Everyday life is filled with struggles. For some people, stress is so common that it becomes part of their everyday routine. A little bit of stress on your body won’t do you any harm – in fact it can motivate you to do your best. On the other hand, an excessive amount of stress that is ongoing plays havoc on your physical wellbeing. If you constantly find yourself feeling overwhelmed it’s time to get some help.
So, what is stress?
Stress is a physical reaction to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance. This stress response from your body is its way of looking after you. Up to a certain point a stress response can be very helpful, especially in emergency situations where stress can save your life.
But your body will reach a certain point where stress stops being good and starts causing damage to your health, the way you work, your moods and relationships, as well as your quality of life. The most telling sign of stress becoming detrimental to your health is when it has been ongoing for a long time rather than stress in relation to a particular event.
Your body can’t tell whether you have physical or mental threats – so it doesn’t matter whether you are having an argument with your spouse or are stuck in traffic, your body reacts as if you are facing a threatening situation. Continually allowing your body to be exposed to this kind of stress can lead to serious health problems, like raised blood pressure or a compromised immune system. This can increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke and can speed up the ageing process.
Health problems which can be caused, or exacerbated, by stress, include:
Common external causes of stress:
Common psychological causes of stress:
So, how do you fix stress? You can fix stress by removing the cause. If you can’t remove the cause then you need to learn to manage it. Stress management involves changing the stressful situation when you can, changing your reaction when you can’t, taking care of yourself, and making time for rest and relaxation. Getting enough sleep is also an important factor.
It’s also a good idea to find a stress release – team sports are a great way of being social while you are doing your body some good. Eating a well balanced diet and getting regular exercise can help you manage your stress.
If you can, talk to your friends or parents. But remember that your community pharmacist is always there to give you lifestyle advice. We are not just all about the pills and potions – we can advise you on exercise, nutrition and your general wellbeing. As the health professional you see most often we are always available if you need to talk.
When you step into a pharmacy, you expect more than just shelves of products. You want support, knowledge, and a familiar face. At Family Pharmacy Granville, we believe a pharmacy should feel like part of your everyday life. Like a trusted neighbour who’s always there when you need them.
We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are part of your community. And we’re proud to support your health, your family, and your future with genuine care.
A community pharmacy is about people, not just prescriptions. It is a place where locals come for honest answers, everyday health solutions, and friendly service. Whether you are picking up your regular medication, asking about a new script, or looking for relief from seasonal allergies, we are here to help with practical advice you can count on.
At Family Pharmacy Granville, we serve more than just customers. We support families from all walks of life. Our team takes the time to listen, explain and recommend what is best for you. It is this personalised approach that sets a real pharmacy apart from the rest.
In a busy world filled with large chain stores and self-serve checkouts, the local touch is often missing. But health is personal. It affects your body, your peace of mind, and the people you love. That is why community pharmacies still matter.
Our Granville team understands the cultural diversity, languages and family dynamics that make this area unique. We help grandparents understand new medications. We explain side effects in simple terms. We work with local GPs to ensure your care is connected and consistent.
That is the role of a true community pharmacy. And it is a role we take seriously.
Being a chemist is more than stocking shelves. It means being prepared, being patient, and being present. Every interaction with our pharmacists and staff is based on respect, privacy and professional standards. We follow strict AHPRA guidelines so you always receive ethical and evidence-informed information.
We are also proud to offer essential pharmacy services like prescription dispensing, Webster-paks for easier medication management, health advice, and home delivery options for eligible patients. These services are designed to make your life easier, safer and more manageable.
As a family-owned and operated pharmacy, we understand the pressures families face. Health issues do not always come with a warning. Kids get fevers at night, pain can flare up on weekends, and stress doesn’t wait for business hours. That is why our team is ready with solutions that are practical and accessible.
Whether you need over-the-counter relief, a quick chat with a pharmacist, or help choosing the right baby care product, we’re here to guide you through it with care and compassion.
Our pharmacy is built on values that never go out of style — trust, reliability, and a genuine interest in your well-being. We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are your local pharmacy. And we are proud to be part of your journey, every step of the way.
