Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in both men and women. It is a genetically influenced and hormonally mediated condition characterised by a gradual miniaturisation of the hair follicle. Over time, affected hairs become progressively thinner, shorter, and lighter in colour until growth may eventually cease altogether. This process does not usually happen suddenly, but rather develops slowly over months or years.

Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that delivers carefully selected nutrients into the skin through a series of superfine micro-injections. Homeopathic mesotherapy combines this technique with bioregulatory and homeopathic preparations, creating a gentle yet highly effective approach to skin rejuvenation and overall wellbeing.

Tuina is a very important component of Chinese medicine alongside acupuncture and herbal prescription. However, Tuina can be a complete healing system in itself as not only does it work on muscle groups, joints, sites of pain and poor circulation, but it works the same meridians and points used in acupuncture and employs the same basic theory as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): "Injury or disease causes blockages in the channels of the body. Blockages cause pain."

The Bowen Technique is a gentle, hands-on therapy that uses precise rolling movements over muscles, fascia, and connective tissue to encourage the body to rebalance, repair, and reset itself. Rather than forcing change through pressure or manipulation, Bowen works by stimulating the nervous system and supporting the body’s natural self-regulation processes.

Kinesiology is a complementary health energy therapy for stress. It uses muscle testing, acupressure, essential oils, flower remedies and positive psychological affirmations. Allergy testing will often be done during the session or as a separate session. It connects with the inner body intelligence that is held in the heart, mind and higher self. 

Electrolysis has the longest known track record together with the most effective results for permanent hair removal. It is the science of permanent hair removal utilising probe devices. A fine sterile probe is inserted into the hair follicle and a small amount of electrical energy is discharged which destroys the hair growth tissue.When this is performed by a competent, trained electrologist, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated.

Handed down through civilisations, Hopi Ear Candling can aid in the treatment of ear related problems such as excess wax and sinus problems. Hopi ear candling is believed to have been used by the ancient Greeks. However, it is thought that it was the Native Hopi Indians from North-eastern Arizona who introduced Hopi ear candling to the West. The Hopis traditionally used Hopi ear candles as part of their healing rituals, with their use being depicted in ancient wall paintings. Hopi ear candles are made of cloth shaped into a cone and covered with beeswax. 

Reflexology can treat problem areas by working on pressure points on the feet. A full reflexology treatment will aid the body's own healing mechanism and leave you feeling relaxed and calm.There is evidence that a kind of foot therapy was practised in ancient China, Egypt and in North American Tribes, although the true origin of Reflexology remains uncertain. Several books were published on foot zone therapy during the 17th and the 20th century. The underlying theory of Reflexology tells us that certain reflex points on the feet correspond to certain parts of the body. 

Sound therapy can help prevent stress from becoming prolonged and chronic by helping the individual to relax and let go, as well as bringing the body back to a healthy vibrational state.

Dr Sarno is an American Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine who has published several best selling books on the subject, such as: Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection and Mind Over Back Pain. He developed the theory of there being a psychological and emotional basis for back pain and symptoms, after studying the behaviour of his own patients. The theory, also called TMS (tension myoneural syndrome), is based on the belief that it is a psychosomatic illness which is causing chronic back, neck, and limb pain, which is not relieved by standard medical treatments. Although his theory has yet to be accepted by mainstream medicine, he has successfully treated and cured thousands of patients based on his theory.

With all the health and dietary advice going around, it can be hard to figure out what is right for you.

Lets take a look at the most recent research to set the record straight on how the frequency and intervals of our meals affect our body.

Dry needling is used to treat muscle knots or trigger points as they are also known. Although dry needling is similar to traditional acupuncture, it differs in that it treats the muscle pain directly and is not based on traditional Chinese medicine. Dry needling is also known as medical acupuncture, as the basis of this therapy is derived and explained by western neuroanatomy and modern scientific study of the musculo-skeletal and nervous systems.

If you are an arthritis sufferer you may be wondering whether massage is a suitable therapy to relieve some of the symptoms of your condition.
