It's rapidly becoming clear that the medical service as we know it is not the only, or indeed the…read morebest, source for healing. Alternative remedies are finally being shed the light that they deserve and institutions like Bristol Natural Health Service are flying the flag. From reflexology to hypnotherapy there is a wide spectrum of help offered here from quality trained professionals. To list all the services and benefits would take an age but the one that really stood out for me was the allergy testing. Using kinesiology and other techniques they were able to pinpoint specific food groups I had problems with. A few alterations to my lifestyle and I'm feeling much more healthy. No appointment necessary and very welcoming, I highly recommend this place.

Offering a much more comprehensive range of therapies than many other complimentary health centres it's easy to treat The Bristol Natural Health Service as pretty much a one stop shop. I have enjoyed a range of treatments here, from acupuncture to Bowen Technique, always achieving the desired results... restored health and vitality, and an end to pain... always a bonus! The practitioners have always been courteous and genuinely interested in assisting the healing process, always careful to pay attention to the detail. In all cases the therapists I've seen have remembered the ongoing development of my various conditions or complaints without needing to be prompted. But it's the reception staff that have really endeared themselves to me. All mature women, they are really lovely, always warm and devoutly concerned.

It's difficult to find practitioners that you can trust and even after moving out of Bristol, I still travel a few hours up from Salisbury to make sure I can still get treatment from her... that's how good she is at what she does.

The best bet is to ask the staff in store as they are very knowledgeable. The lady who I spoke to (who I think may own the business) was more than helpful with my queries and let me ponder for ages before making up my mind. From the outside the shop window is a little distracting and confusing so I definitely would recommend actually going inside to get you head around all the technical terms.

They offer a reasonable range of curative therapies, along with a few of the more superficial, 'faddy' treatments. The latter includes Hopi Ear Candles, which, having tried it once, I won't bother with again as I remain entirely unconvinced of the efficacy of the treatment, and didn't enjoy the experience. I'm also not a big fan of Indian Head Massage as I haven't experienced any perceptible benefits from the two treatments that I've had elsewhere. Prices are midrange, but vary from one therapist to another, so a visit to their website is essential unless you have managed to come by one of their flyers. Sessions can be booked with the individual practitioners, (a full list of phone numbers can be obtained form the well designed website, along with prices for the various therapies practiced), or you can use the messaging service on: 0117 9443173

I have found acupuncture to be excellent at treating a multitude of different conditions and find it particularly good at treat chronic pain. The only thing that it has failed to achieve in a long list f medical conditions is to make me quit smoking... but I failed to complete the prescribed course as I was called away on business half way through the treatment plan. I have however heard of people quitting smoking after one session, although how they do it I have no idea!
