 You may have sleep apnoea. Individuals who have sleep apnoea often unknowingly experience partial or complete blockage of the throat, due to the muscles relaxing too much and collapsing on itself. This obstruction reduces or stops breathing for a short period of time on multiple occasions throughout the night. It leads to a reduction in blood oxygen levels and lowers the quality of sleep.
 General Practitioner (GP) referrals for our sleep testing service are welcome at The Friendlies Chemist.
 Do you always feel fatigued, run down and wake up tired? Then here are my top tips to Boost your Energy Levels.
One of the most common problems I see in clients, friends and family is exhaustion. Everyone is always tired and fatigued. Feeling this way can lead to further health concerns, which is why it is important to address fatigue and support our bodies restoration.  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.  Do you feel tired during the day? Are you often irritable or forgetful? Do you snore? Wake up unrefreshed? Perhaps wake up with a dry mouth or throat and/or a headache? Do you or your partner notice that you stop breathing during the night or wake up gasping?
If this sounds like you, you may have sleep apnoea. But what is sleep apnoea?  The Epworth Sleepiness Questionnaire is one of the tools used to diagnose sleep apnoea. A score of 10 or more puts you at a higher risk of sleep apnoea. Find the questionnaire below
 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.
