But they must get some customers as they have been open for more than 20 years now! The staff are very friendly and will happily chat with you. They sell a good variety of products from run of the mill vitamins to rarer harder to find supplements and aromatherapy products and homeopathic medicines. Additionally they also have a nice little range of veggie foods too which is an added bonus especially as the food isnt the typical veggie foods you normally expect to find.

As well as this there is a vast selection of health supplements, which is surprising for such a small space, of all kinds from homeopathy right through to oral vitamins. They also have a huge selection of quirky items such as organic beers and alcohols, free from foods and even those awesome old school jam jars of sweets, like mint imperials, which are the kind of thing you expect from a gift shop in Devon. The lady at the counter was absolutely lovely and gave excellent service - multi tasking a customer on the phone and a lady in the shop simultaneously! They also have an in house Doctor who can provide acupuncture, amongst other services - housed above the actual store. All in all I found this shop to be brilliant. For all your organic health needs, come to The Health Store in Oakwood.

For those beef cake types they have all the necessary (and I use that word loosely...) products that help you to buff up to your heart's delight sans the 'roids. Homeopathic remedies are also on sale here, as are herbal teas, natural honeys, nuts and all the usual goodness! The door may be a little off-putting as it's hard to see in, but don' be put off as it's pretty friendly inside!

On entering the shop, my eyes were met with a beautiful array of fresh, organic fruit and…read morevegetables. (Or venchtables as I used to call them, until I was embarrassingly old enough to know better.) Large wicker baskets full of apples greet the customer, many having the all important bonus leaf. It truly made me want to pick them up and start skipping through a nearby meadow, wearing a flowing dress and possibly conversing with tamed animals. Too far? Forget it. A former vegetarian myself, I understand the convenience of having somewhere like Out Of This World to rely on in a city centre. It means being able to purchase items which are sometimes not even stocked in the larger supermarkets, to maintain a balanced diet without being forced to use unwanted substitutions. Too well stocked to be a health food shop, Out Of This World falls into the category of health food supermarket. There is a huge range of the usual nuts, seeds and pulses; but also a surprising number of Traidcraft toiletries, recycled stationary, hair dye and household cleaning products. Alongside fairly traded tea and coffee, vitamins, supplements and natural remedies, the store also caters for sufferers of restrictive diets. There is a varied selection of groceries for people who have to omit gluten, wheat and diary from their nutritional intake, and a large number of vegetarian and vegan ready meals. One reason why I particularly like Out Of This World, is because they stock Samuel Smith ale and lager. A real favourite with my Other Half and I, they provide us with a constant hoard. Bondgate Bakery in Otley supply the store with freshly baked loaves and buns, with gluten and wheat free alternatives available. A deli counter offers freshly made quiches, samosas and wraps - a handy lunch or a lazy supper. The staff are very approachable and were more than happy to assist me in finding a difficult item for a family member. What I mean by that, is my Gran was looking for bee pollen, because the lothario that she listens to on her local radio station had been praising its medical benefits. Any shop that can help me in my quest for bee pollen, has earned respect in my eyes.

A lot of places have changed in what feels like a very small space of time, but not Out Of This World. I used to come here on Saturdays to purchase their organic milk and elderflower cordial for the bar that I worked at on Call Lane. It was always handy to stock up in case anyone wanted a White Russian, but really it was mostly to supply my need for coffee. Also, there is nothing quite as refreshing as elderflower cordial and lemonade. Seriously, it used to be my favourite drink. I love the smell when you walk in to this shop. It's not exclusive, it's that same smell most organic shops have, but it is lovely. The smell of good. Only goodness. Nothing in here can really be bad for you. At least, that's what we can believe until we learn otherwise! Within you will find, as well as hoards of organic foods, all sorts of enviro-friendly cosmetics, cleaning products (for you and your clothes) and much more. It errs on the expensive side if you wanted to do your weekly shop here, but it is sure worth buying that elderflower cordial. Yum!

If you go into the store and ask for advice they go out of their way....'that extra mile' to assist you, which I think is lovely. The shop is situated on Lord St and is a small and well stocked store, a very interesting place to visit, quaint. The shop sells a variety of supplements, Vegan and Vegetarian products, herbal teas, organic products, food stuffs and gluten free products, skincare, hair care to name a few. It is an interesting place to browse as there are so many products on display and prices are reasonable too, and there is sometimes a clearance section that is well worth a look. There are car parks located around the town, these are pay and display, or if you only want to pop in to Natures store you can park on Lord st for a limited time only, or on Railway rd for a limited time only, in the allocated areas. Natures Store is well worth a visit, it is a friendly, family run business and Highly recommended by me. Update 10th May 2010 I feel the need to add to this review, having visited the Natures Store today. I went with particular items in mind and some knowledgeable and trustworthy advice. The items that I wanted were there and I was told when more stock would be available if there was something that they didn't have at that time, also as luck would have it they had liquorice tea which I have not been able to get for some time and they had some items on offer and in clearance (boxes may be damaged but product absolutely fine) that I purchased. Then I asked for advice regarding Vegan Omega 3,6,9 requirements and was given good, unbiased advice based on latest research and shown the product that they stocked. It was like being in an aladins cave, I was delighted with my purchases and the advice given. I can very highly recommend this store and hope that people shop there to support our fantastic local health store.
