There are a few of these shops lurking around Cardiff. Not as extensive a selection as some other…read morehealth food shops, they are more abundant and in any area of Cardiff you won't have to go far to find one. The one on Albany Road is my local one, and I am definitely a regular! As some of the other reviews mention, there is a large amount of body building whey protein and the likes, but then, there is a gym just across the road. But they also have a bit of everything else. Toiletries, make up, cleaning products, chilled foods, dried and tinned foods etc. are all present and correct. Not always exactly what you want, but they are happy to order things in if you ask. They also have a wide range of herbal remedies, tinctures, homeopathic preparations etc. and if you ever have a problem, the staff are always happy to help. They have all the documentation and training on hand for any queries, and have a 'guru' on the phone for less common queries. And, they do a student discount - everyday! Just show them your card. Small, but perfectly formed!

I recently wrote the following, completely forgetting about this outlet of Health With Herbs! "As…read morefar as I'm aware, there are two Health With Herbs outlets in Cardiff, this one on Cowbridge Road East, and another in The Royal Arcade in the centre of town, (off St Mary Street, and The Hayes)" Oopse! I was reviewing the shop on Cowbridge Road East and continued by saying: "It's reassuring to know that they have opted to set up shop on a road that seems to be flooded with cholesterol and big fat meals comprised of empty calories, and a lot of them! Health With Herbs gives me hope that the people of Canton will live to see their fortieth birthdays!" It's pertinent to quote myself here as Health With Herbs have seemingly achieved the same objective on Albany Road as they have on Cowbridge Road East. They are smack bang in the middle of take-away central, flanked on either side by a plethora of fast food joints that extends well beyond this street and well into the next, (City Road). I continued... "I love this place. It's a no-nonsense health shop, that doesn't circum to all the gimmicks that more 'upmarket' shops trade on in order to optimise profits. I come here for things like Agnus Castus, and therapeutic doses of Vit C when I'm fighting infection. It's a really well stocked shop, with eminently affordable prices. It's brilliant!" One thing I will say that is not in its favour however, Is that it stocks all of the body-bulking body-builder type bunkum that I personally don't agree with. If you feel the same way, you can always simply ignore it... just like I do!

David Briscombe offers motivational development courses for individuals and businesses to help…read morepeople change their lives for the better. I have been on a lot of these kinds of courses as some of the places I have worked have funded such things. Before April this year I had never heard of David's work and had only been involved in day courses provided by other operators. Although I have enjoyed the courses I never really felt like I walked away with anything gained that would stick inside my thought processes. I got involved with David when I noticed he had organised a sponsored fire walk on a social networking site, to raise money for the Cardiff Institute for the Blind. This intrigued me so I got in touch to find out more and decided to get involved. I emailed the company and they sent me all of the information I needed in order to raise enough sponsorship to take part in the fundraising. After quite a bit of footwork I had raised enough money by the 30th July to head down to Cardiff Bay and walk across a bed of burning coals. Now, before we were allowed to do this we went for a preparation course which David provided. This was about an hour long and during this time David opened our thinking by means of demonstrative examples. In only and hour he had given us all the tools to walk across a bed of burning ash which had burned at 1100 F, without burning our feet off. Each and every one of the group walked across that fire, twice! And not one of us sustained any personal injury. There is no trick to it, no hypnotism or special ointments you rub on your feet to prevent burning. Just simply mind over matter using the tools of thinking that David's 1 hour course had provided us with. This, I find immensely impressive and I personally will never forget the things he taught me that day. If you want to unlock your potential and break down any barriers that may be preventing you from achieving your ambitions then I strongly recommend one of David's courses.
