Why choose an alternative therapy?
Prevention is always better than cure. Alternative therapies seek to prevent where possible by building the bodies natural immunity and defence. They offer relief and genuine repair of vital organs. They free us from having to overload the body with antibiotics or drugs. Alternative therapies work on the principles of seeking to stop a health problem from evolving into a more serious condition by treating the root cause of the problem. This entails taking into account the body and all its systems as a ‘whole’. Traditionally medicine rarely seeks to do this. Many of today’s GP’s simply detect individual problems one at a time and ‘band-aid’ these in isolation, usually with a toxic antibiotic or drug. These sorts of traditional medical solutions aid the problem temporarily however long term, the problem remains and will re-surface perhaps in an even more detrimental form.

Become a yohm platinum member and receive complimentary notes on subjects such as the effect of antibiotics to the body and that of your children’s bodies.

Homeopathy – recognises that all systems of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the patient needing treatment rather than the disease.

Bowen Technique- involves precise special moves across tendons and muscles using gentle pressure, with thumbs and fingers, tuning the body, much like a guitar or violin. Clients remain clothed through out. The practitioner leaves the room from time to time through out the treatment allowing the body time to respond to the gentle manipulations made. Excellent results have been achieved for sufferers of Osteo Arthritis, sprains, frozen shoulder, joint pain and allergies

Ear Coning-dates back to the ancient Egyptians and many consider it as much a part of personal hygiene as tooth brushing. Its objective is to relieve pressure in the ears, fight infection, and remove toxins and excess wax from within the ears. How? Long tapered cones are inserted into the ears and lit. Warm dry smoke from the cones draws out excess fluids, wax and debris by osmosis. At the same time, vaporised bees wax and herbal essences in the smoke infuse their natural infection-fighting properties into the inner ear, sinus and lymph drainage systems.

Colour Therapy- Using the seven colours of the spectrum, our Colour Therapy aims to balance and enhance our body's energy centres / Chakras and also to help stimulate our body's own healing process. Colour Therapy uses colour to re-balance the Chakras (our energy centres) that have become depleted of energy.

Each of the seven colours of the spectrum, resonates with one of the main seven chakras of the body. These chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to the others. Colour has a profound effect on us on all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. If our energy centres become blocked or depleted, then our body cannot function properly and this, in turn, can lead to a variety of problems on any level.
