Herbal Statutory Regulation May 25, 2011

Filed under: News Reel — Louise @ 3:34 pm

As some of you may know new rules came into place from May 2011 about herbal dispensary. We will no longer be able to prescribe patent herbs (pills). This means that I will be extending the herbal dispensary as all prescriptions will now have to be handled in-house. This is a great step forward for Chinese Herbal Medicine and will mean that unlicensed practitioners will no longer be able to dispense herbs. We already have a Chinese loose herb dispensary, however, I am hoping to extend the dispensary to include powders and custom-made pills. I will keep you updated on the progress over the next few weeks.

Thank you for your patience,

Louise

Happy Chinese New Year of the Rabbit February 24, 2011

Filed under: News Reel — Louise @ 4:32 pm

2011 – The Year of the RABBIT

In Chinese mythology, the Rabbit is a symbol of endurance and their essence is said to have originated from the Moon. During the Chinese mid-Autumn festival when the Moon is usually at its best, Chinese children still carry lit paper lanterns made in the form of a Rabbit, and climb the hills to look at the Moon and admire the Moon Hare.

Rabbit Years come fourth in the cycle of the Chinese New Year, and recur every twelve years. The Chinese New Year does not occur on a particular date, so it is vital to check the calendar to find the precise date on which each Rabbit Year really starts. Years of the rabbit include 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999 and 2011. Year of the Rabbit 2011 is February 3, 2011 to January 22, 2012.

The Year of the Rabbit is a peaceful year, very much welcomed and desired after the fierce year of the Tiger. We should go somewhere tranquil to sooth our wounds and get some well deserved rest after all the encounters of the year before. Good taste and enhancement will excel on everything, and persons will recognize that influence is better than force. A time to make sure that we do not become too indulgent. The influence of the Rabbit tends to spoil those who like too much comfort and therefore weakens their value and sense of responsibility.

Law and order will be negligent; rules and regulations will not be firmly enforced. No one seems to be inclined to bother with these distasteful realities. They are too busy having fun, entertaining others or just relaxing. The outlook is tranquil and serene. We will all have a tendency to procrastinate on unlikable tasks for as long as is possible. Money can be made without too much effort. Our way of life will be relaxed and leisurely as we permit ourselves the luxuries we have always wanted. A moderate year with an easygoing pace. It may actually seem possible for us to be untroubled and contented without much infuriation.

Award won on recommendations from clients! December 23, 2010

Filed under: News Reel — Louise @ 1:03 pm

Louise has just won a ‘Recommended’ award based on positive feedback from her clients. You can view these reviews at http://www.freeindex.co.uk/profile(louise-hughes-east-west-health)_53933.htm

Here are the last 2 reviews:

5.0 out of 5 Despite very little notice two appointments were arranged for me at times to suit myself. Very professional yet friendly service with a great deal of information given with ease. Although I had anxieties at never having had acupuncture before and being heavily pregnant, I felt comfortable, relaxed and reassured. Overall I was very impressed with the service received and the value for money and would recommend Louise to all.

Rating of 5.0
5.0 out of 5
After trying for a baby for 21 months, I read an article advertising the benefits of acupuncture for infertility. I was under a lot of stress and thought it would also help me to relax more. As soon as I spoke to Louise, she listened intently and knew what kind of acupuncture I required. She also suggested a diet and herbs I could take. The service was amazing and helped me to relax and feel better about myself than I had done for ages. The acupucture performed concentrated on the areas depending on my menstral cycle and I also had a herbal warming when I was due to ovulate. I had this treatment for approx 3 months and am now pregnant. So the acupuncture I received was more than worth the money!
