Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to address a variety of health concerns, including nausea, back pain, arthritis, and headaches. Using very fine needles, acupuncture aims to bring back your body to a point of balance and harmony.

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 contributing negatively to your health and wellbeing issues. The exact method for testing may differ from store to store.

Food and environmental sensitivity testing produces a report that 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.

Hair follicle scanning

A hair follicle scan helps you to make better nutritional, lifestyle and environmental choices, and it takes just 20 minutes!

The aim of the scan is to provide you with a 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 scan with Health 2000, a team member will go over this report with you to help to clarify any questions or concerns that you may have, and to help clarify the results.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation 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 love 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.

Zinc is a mineral that is present in every tissue, organ and fluid in your body.

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.
