Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an aspect of Chinese medicine that focuses on the
belief that each organ in your body has its own associated channel or
pathway or energy. Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to

arthritis, and headaches. Using very fine needles, acupuncture aims to
bring back your body to a point of balance and harmony.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy uses aromatic plant oils for the benefit of physical or
mental wellbeing. Different oils have been used for support against a
variety of different health concerns such as stress, sleep, congestion
and so much more.
While Health 2000 stores already carry a diverse range of aromatic
oils, an aromatherapist can help to determine which oils or combinations
of oils would work best in supporting your health and wellbeing
concerns.
Blood pressure testing
Blood pressure is a fantastic indicator of your overall health. It is
often the case that the higher your blood pressure, the higher your
risk of developing health problems in the future. A high blood pressure
usually indicates an extra strain on your arteries and heart. Over time,
this strain can cause a variety of health issues that can impact your
day-to-day health, and in particular, the health of your heart.
An in-store blood pressure test allows you to monitor your blood
pressure to try to maintain a healthy level. The team in store are also
able to offer advice on any questions or concerns that you may have
regarding your blood pressure levels and associated health and wellness
changes that could support them.
Chiropractor
A chiropractor focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of
neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment through manual
adjustment of the spine. The aim is usually to reduce pain or support
the functionality of your body, as well as to educate about how you can
account for your own health via exercise or other therapies to reduce
your issues.
Chiropractors focus on the intimate relationship between the nervous
system and the spine – in particular, the belief that biomechanical and
structural derangement of your spine can affect your nervous system.
Chiropractors also believe that chiropractic treatment can restore the
structural integrity of your spine, reduce pressure on sensitive
neurological tissue, and consequently improve your overall health and
wellbeing.
Colour therapy
Colour therapy operates under the philosophy that all things have an
optimal vibrational frequency. Colour therapy works to align these
vibrations to effect optimised function within your body through the
selection and application of specific colours for specific purposes.
With their attuned knowledge of the vibrational frequencies of
colour, a colour therapist will assess your individual needs (illnesses,
viruses, psychological needs etc.), and apply the appropriate colour
(operating on the associated vibrational frequency) to assist in
bringing your body back into alignment with your optimised self.
Food & environmental sensitivity testing
Food and environmental sensitivity testing look into which foods or
environmental intolerances may be causing irritation and possibly

allows you to determine whether certain foods or factors should be
avoided or whether they are not likely to be having an impact on your
health. When you undergo hair allergy or intolerance testing, a Health
2000 team member will discuss your report and results with you, helping
to clarify any questions or concerns.

guideline to suggest dietary, nutritional and lifestyle changes that
could be made to ensure that your body’s cells are functioning at an
optimum level.
The test produces a 30 page Optimise Wellness Report which offers
guidance for the optimisation of your individual cellular needs. These
needs may vary from specific nutrients to help with optimised cell
function and overall wellbeing, foods that can help you to achieve these
needs, interference foods to avoid to help your body find balance and
optimal function, the environmental factors which may be interfering or
influencing cell function, and much more. When you get a hair follicle

pH testing
Most biochemical reactions essential to not only your health and
wellbeing, but to your life in general, take place in a fluid
environment within your body. Your body is designed to maintain a very
delicate pH balance in its fluids, tissues and systems; therefore, pH
levels can be a fantastic indicator of the health of your body.
The test for pH levels is simple and pain free. Results provide a
good indication as to the current pH levels of your body and allow the
team members at Health 2000 to provide you with expert advice to address

that is believed to also promote healing. Reiki is based on the idea
that an unseen life force energy flows through all of us and is what
causes us to be alive. Reiki believes that if your life force energy is
low or stagnant, then you are more likely to feel unwell or under
stress, while if it is high and flowing then you are more likely to be
happy and healthy. Reiki healing treats you as a whole person, including
your body, emotions, mind and spirit, with the aim of creating relaxed
feeling of peace, security and wellbeing.

your body. Zinc is a vital nutrient for healthy immune function, energy
and metabolic regulation, and is also key to male reproductive health.

as a part of your diet.
Many of our stores offer a quick, easy and pain-free way to check
your zinc levels to see whether your zinc is at an optimum level. Once
you have taken the test, our team members can offer advice and
suggestions to increase or maintain your zinc intake based on these
results.
