As a very health conscious individual (read hypochondriac) Napiers was always going to be a winner…read morefor me. Napiers was established in Edinburgh in 1860 and this store on Bristo Place is where it all started. Victorian botanist Duncan Napier was the magician behind these health potions and up until the 1970's Napiers was passed from generation to generation as a family run business. After the death of the last family member in the line of Napiers to carry out this tradition the business closed down and it wasn't until the 1990's that it was revived - thank goodness for that! Many of the old recipes were found so the store is still true to the original. All medicine here is herbal medicine so it's reassuring that everything is natural. I used to take paracetamol whenever I had the slightest ache or pain but after living in Germany for a year I was a bit lost as you can't even buy paracetamol/cough syrup/ibuprofen anything medicinal without a prescription, but they do have an abundance of shops like Napiers and I found many of the natural products actually worked better and even when I went to the doctors I was given natural medicine as a prescription and a list of health foods to eat/foods to avoid. I guess it's a bit more informative than going to the doctors here and just getting crap that knocks you out. Due to the history and this being the original Napiers store, this branch has a great lived in atmosphere, they have little potted plants outside surrounding the doorway and inside it's bright and airy. The staff here are also very knowledgeable so whatever your ailment they will be able to recommend something for you. This branch is a dispensary but also doubles up as a clinic where you can get treatments such as massage, acupuncture etc.

Like the other reviewer, I was a little apprehensive about going for my first colonic irrigation…read moretreatment. After hearing from some others how much better they felt afterwards, I made the appointment but as the day approached I found myself getting quite nervous. I needn't have worried at all. Cathy's a great therapist and - from the beginning - was very sensitive to my nerves and my modesty! She has a great treatment centre - right in the middle of town. I went for an after-work appointment which isn't always easy to find but suited me. I'm amazed at how much better I'm feeling after the treatment - it's remarkable that something handed down by the romans could be so useful in this day and age.

I had read about colonics a while back but was unsure which one to go for in Edinburgh. I finally…read moredecided on EH1 colonics because Cathy was a registered practitioner and also a registered nurse (I had some medical issues). The website was informative and well structured and it was easy to make an online booking. Although I was a bit nervous at my first appointment, I immediately felt at ease with Cathy. She is very professional, calm and a good listener. I also like that she explains everything so well. The facilities are immaculate, modern and very central, but also private as they are tucked away from the main streets. I have had 4 treatments now. I definately recommend Cathy. If you are thinking about getting this treatment done, then go for it, you will be in good hands.

They do lots of different treatments and can help with most ailments. I went for acupuncture to go along with fertlity treatment I was having in Glasgow and the result is sleeping upstairs, I think it made a huge difference and a few friends have had the same luck. I can't recommend the team highly enough.
