As the Covid-19 global pandemic continues, we find ourselves looking for ways to cope with this unpredictable challenge. The pandemic has changed the way we live, work, think and function and has put a huge amount of strain on healthcare systems, governments, businesses, societies, family units and individuals.
With it has come a mental health pandemic, more silent and, possibly, longer lasting. Results of a national health survey on pandemic behaviours in Thailand, published in 2021, showed that as the covid-19 pandemic developed, people had a reduced sense of control, highlighting an increase in anxiety in the population.
In this presentation, we will look at what happens to the body when one is exposed to stress. We’ll also look at complementary medicine, dietary and lifestyle solutions to: address common symptoms associated with stress, improve one’s resilience to stress and enhance mental health and wellbeing.

The company we now know as Blackmores started in Queensland in the 1930s. It was the vision and passion of Australia's pioneering naturopath, Maurice Blackmore, a man who would be truly proud that Blackmores today is Australia's most trusted name in natural healthcare.
Since day one, Blackmores has taken a long-term, holistic approach to health. Our philosophies run deep and the values that guided Blackmores back in the 1930s continue to be at the heart of what we do today.
The quest for optimum health requires a never-ending pursuit of reliable and trusted information. We recognise that every day you make choices about your health and wellbeing and we want you to be in the best position to make the right decisions.
