Our Naturopath's 6 Summer Essentials
As a natural health practitioner with over 20 years of experience, I try to live a balanced, healthy lifestyle, most of the time. However, when summer rolls around, I love to unwind and indulge a bit — whether that means camping with the kids at festival time or visiting friends and family.
These 6 essentials are part of my secret to staying healthy, energised, and ready for summer fun — even when life throws a curveball. Whether I’m indulging in festive treats, relaxing at the beach, or exploring the outdoors, these natural remedies keep me feeling my best.
Even though I like to keep things light when I travel, there are 6 essentials I never leave home without. They’re my go-to support system, helping me stay balanced and fully enjoy the break from routine.
For Liver Love
Let’s be honest: I love food, and summer means plenty of rich meals and celebrations. My mum’s decadent chocolate liqueur cake, orange duck, and an extra glass of bubbles are simply impossible to resist. But all that indulgence can put extra strain on my liver. That’s why I always carry my Liver Care Formula. It supports my overburdened liver, helping it process all the extra treats I’m enjoying during the holiday season.
Skin Health
Summer comes with its fair share of skin mishaps — burns, scrapes, rashes — and I’m always prepared with my Kawakawa & Manuka Balm. This powerful combo is fantastic for soothing irritated skin, and it’s also a go-to lip balm! Whether I’m out in the sun or chasing the kids around, it keeps my skin feeling nourished and protected.
Summer Hydration
When I’m off my usual routine, my diet can sometimes become a little unpredictable. That’s where Ultra Collagen comes in — it’s like an insurance policy for my nutrition and hydration. Collagen is great for supporting my skin, joints, and overall well-being, especially when I’m not getting all the usual nutrients I need from meals.
Feeling Good All Day
Long days, late nights, and a change in routine can wreak havoc on my energy levels, especially when my sleep habits are all over the place. Supabee for Energy is a lifesaver. It helps me stay balanced and energized, even when I’m running on less sleep than usual. Whether I’m exploring a new place or dancing at a festival, this is my go-to for keeping my energy steady.
Protecting My Joints
A summer filled with festivals, beach days, and long walks can really take a toll on my joints. That’s why I rely on Bee Venom & Glucosamine. It supports joint health and helps me stay active, so I can keep up with all the fun — whether that means swimming, hiking, or dancing for hours.
After-Sun Care
After a day in the sun, my whole family reaches for our Skin Repair Cream. It’s perfect for calming, nourishing, and hydrating our skin after sun exposure. We use it as a soothing balm for sunburns and any other skin irritations that come with spending time outdoors.
Final Thoughts
Even though I like to keep things light when I travel, I never leave home without these 6 essentials. They’re my go-to support system, helping me stay balanced and fully enjoy the break from routine.
