Summer newsletter

Now summer’s in full swing we are enjoying the long nights and days out. It ain’t half hot though! There are some things we can do to be more comfortable in the heat. Incorporating essential oils into your moisturising routine (mix with a base oil) could help cool your body down – peppermint is excellent for this. Or enjoying a relaxing cool bath with Epsom salts. If you can brave a cold shower … try it! Whilst challenging at first, it offers a variety of physical and mental health benefits – it could help to strengthen your immune system, enhances your mood and mental alertness, increases your metabolism, is beneficial to your skin and hair and can build mental toughness and self-discipline. Note: People with certain health conditions, such as cardiovascular issues or respiratory problems, should consult with a healthcare professional before regularly taking cold showers.  We hope you will be able to take a break from everyday life over the summer, but do remember to book in your appointments for before and after your holidays to work out all those pre-holiday work stresses and post-holiday travels kinks!  * *We say ‘Bye’ to Eli, one of our receptionists who has recently qualified to be an art therapist and is pursuing her career within the NHS.
