A healthy start to school with your pharmacy

Starting school is an exciting time for children and parents. New subjects, teachers and lots of new impressions await the little ones. To make everyday life relaxed and successful, it is helpful to think about health, energy and rest in advance. A balanced diet, appropriate vitamins, sufficient exercise and little everyday helpers from Your pharmacy help children to start the new school year fit and motivated. With a few simple preparations, parents can ensure that their children are well fed, focussed and happy to learn and grow.

To ensure that children start the new school year healthy and well prepared, we have compiled the most important products from the pharmacy in a clear checklist. The list is also available to download online: Download here!

Vitamins for children strengthen defences and health

A strong immune system is particularly important when starting school. In our pharmacy, parents can find vitamins suitable for children such as Supradyn® junior or Orthomol junior, that support the immune system. Vitamin D can be useful - but only after medical clarification. Gentle seawater nasal sprays for children such as Emser nasal spray protect the mucous membranes from drying out. In addition, probiotics for children such as OMNi-BiOTiC® Panda, strengthen the intestinal flora - an important factor for the immune system. This gives children a healthy and vital start to the new school year, and parents can rest assured that they are giving their child the best possible support.

Emergency kit for school with plasters and lice protection

Minor accidents are part of everyday school life. That's why an emergency kit is essential for school. This includes children's plasters (Hansaplast), a wound and healing ointment such as Bepanthen and a mild disinfectant such as Octenisept. Helps against mosquito bites Fenistil gel, which is especially suitable for children. Particularly important when starting school: reliable lice protection for children. We recommend S.Calon Protection Spray and Paranix Protect Spray - Both provide effective protection and are suitable for children. Parents can also pack a small pair of tick tweezers or tweezers so that they can react quickly in an emergency. A handy pack of tissues or wet wipes are also useful in case things get sticky or dirty. With a well-equipped kit, parents are reassured when small emergencies occur during the school day and children are well looked after.

Omega-3 and magnesium for children promote concentration

Concentration is the be-all and end-all for successful learning. Especially for children, there are omega-3 supplements such as Norsan Kids Omega-3. They support brain and nerve cells and promote alertness. Magnesium can also be useful for children, especially during sport or a lot of exercise. Dr Böhm Kids Magnesium offers a child-friendly dosage with a fruity flavour. Instead of sugary sweets, balanced snacks are a better source of energy for the school day. Nuts, dried fruit or wholemeal crackers, for example, are suitable and keep children full for longer. Sufficient water or unsweetened tea should also be in the school bag, as a good supply of fluids significantly increases concentration. With these products from the pharmacy, children stay focussed, productive and motivated - a decisive advantage in the new school year.

Rest and relaxation support children in everyday school life

In addition to energy, children also need rest and relaxation. Especially when starting school, there are many impressions to process. Gentle children's teas like the Sidroga Children's Calming Tea or Sonnentor organic children's tea with camomile and lemon balm provide relaxation. For emotional balance Bach Flower Rescue Kids Drops (alcohol-free) can be helpful. Essential oils such as lavender, orange and lemon balm also have a calming effect, promote sleep and create a pleasant atmosphere in the children's room. Regular breaks and short time-outs are just as important to make the school day more relaxed. Parents should therefore not only pay attention to concentration, but also to the mental balance of their children. This will ensure a healthy, relaxed and happy start to the school year.
