They're really good at explaining what each remedy does and really seem to care about their clients. They even have taste testers in store - something you don't find in most health food stores! The other day it was a tartlet with mushroom in it - ewww sounds weird, but it looked nice enough. I declined to try...

I just love me a good health food store. When I stumbled upon Restore I was pretty delighted. I try…read morereally hard to take care with what I put in or on my body. Restore not only carries food but also vitamins, supplements, and personal care items. Sweet! There is an obvious focus on natural and/or organic products and while these can sometime cost a pretty penny, Restore has a lot of options to pick and choose from. Their selection of healthy food items rivals the best. If you ever wondered where people by hemp oil and wheat grass, this is the place. When I went in the woman working was a little in my face - meaning she asked several times if I needed help or if I was looking for anything in particular even though I said I was just looking around. I know she was just doing her job but come on. I bought a load of stuff anyway, and managed to do it all by myself!

Every now and again i go on a health frenzy and decide that i am only eating fruit and vegetables…read moreand anything that is on sale in a health food shop like natures way and natures way is perfect for this cause its big and it does lots of stuff! In i go and stock up on all manor of nuts and seeds and sesame sticks and the old favourites sesame snaps! and then they have all those dried beans and cereals and organic chocolate (its in a healthfood shop therefore its healthy, so what if its chocolate!). then i drag it all back home and nibble on a couple of my purchases, devour all the organic chocolate and then i give up until the next health frenzy! the only thing that does survive from my regime bought in natures way are the wealth of vitamins and things that you can get in here, you can find lots of different things that you are probably lacking in in your diet and this place provides you with an easy way of including it!

When suffering from stress I always think some kind of supplement will make it all better... and…read moregenerally it works - possibly from the placebo effect but I just don't care. Anyway as it's a time of stress for me I toddled in here feeling very virtuous. As you'd expect they have a range of supplements for different things as well as lots of health foods and snacks. The supplements are sort of divided into purpose which helps you to find what you want if you're the kind of person that gets addled by little jars of strangely named things. I seemed to decide that I had almost all of the problems mentioned in each division so I did have to resist the urge to buy everything. Some things are mightily expensive. What's useful here is that while there are some quite expensive products there's generally a smaller, cheaper own brand that means you don't have to commit too much money to your latest supplement fad - is that just me? - I've got tonnes of half empty jars of supplements round the house - they generally go out of date before I swing round to my next supplement phase.

However, the hop sack,which has been on the go for years is still one of its best and busiest shops. Back in the 80's. When it was nay impossible to get soy milk anywhere in Dublin the HS was there. So great for those of us with milk allergies. Despite being a modest sized shop the Hop Sack has all you health food needs, from gluten free foods to essential oils. Staff are attentive, helpful and highly knowledgeable. They ordered in stuff for me when I asked. Also check it out around easter, as they assued me they were one of the cheapest places to get Green & Blacks easter eggs this year.

The Health Store is one of those Irish brands doing a decent job swimming upstream against larger…read moreUK competitors like Holland & Barrett (or its Irish partner, Nature's Way). Stepping in, the store lacks the charm of slightly better developed brands like Nourish, or the ernest seriousness of the more local single serving shops like Down to Earth in town. Thankfully, its well stocked shelves make up for the missing pomp and circumstance; this tiny shop on the lower level of The Square is bursting with vitamins, foods and alternative treatments for mind, body and wallet. Er, spirit. I was pleased to find the brand of natural peanut butter I usually buy in town is here along with an expanded line of the brand's other butters (almond, hazel... lug) -but priced the same as I'd get in the City Centre. The woman behind the counter on my visit was amiable, happy to help and ready with a few pieces of somber advice on the vitamins I was browsing. Its genuine advice, since The Health Store put its employees through a training program recognised by the British National Association of Health Food Stores (NAHS) and the Irish Association of Health Food Stores (IAHS) -something I didn't know before going in, and appreciate as a customer.

There's no shortage of health food and natural supplement shops in this city, and I'll be looking…read moreto those before revisiting Health Matters. On a hunt for L-Glucosamine (or something like it) I dropped in here on a weekday morning looking for a small bottle of the stuff. Puzzling over the shelves for a minute, I asked a saleswoman for help... and have regretted it ever since. Brusque and condescending, she rolled out a long list of why my choice was wrong, asking me sharply what *was* I thinking and clearly whoever suggested it to me was uneducated in supplements (I wasn't winning any points, either). I was shocked to be spoken to this way in a shop, and numbly accepted whatever bottle of stuff she gave me instead (it's been put in the hall closet should I ever need... what IS that stuff, anyway?). €12 lighter and feeling quite harangued I walked out of the shop, vowing never to return. Worked out well so far.
