My young niece, brother and mother and several friends have seen Sheila quite a few times for…read moreproblems ranging from back / shoulder and hip pain to difficulties with continence and stress. I have had treatments for shoulder and neck pain and can honestly say the effects were instantaneous. My young niece had severe constipation when she was just a few months old and was prescribed suppositories by her GP but understandably, her parents wanted to at least try an alternative before using them. Within 24hrs of Sheila massaging her feet in various spots, the little lass opened her bowels with a vengeance and created havoc in my brothers household!! Sheila's referrals tend to be via word of mouth although she has established a considerable amount of regular customers for treatment. As well as Reflexology, she provides other forms of alternative therapy treatments such as massages, healing etc. She will see people at her own home and in a specially adapted treatment room or will visit and treat people at home. Not sure exactly what the qualifications are but know she undertakes continuous training and refresher courses for the treatments she carries out and is registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (voluntary register for UK alternative therapists) What I like about Sheila is that she is not the sort of therapist that will tell you everything can be solved by reflexology and if you are suffering from prolonged or severe symptoms, she will advise you to seek medical attention and emphasises that her treatments compliment conventional medicine. I'm still none the wiser as to how Reflexology actually works or why but can't argue with the fact it works!

This is a random little shop to be in the midst of all the knock-off and cheapo shops in the…read moreprecinct. Dr & Herbs offers alternative and holistic therapies, and specialises in Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, when I went there I had a bit of a bizarre experience. I saw a Chinese woman who may have spoken perfect English but just couldn't understand her. I wanted a detox program that I'd heard was recommended from this place and she ended up taking me into a little room and asking me to point to the places on my body that I thought were fat. Now that's a dangerous question to ask a standard woman, if you don't want to be still listening to her complain and hour later. Still, I was as diplomatic with my body as I could be, and ended up leaving with some sort of health pill. I think I still have them somewhere.... Still, it's a good shop to browse around for the curious, and if you're interested in holistic health it's definitely worth a look in. I may nip back to see if they've invented a miracle diet pill yet - after all, Chinese medicine is likely to be more advanced than our own!

Dr & Herbs located in St. John's Precinct offers you an alternative form of medicine that is…read moretraditional Chinese. Chinese medicine concentrates on the causes of the illness and offers a natural approach as opposed to Western medicine. You'll be given a free consultation by the Chinese Doctor where he/she will gather diagnostic information consisting of four examinations - looking, listening, asking and touching. The most important examination is based upon examining your tongue, its overall colour and the coating will tell the doctor about the condition of your internal organs. The examination or consultation can be taken in a private interview room (if required). The doctor will recommend a course of treatment to assist with the problem according to the principles of Chinese medicine. An appointment is not always necessary as they will try to fit in time for you if possible. Although many claim Chinese medicine sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, one thing that can be assured is that Dr & Herbs will provide a competent level of service to all customers. Each member of staff is fully qualified and has extensive clinical experience in Chinese medicine. If you've suffered from a long term illness and still looking for a solution, Dr & Herbs could be your saviour.
