Personal Care

This shelf contains some interesting products to assist in many different types of ‘personal’ healthcare issues such as ear wax problems, oral hygiene, plaque and bad breath, body odour, and warts, to name but a few. Halitosis (bad breath) affects a high proportion of people at some stage in their life, and many people suffer from this problem recurrently. It is usually as a result of a build up of bacterial plaque in and around the mouth – including the tongue, however sometimes there is an underlying health cause e.g. Nose surgery. Thankfully there are a number of solutions available to help with this concern (other than twice daily cleaning of the teeth which won’t really help to solve the problem) and a tongue cleaner or scraper can remove any bacterial build up on the tongue. If your bad breath is as a result of something you have eaten, such as garlic, onion for example then Healthaid’s fresh breath capsules can help to eliminate the cause, rather than mask the result. Plaqueoff is also a useful product to reduce the levels of plaque and tartar in the mouth and the Gengigel range helps restore and maintain healthy gums.

Ear wax build up can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing and many people resort to the ‘crime’ of inserting a cotton bud into their ear canal. Alternatives include the bestselling Audiclean and ear candles. Audiclean uses seawater as a basis to cleanse the ears whereas Otosan or Hopi ear candles rely on the ‘chimney effect’ which is a gentle suction action to help eliminate ear wax build up. They also have numerous other health benefits and can be used as a relaxation aid.

For removal of warts without the need to go to your doctor, try Wartner. For natural body odour prevention try the Pitrok or Crystal Fresh range of deodorants – all based on natural crystal to prevent bacteria buildup. Lastly for dry eyes try Clarymist which puts an end to eye drops as this product is actually sprayed on the eyelid and is even suitable for contact lens wearers. On this shelf we have a range of personal care products, including Tongue scrapers, toothpaste, mouthwash and Body thermometers.
