Healthwise Clinic Natural Health Blog

I saw a poster on the tube the other day with a smiling child with red “apple” cheeks.  In the ad the child was meant to be a picture of health, but the cheeks looked red and angry and in fact not healthy at all.

I can’t now remember what the ad was for and it may have been retro fact-to-the-50′s.  In those days children’s books were full of pictures of happy children with smiling faces and bright red cheeks (think Mabel Lucie Attwell among others).  Red skin like this needs cooling and probably moisturing .. it needs healthwise Clinic’s Purple Balm!

Our Purple Balm is 100% natural and 90% organic.  All skin is precious – and of course a child’s skin is even more so – and it is important to only put the best products on it: no chemical nonsense with side effects.  Based on sesame oil and beeswax which nourish the skin, purple balm includes cooling herbs like indigo root, bletilla root and groomwell root which cool and calm the skin.  A small child’s red face may not look unhealthy, but it needs calming and moisturing especially in the winter.  urple balm can help any skin suffering from redness including roseacea and acne.

Jennifer Aniston (Rachel in “Friends” ) is apparently looking at acupuncture
to help her become pregnant. I am so pleased because it means that other
women could be encouraged to try it, too.

When a couple realise that they want a baby but don’t seem to be able to
conceive it can be very worrying. I want couples to know that they have
other choices other than IVF to explore. What is perfect about acupuncture
is that it doesn’t do anything artificial … we simply restore balance and
help the body back to its natural fertile state.

Of course acupuncture is not a one minute wonder. Especially if there has
been illness it can take time to find the right energy balance … and we
expect the couples to look after themselves by avoiding harmful toxins as
much as possible.

At Healthwise we have recently been looking at our success rate and
realising that 64.7% of the couples who have come to us have gone on to have
a healthy baby. The joy when they do become pregnant is wonderful and we
share in their happiness.

People like Jennifer who have had a successful career and want to become
pregnant gain enormously from acupuncture and a holistic view of health.
Acupuncture does more than just help someone have a baby. We help them
regain health so they can enjoy their pregnancy and motherhood as well.
