An allergy or intolerance is an acute sensitivity to an otherwise harmless substance. Care Cure conducts an extensive allergy test which checks your sensitivity for up to 100 food items and environmental allergens such as dust mites, pollen and animal hair.

The test is conducted by obtaining a strand of your hair, which is then analysed in our labs. When the analysis is complete we will call you for a consultation.

At this consultation, you will be given your individual colour-coded test results, which will highlight low - medium - extreme allergies. You will also receive dietary advice, lists of substitute foods (such as spelt for wheat sufferers) and a list of supplements which would benefit you.

In addition, we will provide you with our phone number which you may call if you have any further questions regarding dietary advice. Tests can be followed up by treatment if required.

Acupressure is a good alternative for anyone suffering from a phobia of needles as it follows the same principle as acupuncture.

It works by stimulating the same acupuncture points on the surface of the body but instead of using needles, the practitioner will apply pressure with the hands.

Acupressure is an effective method of improving blood circulation and repairing tissue damage throughout the body.

Via nerve stimulation acupressure can induce relaxation and improve skin tone, ease tension in muscles and joints, repair facial lymph damage and generally tone the body. For this reason, it is often used as a facial beauty therapy.

Acupressure has also seen considerable success in curing insomnia, lessening fatigue and dispelling back and joint pain.

Holistic medicine is now used all over the world. What this means for you is that each part of your physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions is equally important and imbalances in any of these areas can contribute to illness.

Holistic medicine considers a person’s mind and body, diet and exercise, lifestyle and relationships, work and leisure, and achievements and problems. Whether you have pain in your leg, a headache, or are suffering from stress Chinese Medicine follows the holistic principle.

Chinese medicine states that illness results when there is disharmony in the body, or when something is out of balance. The concept of organs is different to that of Western medicine. In Chinese medicine, organs are viewed according to their perceived functions, rather than literal functions.

In Care Cure Clinics we say that the enlightened person eats when hungry and sleeps when tired. This means living in harmony with the energy of the seasons and with the particular requirements of mind and body, which empowers you to influence your own health destiny.

Facial rejuvenation is a cosmetic technique used to encourage new cellular growth, enrich the complexion and boost skin and muscle tone.

This is achieved by invigorating the vital life force energy Qi and encouraging the blood supply to the face. The acupuncturist inserts small disposable needles into the face or if you have a phobia of needles they can achieve the same effect by applying pressure to the same acupuncture points. If needles are used they will not penetrate deeply, only being inserted just under the surface of the skin.

Acupuncturists tend to encourage those opting for facial rejuvenation to commit to a healthy diet and good skincare. Results can show a decided improvement after just one treatment.

At the end of treatments, the person will not only benefit from looking in the mirror and feeling good about themselves. They will also get the increased benefit of an energetic and holistic treatment that balances mind, body and spirit.

So why not gift yourself or a loved one with this beauty treatment? Acupuncture believes that to keep your skin looking good on the outside, it is important to work on what is inside.
