Nutrition
Classical Chinese Medicine encourages you to eat locally sourced and seasonal foods. The stomach is seen as an adaptive system, one of our internal organs which has interaction with the external environment. By eating foods which are grown & raised in the same climate as we are, our bodies not only process and assimilate the foods more efficiently but obtain the most nutrients. This helps maintain a strong, healthy system & optimum immunity.
During an appointment we will look at your symptoms, general constitution and activity levels, making individual food recommendations according to your diagnosis. Before your appointment you will be asked to keep a food diary for 3-5 days, noting down everything you eat & drink.
Nutrition Consultation £60
To improve digestive function, manage chronic conditions of the digestive system & optimise absorption of nutrients.
Often digestive issues don't fit to a specific medical label but are due to a weakness of the system as a whole. This is often due to overloading it with the wrong foods. Taking the workload from the digestive system gives it a chance to recuperate & function more effectively improving the system as a whole.

Cleanse & Detox £65
(Gut reset)
Sometimes our internal systems can become a little overloaded, this can be due to consuming the wrong foods or due to an exhausted system which is too tired to assimilate & eliminate efficiently. A cleanse or detox must be tailored to the individuals needs taking into account how much cleansing you can do in relation to how much support you need to give any internal deficiency.
