World Mental Health Day: Prioritising Self-Care with Irish Wellness Products

World Mental Health Day: Prioritising Self-Care with Irish Wellness Products

Today, October 10th, we celebrate World Mental Health Day, and what better opportunity to reflect on the importance of looking after ourselves, both mentally and physically. In this blog, we will explore some of the small steps we can take every day to support our minds, bodies, and overall sense of well-being. 

At Nuera, we believe that self-care should be personal, intentional, and achievable. It is important to stress that no product or products can replace the help of professional support, should you feel you need it; however, for many of us, by making small lifestyle changes and adopting new habits, we can make a positive impact on our mental health. At Nuera, you will find quality Irish wellness products that can help you do just that. 

1. Support Your Mind from the Inside Out

Nutrition, consuming a healthy, balanced diet can have a real impact on your mood and function. Supplementing your diet with vitamins such as B-complex, vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s can help support mental well-being. 

Nuera pick: Sona is a high-quality, Irish-made supplement brand commonly recommended by healthcare professionals. Our Sona range includes Vitamins B & D, Omergan (omega-3, 6, and 9), and magnesium — all carefully formulated to support mood, energy, and overall mental resilience.

Tip: Pair supplements with balanced meals, hydration, and regular movement to give your body and mind the best chance to thrive.

2. Create a Calm, Restful Space

This is an obvious one; your environment has a massive effect on your mental state. We only need to think of the difference in stress we experience while we are relaxing at home compared to when we are stuck in rush hour traffic. Creating a calm, restful space can help us reduce stress and improve focus.

Nuera pick: The Handmade Soap Company Soy Candle brings warmth, gentle fragrance, and relaxation to your home or workspace. Aromatherapy can soothe the mind and set aside a quiet moment just for you.

3. Indulge in Relaxing Rituals

Having some “downtime”, even if it's just 10-15  minutes each day, can reset your mood and help recharge the batteries. 

Nuera picks:

• Ultrapure Lavender Bath Salts — unwind in a soothing bath and let natural lavender fragrance calm the body and mind.
• Relax & Reset Gift Bundle — a combination of handpicked wellness treats designed to help you pause, breathe, and prioritise self-care, or as a thoughtful gift.
  
  

Tip: This is a great time to listen to some of your favorite music, journaling, or a short meditation, whatever works for you. 

4. Make Self-Care Consistent

Making small but regular changes is more effective than occasional treats. Whether that's adding a supplement to your daily routine, lighting a candle while reading, or enjoying a lavender bath in the evening, incorporating these small changes can have lasting benefits to your mental well-being.

Final Thoughts

This World Mental Health Day is a reminder to check in with yourself, to ensure you take some time to look after your mental health, as the signs are often not visible even when it is clear to you that something isn’t quite right. Combining some of the daily habits mentioned above with our wellness products at Nuera can be of great benefit or whatever it is that works for you.
