Mental Health Awareness Week
From the 10th to the 14th it’s Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK. This year will be the 21st anniversary of this global event. Given how difficult the last year has been, our mental health has never been more important.
This year’s chosen theme of ‘nature’ couldn’t be closer to our heart. Humans have a complex relationship with nature. It can relax us in ways that we aren’t always aware of. Smells, colours and the sense of freedom have a positive effect on us that we aren’t always immediately conscious of. Between the pandemic and lockdown restrictions, getting out into the fresh air and exploring local green spaces is what has got many people through.
This week shines a light on both our connection with nature and the positive impact on our mental health. Not only that, but with the new Environmental Bill about to go through parliament and the G7 Climate Conference to be held in the UK, this is an opportunity to impress on leaders and decision makers the importance of preserving nature for our collective mental health benefits.
At Truthpaste we hold our connection with nature at the core of what we do. Our aim has always been to work in harmony with it and utilise it respectfully and sustainably. In Brighton we are unbelievably fortunate to be nestled in between the rolling hills of the South Downs and the vastness of the seashore. Lockdown has meant that we have collectively swapped our lively city life for walks in the woods and strolls along the beach.
The Truthpaste team has been busy through the last year working in line with COVID restrictions to ensure we can keep you smiling. However, we’ve all been enjoying the benefits of nature whenever we can throughout the pandemic to keep our spirits up. National statistics show that nearly half the population are spending more time outside since the pandemic and our team have been no exception.

Being so close to the South Downs, I’ve really enjoyed the opportunity to go for walks with my bubble. The views are spectacular and it’s a great place for me to unwind and relax. I love the feeling of space and liberation that you can’t get within the city. We always stop to say hi to the local cows as well! I’m delighted that Mental Health Week is choosing to focus on the benefits of really connecting with nature. For me, it’s at the core of what I do and I truly believe that we can all benefit from spending time nurturing our relationship with it.

I have spent most of lockdown with my 5 year old son, which means that I get to experience the world through his eyes. It’s hard not to be enthusiastic when he takes so much delight in the natural world around him. Trips to the beach are never boring and walks on the downs are fascinating. The weather never puts us off, it just makes the day more interesting! Mental health is a subject very close to my heart. I’ve been very fortunate to spend lockdown in a city surrounded by so many natural spaces.

I’m up at the crack of dawn to walk my dogs in the woods. There’s a huge field where they can get all the exercise they need and then go for some lovely secluded walks through the wooded areas. My favourite time is Spring because the bluebells are out and make a beautiful blue carpet across the ground. I really feel for anyone missing their family this last year. I have a close family and I’ve missed them so much over lockdown. The woods have been a welcome escape and an oasis of calm.

Since March 2020 I had to find a new sporting activity as my tennis and indoor football suddenly stopped due to lockdown and restrictions. I dusted off my bike and began cycling.... In September 2020 I cycled a total of 78 miles, including a full circuit of the Isle of Wight. It certainly wasn't at any record breaking pace but it was a big personal achievement and not something I would have imagined achieving at the start of the year. Even in these difficult times there are always positives we can search for and new challenges we can set ourselves. I have loved the freedom, discovering beautiful countryside on my doorstep and the positive mental health benefits (required now more than ever).
Let customers speak for us
from 1462 reviewsI’ve been using truthpaste fennel flavour for ages since making an impulse buy at a farmers market…I used to have painfully sensitive teeth, but no more, this stuff works for me …no going back, I love it!

I’m chuffed to bits I found Truthpaste! My teeth were not in finest form and just a few weeks later they are almost pain free. I am waiting to see the dentist about a fissure in my molar and the pain is gone! I couldn’t even eat on the left side. What a relief🦷🤍I’ll be ordering my top up very soon. The only thing I need to get used to is the taste. It is good don’t get me wrong but it is quite tasteless after using sensitive toothpaste my whole life, just need to get used to a more natural flavour. Thank you so much 😁

The best tasting best clean feeling toothpaste ever.
A fantastic product.
I will never use any other brand

I have been using this toothpaste for just over a year now and will never go back! My dentist even asked what I was doing as my oral hygiene was brilliant! My gums are far less sensitive and my mouth biome is restored. Thank you.

A milder flavour than the original. My gums have stopped bleeding and are growing back. Great product.

I've had allergies to toothpaste and struggled with bleeding and receeding gums since pregnancy 20 years ago. My gums are no longer bleeding, they are growing back. Mouth feels clean. Not the nicest taste, but a small price to pay for a healthier mouth.

Highly recommend on my 3rd bottle now.

Really good bundle. Definitely recommend. Glad I got as a bundle also brought the mouth wash and love it. Will be re ordering again once used all the toothpaste.

Really good. Highly recommend. Even as the wire is bendy it’s able to go around the teeth better and I love it. Feel like I’m getting a really good clean.

Amazing stuff! Go through it so quickly had to order another 2. Would highly recommend. The mint taste is also very strong and lasts a lot longer then most other mouth washes.

I have purchased this twice ,and love it . My dentist has noticed the difference,I think it would be difficult to go back to other toothpaste

I have deep pockets around my teeth, so I use a water flosser to remove the gunk. To my amazment, since using this product, I can report that just a 1/4 of gunk is now washed out of my mouth using the flosser- which tells me my gums are now shrinking around my teeth and they no longer bleed either! This I would never had believed was possible!

Original: Peppermint & Wintergreen (100ml)
