Still, it's a great place to find anything from seeds, breads, oils to organic shampoo, baby creams and Ecover refills. It has plenty of different brands, I've never not found what I'm looking for.

It's no ordinary shop though, you'll find locally-baked bread, ready meals, spices, rices, pulses and fresh local veg. They also have 'healing rooms' where various types of practitioners can give you therapies and alternative treatments. They also supply wholesale foods. They're not some new, trendy company, they've been slogging away since I was a kid in the seventies. Good luck to them and well done for surviving so long!

Their humous and breads are well worth a try. A bit pricier than the supermarket but worth it if you can afford it as the food is much tastier and you feel as though it might actually be doing you some good. The interior of the shop is very pretty but can often get crowded especially at the weekends. Rory McGrath shops here too!

I had passed by Eau De Vie whenever down 'round Cowley Rd and had made note of their excellent choices in aromatherapy products. SO! I decided to give them a try at fixing my back. Relaxing? Yes. Technique? Interesting but left much to be desired. Price? Cheaper than Boston pricing and about on-par with Charlotte at ~$100 for just over an hour. The real test was how did I feel the next day and I felt okay but far from relieved. So! If you feel like an awkward hour but a relaxing one, come here! If you're looking for results, maybe try somewhere else?

This store has a good dried legume section and sells Proavil soya for 99p. There is a health practitioner section in the back. The only draw back, I saw a woman wearing a white therapists outfit cleaning. Not cool if managment is so cheap here they won't get a cleaner. I would tell them where to put it.

I went in here looking for supplements. I wanted to get their prices and see what they stocked…read more When you first walk in you find a bunch of mainly Zolgar brand vitamins and minerals and then as you move along the isle it becomes food. I actually thought that was all they had in stock. It turns out that they have more supplements on the other side of the shop, a funny way to lay out your store when trying to compare varieties of the same supplement. So look around before making up your mind. They have a pretty good selection of dry non perishable foods. I found their vitamins pricey and the guy a bit pushy. I left the store.

It's like Whole Foods! With the price tag to match!…read more You know how they refer to Whole Foods affectionately as 'Whole Paycheck?' Well, similarly -- As Nature Intended (me to be broke). I suppose. This mini-chain is very similar to my favored "The Grocery" up on Kingsland Road but I just so happen to be down by Spitalfields often enough that I've popped in to this market a few times for the (not-so) essentials. Let's face it, it's a bleak state of affairs down Commercial Street at Tesco Local. I can't even bring myself to go in there. The amount of plastic wrapping and pre-packaged foods just makes me want to barf, no joke. I just can't most of the time, I'd rather go anywhere else. So yes, while As Nature Intended is a bit pricier -- it's also a LOT nicer, has WAY better food things in it and if I want to pay 100 quid for a bag of (basically) snacks, so it shall be done. Sometimes one just wants to feel wholesome, right? Yes. Of particular interest here is their health and beauty section -- well stocked and comprehensive. They carry REN, which I adore and also full range of Wedela which I buy often for the little person in our house. The soups are great, and they have CO-YO (coconut milk yogurt) which is my favorite thing of 2015 thus far. Staff is friendly. You'll be broke but you'll be happy. Good organic food stuffs up in here.

It is fully stocked with healthy foods and goodies to help you get through the week and help you to feel like an amazing human being. To add the staff are super friendly and delightful whenever I visit, always displaying a smile on their face and asking if any help is required (it is always the small gestures that count). I can literally spend near to an hour browsing the nut butters, chocolate aisle and fruit pantry, and last but not least - they even provide a sink for you to wash your fruit and veg if you wish to consume it straight away. Also, if you are lucky you may be greeted with a sample of peanut butter or other tasty snack to help you through your shop. If you're a true foodie and health and fitness fiend like me, you'll fall in love with this place!

I come here to get all the ingredients for my speciality raw chocolate, which I make for friends birthdays. The ingredients are quite unique, and generally are hard to come by around this neck of the woods - cacao butter, agave syrup, maca powder. I can always get everything here. The staff are very knowledgable, which is lucky, because there always seems to be someone needing help. As well as the standard health food supplements; (Solgar, A. Vogel, Viridian )and homeopathy and health foods, they also have a wide range of make-up, toiletries (such as Dr Hausichka and the Jason range) and eco washing products. If that is all getting a bit hard core for you, then head over to the organic beer and wine section - I told you that there would be something for everyone!

So I now find myself at places like this wonderful place just next to the warehouse cafe in Digbeth. I wandered in while waiting to go on Brum Radio and ended up buying my lunch of a thai vegetable wrap and a super red juice. Both were fresh, healthy and wonderful and also massive shouts to the woman behind the counter who was friendly happy and well informed about all of the products. We ended up having a lovely chat after I had paid my £5 for my food/drink....I left smiling and went to eat sat on a wall, in the sun. Ideal. If you are veggie, vegan or health conscious definitely pay this place a visit. 5* experience!
