Food Intolerance Test and Nutritional Consultation

Millions of people suffer from food sensitivity/intolerance and it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly when an intolerance to a certain food begins. For many people the problems start with a headache or poor digestion, bloating, and stomach pain and slowly over the years, lead to new symptoms, e.g. skin complaints, mood swings, or feeling constantly tired.

Dr. George Goodheart discovered in the 1960’s, that muscles communicate with organs via nerves and the spine. The nerves in your body create an electrical circuit and wherever there is an imbalance in the circuit due to exposure of a certain food, the muscles work less effectively. This practise developed into the treatment Applied Kinesiology. By creating small vials containing different food and drink, and placing them in your hand, Dr. Heli monitors the strength of your muscles to indicate if you are having a mild reaction to a certain food group.

Dr. Heli will note your results, giving you a clear understanding of what food groups to avoid or find an alternative. Dr. Heli recommends having a yearly check up to stay on top of your intolerances is best practise, as intolerances tend to change overtime. By staying in control of you gut health and learning about what complements your body, this allows your digestive system to heal and become stronger which will therefore improve your immune system and your overall well-being.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural alternative to cosmetic surgery which is designed to help reduce the signs of ageing through ancient Chinese medicine.

The treatment begins with a thorough consultation, followed by a gentle relaxing cleanse of the face and the application of fine acupuncture needles to the areas of concern which will be determined and discussed in your consultation.

You will also enjoy a unique anti-ageing massage using jade rollers combined with a relaxing drainage massage using the ancient art of cupping. Cupping is an old practise but just as effective as it was back then. Using silicon cups and heat draws out toxins, relieve stress and stimulate blood circulation whilst restoring the skin’s natural tone and revealing a youthful radiant glow.

This treatment helps to increase collagen production which in-turn refines lines and wrinkles, lifts, firms and tones the contours of the face and neck.
