​We all know that calcium makes strong bones.  Most of us know that Vitamin D is also important for strong bones.  But how much do you need?  And where is the best source?

Here at the Friendlies Chemist we are fortunate to have our very own Naturopath, Sarah!
​
Sarah has a Bachelor of Naturopathy and a Bachelor of Clinical Science; she has been a practicing Naturopath for 6 years and with The Friendlies Chemist for over 2 years. Sarah’s qualifications ensure that she provides the most effective and specific Natural treatment to her patients. Sarah offers private consults which will include lifestyle advice, dietary suggestions and clinically effective natural medicine supplementation. 

​The Autumn / Winter Collection has arrived with the latest enhancements to the brand, involving 3 new wellness categories to communicate which footwear styles align with common foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bunions and so on: PR - Pressure relief - provides relief from fatigue and symptoms of plantar fasciitis, heel spurs and bunions, AS - Alignment & stability -maximises balance and stability, improved posture, comfortable movement and foot realignment to help reduce the risk of falls and SP - Support and protection – provides support, protection and relief from ongoing health conditions such as diabetes, peripheral neuropathy and osteoarthritis.

​Often a shoe size will depend not only on the size of a foot but also on the style and width of a shoe.
If you have a wider foot, you will often need to go to a larger size in a style to compensate the width, However, Homyped have designed their shoe range to accommodate feet of varying shapes and sizes.
With the additional benefits of a bunion relief panel found on selected styles, this reduces pressure and provides cushioning and support. 

​Naturopaths treat the patient holistically, therefore treating the person as a whole rather than just their symptoms. Naturopaths can treat a wide variety of issues and quite often approach them differently to how an orthodox doctor would. Using natural remedies, a Naturopath can treat gut issues, decreased immune function, mental health, fatigue, pain, insomnia and wellbeing. 

​Here at Friendlies Chemist we have a fully qualified Naturopath in store, Sarah; she is here five days a week. Sarah has two university degrees, which means she can offer you professional, highly relevant, scientific based advice. A Naturopath treats the body as a whole and offers a holistic approach to health. Naturopaths use a range of medicinal options such as, herbal, nutritional, lifestyle, diet advice and homeopathy. 

Work, lifestyle and even weight can contribute to sore & tired feet.
