BE PREPARED FOR HAYFEVER |
|
|
| The hayfever season is suddenly upon us with this unseasonably warm weather and there are natural steps you can take to alleviate symptoms. A teaspoon a day of local honey is a great probiotic; Quercetin, from Biocare, acts like a natural anti-histamine; diluted Euphrasia Tincture (eyebright herbs) is fantastic for soothing sore, itchy eyes;Allium Cepa for streaming eyes with burning tears and streaming nose; Euphrasia for streaming eyes with bland tears, eyes are sore and itchy too (combine with the tincture mentioned above); Apis for swollen, red, hot sore eyes; Sabadilla for constant sneezing; Mixed Pollens or Mixed Grasses, depending on which you are allergic to. Health Works has all of the above products in stock. |
We also have a Hayfever Clinic which is a 20-30 minute session (£20) with our experienced homeopaths who will prescribe remedies specifically for your hayfever symptoms. You will start your individual, natural treatment programme on the day. For those of you who want a more hands on approach we have acupuncturists who can help to relieve symptoms using carefully placed needles (don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all!) Acupuncture is excellent for clearing blockages anywhere in the body and hayfever often makes you feel like your head is just one great big block. |

| FERTILITY - HOMEOPATHY & PRE-CONCEPTION - FORESIGHT |
One of our homeopaths, Vivien Levene, specialises in helping those who may be experiencing problems conceiving naturally. She combines homeopathic treatment, which improves overall health and specifically reproduction health, together with the pre-conception programme developed by Foresight. Foresight's programme identifies and addresses various areas of concern in the health of any couple to optimise their health before conception. Hair analysis is a very important part of the programme, which would be included as part of the treatment. |

NEW – STOP SMOKING PROGRAMME.
QUITTING CAN BE EASY - HYPNOTHERAPY & NLP!
As much as you're aware of the health risks, the social exclusion, not to mention the cost (smoking 20 cigarettes a day could cost nearly £2000 a year) it can just seem so hard to quit! However with Hypnotherapy and NLP it can be so much easier. This new programme will be tailored to your specific smoking habit. Just complete a simple questionnaire (ask reception to email it to you) and return it to Sarah Warder for analysis. This information will be used to create your personalised Stop Smoking Programme. The first session will explore your unique connection to smoking and change your subconscious perception of the habit. This will be followed by a second session one or two weeks later to see how you're getting on and to deal with any problem areas. The programme also includes a further free session if required within three months. The fee is £200. |
BABY CLASSES - KEEP FIT & SOCIALISE
Our baby classes are so popular at Health Works that we are opening up new classes all the time in these fabulous activities - Baby Yoga/Pilates/Massage/Signing. We don't run them throughout the holidays as many people are away or may have older children in tow. So, if you would like to get a class in before the summer holidays it is important to book as soon as possible. We keep our class sizes small, so you get lots of individual attention, plus you get to make friends with a nice bunch of local mums and occasionally dads. Some of our mums that have made friends in this way are still meeting up years later! Ring reception and ask to talk to Jo or Vivien to get booked on. 020 8503 7794. |
