A number of Irish primary schools have been reaping the rewards of meditation time for students. Children are using it in the school yard during moments of conflict and other pupils say it has helped them ward off nervousness during exams.

2pm: I am so thrilled to be taking this trip to check out the Société Thermale La Roche-Posay Centre in France. Just getting ready to board the plane and already I am having my first experience of La Roche-Posay as I am spritzed by a fine mist of thermal spring water. Very refreshing, will help to prevent my skin drying out on the airplane and it doesn’t affect my make-up! I am travelling with...

I have had an amazing experience and learned so much, I am so grateful to the Société Thermale La Roche-Posay Centre for giving me this opportunity. I can honestly say I never realised the full impact that having a member of the family, particularly a child, suffer from severe dry skin or...

New research has found one in ten mothers suffer from depression during pregnancy. It was previously thought that pregnancy hormones helped protect against this, but hormonal changes during pregnancy can actually contribute to the development of depression. There are now calls for more to be done to identify and treat the illness in pregnant women, following evidence that shows mental and...
