Good Morning! I just wanted to remind you all to please take advantage of our "online order" page on our website. With the cold weather upon us and the fact that we are only allowing 3 customers at time throughout the store, we are finding increased line ups for customers. Sending us your order ahead of time is a great way to get what you need and not have to wait outside in the cold if it's busy. We also ask that during this time, that you limit your time browsing as agai...n only three are allowed in the store. Also, if you have any long orders or detailed inquiries please email or call us in advance so that we can properly serve you. Simply go to www.waterbug.ca and click on our "online orders" tab. Fill out the form and you're good to go. You can pay ahead of time or pay when you arrive. We also have curbside pick-up as well as delivery. We truly appreciate you supporting us here at the Water Bug as well as your patience and kindness. It's been a long haul for all of us, but we're working hard to keep our shelves stocked as best we can. We still have a limited supply of Christmas goodies, teas, nog, and lots of other goodies so don't miss out! Have a great day! Natalie and Germaine

Hi there! Many of us are more focused than ever on our health and the steps we can take to try and improve it. I must say... supplementing with high quality probiotics that include HUMAN strains of bacteria along with plant and dairy strains is at the top of my list. MOST of us - myself included...have been on antibiotics throughout our life time. For me- especially as a child, it was common. Antibiotics can’t distinguish between good and bad bacteria and so not only do ant...ibiotics kill the bad bugs... they also kill the good bugs. That’s where a lot of the problem begins...way back then. Not to mention that we don’t eat enough fermented foods like we should and eat toooo much processed foods Fast forward to today... science has PROVEN that our microbiome is crucial to a healthy immune system and is just as critical for mood regulation as well as healthy bowel function . New Roots Herbal is an amazing Canadian Company that carry’s a wide selection of probiotic formulas. They are all prepared a special way so that they can survive harsh stomach acids and get to where they need to go. We also have a variety of chewable or powdered probiotics made especially for KIDS. I like the one I’ve featured in my post. It tastes great and my grand-daughter luvs it! With school back in and a long haul ahead of us, think PROBIOTICS Take good care and have a great day !

What can Naturopathic Medicine do for you? Naturopathic medicine treats all forms of health concerns for all ages from irritating symptoms to chronic illness and from the physical to the psychological. It is the approach, philosophy and training of naturopathic doctors that sets it apart from other forms of health care. Naturopathic medicine blends modern scientific evidence with traditional and natural forms of medicine. Naturopathic Doctors are primary care practitioners... providing care for all health concerns in addition to providing complementary or supportive care to conventional medicine. A regulated/licensed ND treats the whole person, determining and treating the underlying cause rather than just managing or suppressing symptoms. We will often recommend the help of a Naturopathic doctor to customers in our store as a complement to their present care. We are extremely fortunate to have several Naturopaths working in our community. If you are struggling with a health issue or just want to improve the health journey that you are already on, you may want to consider one of the practitioners below Our local Naturopathic Doctors: Dr. Donna Reid B.Sc., N.D. 568 Christina Street N., #D Sarnia On, N7T 5W6 http://www.sarnianaturopathicclinic.com/ Email: [email protected] Donna Reid treats most health concerns, but her passion is treating the gut.
