Medical Herbalism
(Organic Pharmacy & Tree Harvest Products)

Herbalism is one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world.  Herbalists are primarily concerned with establishing and eradicating the cause of ill health through holistic treatment of the individual.  Herbalists use whole plant extracts and believe that by using plants in their natural form, many of the side effects associated with modern medicine can be avoided.  Herbal medicine can be used to treat most of the ailments referred to an orthodox GP, including arthritis, skin problems, menopausal symptoms, digestive problems, headaches and migraines, and many other ailments.  Treatments centres on the patient as well as the disease and factors such as diet, lifestyle and emotional well-being are considered along with physical symptoms.

Acupuncture Talks and Sessions

Acupuncture is a system of healing that has been practiced in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years.  It focuses on overall well-being rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptoms.  Our daily health is dependent on the body’s motivating energy known as Qi (chi), moving in a smooth balanced way through a series of channels beneath the skin.  When the Qi becomes unbalanced, illness may result.  By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, you can stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance.  Many common complaints can be treated with acupuncture, and addictions such as those related to smoking, alcohol, food and drugs can also be helped.

Aromatherapy Massage

Aromatherapy massage involves the use of natural essential oils, and dates back to ancient civilisations.  Each oil has unique properties, and they are used to treat a whole range of physical and emotional problems including back and neck pain, muscular aches and pain, depression, arthritis, PMS and general stress and anxiety.  Aromatherapy is a rejuvenating treatment leaving you feeling relaxed, refreshed and restored.

Counselling & Psychotherapy

These forms of therapy offer an opportunity to discover a way forward from any difficult or painful point in life.  Counselling and psychotherapy help explore current problems and enable an understanding and a coming to terms with past events.  These therapies provide a means to express and release feelings, increase confidence and self-esteem and to work through challenging situations, life crises and change.  Also, specific problems can be helped such as anxiety, abuse, panic attacks, relationship problems, eating disorders, bereavement, depression and ill health.

Homoeopathy

The principals of homoeopathy were formulated 200 years ago by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann.  He believed that medicines should be prescribed according to the law: like shall treat like.  A homoeopath takes into consideration all aspects of health, considering the emotional and mental state of the patient before prescribing a remedy targeted to stimulate the body’s natural powers of recovery.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is the direct extension of osteopathy, where the focus is on the movement of the cranial, facial and pelvic girdles.  It can be used to relieve sinus problems, headaches, and neuralgia, chronic pain and lower back pain.  Cranio-sacral therapy is an incredibly gentle and non-invasive form of treatment.

Nutritional Therapy

Nutritional Therapy aims to change an individual’s metabolism from an unbalanced state – which may be causing minor or distressing symptoms and which may ultimately lead to diagnosable disease – to a state of balance, allowing the body to return to optimum health. 

Reflexology

Reflexology is said to have originated in China 5,000 years ago, when pressure therapists were used to correct energy fields in the body.  It works on the basis that there are zones in the hands and feet associated with various glands, organs and regions of the body.  It is deeply relaxing and can prompt the body to heal itself.  Reflexology is very helpful in alleviating stress-related ailments such as migraine, PMS, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia and lethargy, as well as promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

PSA Super Reiki

Reiki is an ancient Japanese/Tibetan form of hands-on healing that involves balancing Chi or life energies.  Reiki is a gentle treatment that heals at the deepest emotional and spiritual levels, and is a safe and natural therapy that is particularly effective in relieving stress, depression, anxiety and pain.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu works by stimulating the flow of Chi or life energy through the body.  It uses gentle pressure or stretch techniques through clothing to stimulate acupoints and create changes in energy patterns.  Shiatsu is used to treat a broad range of complaints including headache, backache, menstrual and digestive problems and stress related disorders.

Holistic Massage

On a physical level, holistic massage works to relieve tension from tight and sore muscles, breaking down muscle knots and assisting the flow of blood and lymph.  On a mental level, massage relieves stress and anxiety, and helps to prevent the build up of muscular tension.  Holistic massage is ideal for circulation problems, sore backs, stress and general aches and pains.
