

A little look at what we’ve been working towards! 🏗️✨
Our Brackenfell building has come a long way, and as we get closer to the finish line, we wanted to share a glimpse of the vision behind the renovations.
It’s been a long journey, and we’d like to thank our customers for your support along the way. We’re excited to see it all come together and look forward to sharing the next chapter with you!
________________
’n Kykie na dit waarna ons al die tyd gewerk het! 🏗️✨
Ons Brackenfell-gebou het al ’n lang pad gekom, en namate ons die eindstreep nader, wil ons graag ’n voorsmakie deel van die visie agter die opknappings.
Dit was ’n lang pad, en ons wil graag dankie sê aan ons kliënte vir julle ondersteuning deur die hele proses. Ons is opgewonde om te sien hoe alles bymekaarkom en sien daarna uit om die volgende hoofstuk met julle te deel!

Think flu season is over because summer is here? Not necessarily. ☀️
For some people, it may still be worth having a conversation about flu vaccination — particularly if you're 65+, pregnant, living with a chronic condition or have a weakened immune system.
And there's another reason you might want to think about it:
✈️ Heading north for a winter Christmas?
While we're enjoying summer in the Western Cape, you're travelling into the Northern Hemisphere's winter — and its flu season.
So before you pack the sunscreen, check whether a flu vaccine should be on your travel checklist too.
Speak to your friendly Essential Health pharmacy team to find out whether vaccination is appropriate for you.

____________
Dink jy die griepseisoen is verby omdat dit somer is? Nie noodwendig nie. ☀️
Vir sommige mense kan dit steeds die moeite werd wees om oor 'n griep-inenting te gesels — veral as jy 65+, swanger is, met 'n chroniese toestand leef of 'n verswakte immuunstelsel het.
En daar is nog 'n rede waarom jy dalk daaroor wil dink:
✈️ Reis jy noordwaarts vir 'n winter-Kersfees?
Terwyl ons die somer in die Wes-Kaap geniet, reis jy na die Noordelike Halfrond se winter — en sy griepseisoen.
So voordat jy die sonskerm inpak, kyk of 'n griep-inenting dalk ook op jou reislys behoort te wees.
Praat met jou vriendelike Essential Health-aptekerspan om uit te vind of inenting vir jou geskik is.

MEET DESSI 💚
Our Responsible Pharmacist at Claremont, Dessi thrives in the fast-paced world of retail pharmacy — where no two days are quite the same.
What she loves most about pharmacy is the people. From helping patients understand their medication and answering questions, to recommending the right remedy, Dessi enjoys being someone patients can feel comfortable turning to.
She believes some of the most rewarding moments are often the simplest ones: making someone feel heard, cared for and a little more confident about their health.
Detail-oriented, organised, calm under pressure and always ready to learn, Dessi brings both professionalism and genuine compassion to the dispensary.
And one thing that keeps her going? ☕ A healthy dose of caffeine! 😆
We’re so happy to have Dessi as part of the Essential Health family. 💚

ONTMOET DESSI 💚
Ons Verantwoordelike Apteker by Claremont, Dessi, geniet die besigheid van apteekswese — waar geen twee dae heeltemal dieselfde is nie.
Maar wat sy die meeste van aptekerswese geniet, is die mense. Of dit nou is om pasiënte te help om hul medikasie beter te verstaan, vrae te beantwoord of die regte produk aan te beveel, Dessi geniet dit om iemand te wees na wie pasiënte gemaklik kan uitreik.
Sy glo dat van die mees bevredigende oomblikke dikwels die eenvoudigste is: om iemand te laat voel dat daar na hulle geluister word, dat hulle versorg word en ’n bietjie meer seker voel oor hul gesondheid.
Met haar oog vir detail, goeie organisasie, kalmte onder druk en bereidwilligheid om aan te hou leer, bring Dessi professionaliteit én opregte omgee na die apteek.
En wat hou haar aan die gang? ☕ ’n Goeie dosis kafeïen! 😆
Ons is baie bly om Dessi as deel van die Essential Health-familie te hê. 💚
