Dear all,

If you live in Glen Iris or East Malvern, you might be aware that Sami’s Fish and Chips on Burke Road experienced a fire last night. We hope everyone is safe and unharmed. Our thoughts are with the Sami's team.

We want to inform you that we are open and operating as usual today.

Warm regards,
Jenny Heathershaw

It’s Autumn here in Melbourne. Changing seasons for many are synonymous with the onset of coughs, colds and sniffles.

This is a time when our focus turns towards supporting our immune systems, often through diet and supplementation, to prepare for the upcoming winter months.

Taking proactive steps now can help ensure we're better protected against seasonal illnesses as temperatures drop.

Rochelle, our resident Naturopath offers personalised guidance on holistic approaches to support your immune system. By addressing underlying health imbalances and promoting overall wellness, she can help you build resilience against seasonal challenges and stay healthy throughout the colder months. Consult with a naturopath to develop a customised immunity plan tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

Rochelle can recommend suitable supplements from brands (such as Metagenics, Designs of Health and more) that are available after consultations only. These products are among the highest quality on the market, featuring nutrients that are well-absorbed and highly tolerated by the body.

How do different hay fever treatments work and which one should you pick?

Melbourne’s apocalyptic spring is back. Nearly one in five Australians will be subjected to the misery of hay fever.

Characterised by watery, itchy red eyes, a runny or congested nose, and incessant sneezing, hay fever, or allergic rhinitis, occurs when allergens enter the nose or eyes.

Common seasonal allergens include tree, grass, and w**d pollens, while year-round allergens comprise dust mites, mold, and pet dander. In many parts of Australia, pollen season is in full swing!

There are plenty of treatment options to prevent or alleviate hay fever symptoms:

👉 Antihistamines
👉 Steroid nasal sprays
👉 Sodium cromoglycate
👉 Decongestants
👉 Saline
👉 Supplements like quercetin

How do they work? Which one should you pick? Let’s break it down: https://heathershawscompounding.com.au/how-do-different-hay-fever-treatments-work-and-which-one-should-you-pick/

We have discussed the importance of good sleep hygiene multiple times on our blog.

Good - it's not just about feeling awake during the day - it's like a secret sauce for a healthy mind and body. It helps our brains stay sharp, helps manage our hormones, keeps our immune system on its toes, and basically, helps everything tick just right.

But what's the deal with afternoon , you might wonder? Sure, they're refreshing, but do they throw our regular sleep for a loop, or are they like a power-up for our health? Let's dive into that.

Happy birthday once again!

It's the time of the year when (almost) every Melbourne resident will browse their phone with swollen eyes, scratchy throats, and runny noses. Not to look up footy final info or check on the day's weather (nay, season). They'll do it to search for Melbourne's pollen count.

Melbourne’s apocalyptic is coming back. Ryegrass pollens are usually to blame for this onset of hayfever symptoms. These pollens get trapped in the tiny hairs inside your nose, often triggering an allergic reaction. Your immune system thinks it’s under attack. Nasal cavities become inflamed, causing your body to create more mucus in an attempt to flush out the irritating particles.

Heathershaw's 💊 has been formulated with quercetin. It's a plant flavonol found in many fruits, vegetables, leaves, seeds, and grains such as capers, red onions, and kale. It's said to have anti-allergic functions that are known for inhibiting histamine production. Quercetin also functions as an anti-inflammatory. What this means is that it can help manage the severity of itchy throats, watery eyes and runny noses.

It is also custom-made for YOU in our state-of-the-art in-house lab. If you'd like to know more, have a chat with our pharmacists - Jenny, Gavin, Michelle, Maria, Amy or Jill

Have you ever wondered how we choose the perfect topical delivery system for our patients?

You see, a compounding base isn't just a base – it's like a vehicle that carries the active ingredient straight to where it's needed.

When it comes to topical delivery, we've got options – creams, transdermal creams, gels, and ointments. But how do we pick the right one?

✅ We think about how deep the drug needs to go. Is it just skin deep, or does it need to pe*****te further?

✅ We consider the potency – how strong the active ingredients are.

✅ What is the target site of application? Is it the skin or a mucous membrane, like inside the mouth?

✅ Texture matters too. Should it be non-sticky, moisturizing, thick, greasy, quick-drying, water-based, or silicone-based?

All these factors help us select the perfect base. It's a crucial step, and our compounding pharmacists are experts at it.

Have questions? Just ask us! We're here to help you understand how we tailor each formulation to your needs.

At Heathershaw’s, we're not just compounding – we're crafting personalised solutions for you. Reach out today!
