25.01.2022 Chinese medicine herbalists have a great understanding of how a virus penetrates the levels of a persons immune system and what herbs to apply at different stages of a viral attack. It comes as no surprise to us that in China an integrated approach using conventional medicine combined with traditional herbal medicine is being used to combat and minimise the effects of Covid-19 Coronavirus. We hope we can continue to get enough supplies of herbs to offer you herbal support and treatments here in Australia too.

18.01.2022 This fabulous book has really given us pause for thought. Breath by James Nestor delves into the ‘lost art’ and science of breathing, that how we breathe really matters. The topic may sound dry, but in fact it’s full of great insight regarding the power of breath to restore and revive our physical and emotional health. And how breathing correctly - or incorrectly as the case may be - influences everything from our teeth alignment to sleeping patterns and energy levels. Highly recommend. Do you have any good book recommendations? Reading is one of our favourite relaxing pastimes.

13.01.2022 Acupressure is totally underrated! We predict acupressure is about to have a revival. It might even go viral...;) The beauty of acupressure is you can treat yourself, in the comfort (and isolation) of your own home. Heres a great point on your elbow that amongst other things can help reduce a fever.
