Vivien Hobbs The word Ayurveda comes from the Sanskrit root ‘Ayu' which means life and ‘Veda' which means knowledge, in other words it is a ‘science of life.

Straps are placed around your wrists, ankles and head and you simply relax for 20 minutes whilst the reading taken. What can the Test tell me? If your reaction to a particular food, every day chemical or cosmetic is not normal it will register as either an intolerance, a mild to moderate allergy or a moderate to severe allergy. The results print out immediately in an easy to understand form. What does this mean? The more intolerances you have the more sensitive your digestive system will be and the more allergies you will be prone to developing. High intolerance can be the cause of IBS, Candida, Crohns and Coeliac diseases. Intolerances can inhibit certain vitamins and nutrients from being absorbed so it is suggested that they are eliminated completely from your diet. Mild to moderate intolerances should be restricted for a period and gradually re introduced as your immune system strengthens. What can I do to improve my health?

Sharminee Kumardevan, Dr Feng Chao £50.00 initial consultation and treatment, £45.00 follow up (for Dr Chao see individual prices) Aqua Detox is the revolutionary new way to detox. No special diets or funny drinks. All you do is sit and relax for 30 minutes whilst your feet soak in warm water. Watch the water turn differing shades of brown to yellow as the detoxifying process is activated. How does it work? It is the natural function of your cells to absorb nutrients and excrete waste products and any imbalance can prevent the cells from performing this function efficiently. The Aqua Detox unit produces a frequency (from the array submerged in the water) that gently resonates through your body and stimulates all the cells within your body. This allows the cells to electrically rebalance thus enabling them to perform efficiently and release any build up of toxins. There is now medical research showing how use of Aqua Detox can benefit the body’s blood cells, vitality and organ energy levels.

It is based on findings made by osteopaths about the motion of the cranial bones, the sacrum, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord and the cerebrospinal fluid. The therapist listens with the hands for any restrictions to the normal free and rhythmic motion of these tissues. The aim is to restore normal motion in the cranio sacral system by releasing the restrictions.

Trauma held within the body after accidents, particularly whiplash, has responded favourably to cranio sacral therapy.

The remedies are carefully selected, matching the symptoms the patient produces. They work by stimulating the body's own healing powers to restore the balance of health. Homoeopathy can treat most illnesses and disorders, emotional and physical and even works when people are on long term conventional medication. Used properly it has no side effects and there are no risks involved. This is why many people turn to homeopathy when other medication has failed or is not advisable and why it is used during childbirth, for babies and children. Olga Lawrence Jones By treating the whole person holistic massage aims to relax the muscles, calm the emotions, improve circulatiuon, recharge the body's immune system, refresh the spirit, balance life forces and thus heal the patient's “dis-ease” .

Reflexology brings relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions by maintaining the body's natural equilibrium. Vivien Hobbs, Gilly Colledge, Grace Jacobson Reiki is a system of natural hands-on healing originating in Japan. Reiki works with the vital energy around and within all living things called ‘Ki’ (‘Qi’ or ‘Chi’ in Chinese). During a treatment, ‘Ki’ is channelled into the client through the practitioner’s hands being placed in a series of non-intrusive positions covering the covering the client’s body. Reiki works on all levels of a person (mental, physical, emotional and spiritual) to restore balance, health and wellbeing. It can be very relaxing; it can boost the immune system, balance emotions and relieve many illnesses by reinforcing the body’s natural ability to heal itself. As a natural form of healing Reiki can support and enhance other forms of treatment. Gilly Colledge, Jo Marie Harris, Philippa Decker A unique healing body treatment that was developed in Japan from ancient traditions of Oriental medicine it is based on the philosophy that vital energy flows through the body in a network on channels or meridians. For many different reasons Ki can stop flowing freely and this produces a symptom. In order to restore the flow of Ki the practitioner will use a variety of techniques, such as holding, pressing with palms, thumbs, elbows, knees and feet on the meridians, and stretching and rotation of joints where appropriate.

Medical Qigong therapy is based on the energy system which underlies both Tai Chi and Qigong exercise classes. It is however a refinement of the basic techniques which allows the therapist to move the Qi in a patient’s body in order to heal them. Firstly you undergo a full diagnosis, following amongst others the 5 Elements diagnosis system. Your case history is taken and your pulses checked, much like an acupuncture consultation. The treatment section, (which involves sitting or lying, fully clothed) follows a set path of purging your energy systems, replenishing your Qi, and then ensuring that the Qi’s flow is unimpaired throughout your body. The process can be extremely relaxing as blockages open. Finally you will be given a prescription of exercises to take home. These help you to continue the process of healing that the treatment has started. The Chinese don’t make a distinction, as we do, between physical and mental problems. Thus, Medical Qigong is as effective a treatment for Mental, Emotional or Physical problems. Jeremy Colledge - Medical Qigong Therapy £50.00, 75 mins (Discounts offered to Medical Qigong students) This is an incredibly powerful and enjoyable form of healing which works through the core of the body’s energy system – the 7 chakras.

Based upon the teachings of Martin Brofman, author of ‘Anything Can Be Healed’. For more information visit his website www.healer.ch. Philippa Decker, Gilly Colledge Chakra Healing £50.00, 75 minutes What is the colon? The colon, also known as the large intestine or bowel, is situated in the abdomen. It is an extremely important organ, performing a number of functions. It completes the digestive process, absorbs nutrients, eliminates the by products of digestion and protects us from infection and disease. What is Colon Hydrotherapy? A 'colonic' is a warm internal bath that cleanses the colon of accumulated toxic waste matter. It is the ultimate Detox. Is Colon Hydrotherapy safe for everyone? Yes. The water is introduced at a low gravitational pressure so there is no danger of bowel perforation. Equipment is disposable. Colonics, unlike the use of laxatives, are not habit forming and actually improve the tone of the colon. What are the health benefits? If your body gets overloaded with toxins you can become prone to ill health. A colonic assists your body in removing these toxins. The health benefits of detoxifying your system in this way are: Improved metabolism Greater vitality Healthier skin and hair Fewer headaches Improved immune system Reduction in excess weight Elimination of undigested food A series of colonics may also help greatly in enhancing the ability to absorb many vitamins, minerals and esential fatty acids. What will happen? The colonic itself lasts approx 40 miutes. During this time warm, purified water is gently introduced into the colon via the rectum through a fine speculum, no wider than a pencil. This you can insert yourself if you wish. Using a special massage technique the water begins to soften the stored matter and cleans the colon of faecal matter and old deposits which are flushed away. Your modesty is preserved at all times. How many treatments are necessary? This depends on the induvidual case and advice will be given at the first consultation. It may vary from one treatment to a number over a period of time, after which preventative maintenance treatment may be continued. How will I feel after the treatment? As well as generally having a greater sense of cleanliness, most people feel energised, lighter, thinner and amazingly relaxed. Facts about the colon The healthy transit of food through our bodies is less than 24 hours. On average in the UK it is now 60 hours for men and 70 for women. The UK is the most constipated nation in the world. The UK has the highest incidence of bowel cancer in the world - 20,000 case a year. One in three people consulting GPs have a bowel problem. Bowel disorders such as Crohn's Disease, Diverticulitis and yeast infections are widespread.
