If your nails have a yellow hue, it could be as simple as the nail polish from your last manicure or pedicure staining the nail plate. But occasionally, yellowed nails can also signal an infection or a more serious underlying problem like thyroid condition or diabetes.

Three ways to treat yellowed nails at home:
1/ If your nails are discoloured due to a minor yeast infection, treating them with tea tree oil may help. Mix a few drops with a carrier oil, like coconut oil, and swab onto the affected nails.
2/ Soaking your toes in warm water with a scoop of baking soda can help prevent nail fungus from spreading and remove yellowing, too.
3/ Soaking your fingertips in a mixture of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and warm water can clear up stains caused by dark nail polish.

The theme of this year’s Mental Health Week is “my story.” Collectively, and individually we are all made up of layers and stories that make us who we are. They are all different, but equally important, and can share one key message: mental health is important for everyone’s wellbeing.

If you roll your ankle during a jog or go too hard on a trail hike and have pain in your ankle, it may be possible that you have an ankle sprain or muscle strain.

Pain, inflammation, bruising and swelling are common signs of most sprains and strains. If you are experiencing these common signs, speak to our pharmacist for advice on how you can manage them and if you should see your doctor.
