Written on December 8, 2025, by Pauline de Santarome


Back to school? It's always a tricky time of year. Between nostalgia for the holidays and apprehension about returning to everyday life, don't let going back to school become a nightmare! Take the opportunity to reset your body... and your mind!



 



According to Santarome Bio, here are four verbs to incorporate into your mantra* for the new school year:


Solution #1: Sleep

Get back into the swing of things


In summer, the days are longer and outdoor meals and evenings with friends are the order of the day. Bedtimes are later than your usual bedtimes. Before going back to school, it is important to get back into a good rhythm so that you don't accumulate fatigue.






A few days before the big day, get your body used to your daily bedtime routine again. Phyto is an ally in promoting sleep and falling asleep.






Yes, but which plants?






The Fig Tree : Gemmo's major bud, nicknamed "the bud of emotions."



Hawthorn: reduces nervousness in adults and children, particularly when they have difficulty falling asleep.



Valerian : promotes sleep and improves sleep quality.



Passionflower: contributes to optimal relaxation and physical and mental well-being.



 



Avoiding screens (blue light) before bedtime, reading, or practicing breathing exercises are tips to help you fall asleep naturally.


Solution #2: Eat

Get back into good habits



During the holidays, the watchword is FUN. But all good things must come to an end! If you've indulged in a few tasty treats (and you were right to do so—don't feel guilty, as it's not good for your morale or your fitness), the approach of the new school year is the ideal time to eliminate all kinds of excesses... Detox and change your diet, it's time to (re)adopt good habits!

A detox, but how?

The principle of a detox is to eliminate toxic substances from your body. To do this,diet is the first factor in helping to regulate your body!

Eating fruits such as lemons and apples promotes the detoxification process. When it comes to vegetables, leeks, artichokes, and cabbage are beneficial for your body. Rich in fiber and vitamins, these foods help regulate your diet by providing everything your body needs.

During a detox, it is important to stay well hydrated! It is recommended to drink between 1.5 and 3 liters of water per day! To enhance the elimination process, you can dilute birch juice in your water. Birch supports elimination functions.


Solution #3: Move

Gently getting back into exercise



Getting your body ready (body bikini, you say [AD1]?) is very trendy, but there's no point in neglecting it once fall rolls around! Instead, see this period as an opportunity to get back in shape and eliminate those holiday excesses in a different way.






How can you gently get back into exercise?






Joining a gym, running in the mornings, cycling to work—these are resolutions that don't have to wait until New Year's Day to be put into practice!






If you are not used to exercising, it is advisable to start at your own pace, increasing the difficulty or duration of the exercise with each session. With each step forward, you should feel motivated to go even further! 






To stay in shape and avoid slumps, you can opt for an acerola-based dietary supplement, composed ofnaturalvitamin C, which helps reduce fatigue.






Combined with a balanced diet, physical exercise helps restore vitality and well-being for a peaceful return to work!


Solution #4: Breathe

Anti-stress solutions



Sometimes, going back to school can be stressful and anxiety-inducing. The lazy days of summer seem far away when it's time to head back to school and work... Don't panic!

"Okay, I've got this... no, I don't!"

To avoid these kinds of negative thoughts and prevent stress, we invite you to try some breathing exercises... Abdominal breathing, alternate breathing, and projection breathing are techniques inspired by sophrology and yoga to combat anxiety. It's up to you!

You can also opt for herbal remedies to relieve stress:

Lemon balm and passionflower: promote relaxation.

Hawthorn,oak, andfig tree: these three organic buds are combined in our STRESS(1) dietary supplement, which helps reduce nervousness.

Rhodiola: helps reduce the negative impact of stress on the body.

Marine Magnesium is also a supplement that helps reduce fatigue and supports normal nervous system function(2).

No more excuses for not being at your best—this year, going back to school will be a breeze!

*sacred hymn, mystical formula, magic spell...
