Affordable Fertility Treatment

In about 3 weeks, one of my lovely ladies is going to give birth to twins, after their mum has completed a course of fertility treatment. Another lady has just started working with me.
The treatment typically involves acupuncture, gentle stimulation and massage of reflex points located on the feet and sometimes the support of plant and mineral supplements. Relaxation is a vital part, as well.




The most important question for many is - how much will the treatment cost? Of course, it depends on how long the body needs to be ready to conceive. Most of my lady clients fell pregnant after about 5 to 6 months from the start of the treatment, with one session every 7 to 10 days. Usually, we continue treatment for the first 3 months of pregnancy, some women stay on for longer.
My fee is £55 per treatment session and I offer a 10% reduction for a course of 10 treatments when paid in advance, that means you get 10 treatments and only pay for nine.
Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested in fertility treatment. I am happy to help.

The Healing Power of Colour

Since ancient times, colours were used in the therapy of numerous ailments. Wondrous powers have been attributed to the effects of light and to the spectrum of various colours ever since.
Of all our senses, we humans use the sense of sight the most. We absorb almost 83% of all sensory impressions through our eyes. That's why it is hardly surprising that colours and light have such a huge influence on our physical and emotional well-being.
But what exactly is colour therapy, where does it originate from and how is it connected to light therapy?

The origin of colour therapy
Colour therapy is regarded as one of the oldest methods of treatment. It is most likely based on the healing properties of sunlight which has been used to treat numerous ailments by ancient civilisations. The sun was regarded as divine, its rays gave life to Earth. The people of ancient Persia, the Aztecs, Mayans and Egyptians practised sun-worship and erected temples and buildings to honour the Sun, which have survived to the present day.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was one of the first Europeans who engaged with the influence of colours on the human psyche. His book "Zur Farbenlehre" (the theory of colours) was published in 1810, and he himself saw it as his lifetime achievement which he regarded as more meaningful than his other literary works.

The German holistic practitioner Heinz Schiegl was one of the pioneers of colour therapy in the late 70s. In his book "Color-Therapie" he described, among others, methods for self-treatment with colour therapy and also enclosed coloured filters to his book, which could be attached to any desk lamp with very little effort.

There is also photo or light therapy as well as the application of infra-red light for the treatment of depression or skin conditions. Light therapy is exclusively based on infra-red or UV light. Colours do not play any role in it.

How does colour therapy work and when can it be applied?
In almost every culture in the world, colours have certain connotations and meanings. Moreover, some colours have stimulating or calming properties which are used in coloured-light therapy, for example to stimulate the body's self-healing powers. When it comes to coloured-light therapy, processes in the brain are influenced through the eyes which are called, not without reason, the window to the soul. Even the vegetative nervous system reacts to the coloured light, and the vibrations of the light are transferred to the body.

Other therapies using the powers of colour are colour acupuncture where coloured light instead of needles is used to stimulate acupuncture points, and Aura Soma with a selection of two-coloured essences from which the patient chooses the ones he feels most attracted to.
The therapist will then interpret the combination of the chosen colours and apply the essences on certain areas of the skin.

Colour Therapy can be used in the treatment of various illnesses and conditions:

Depression

Fears

Exhaustion

Insomnia

When it comes to joint problems and Rheumatism, colour therapy can be used in combination with other forms of therapy.

The meaning of the colours 
Colours mean a lot to us and we attribute various properties to them. Certainly, every human has different preferences, but some colours are said to have certain characteristics. Red, orange and yellow have warming properties, the green of nature is relaxing and recuperative, and the blue of the ocean or the velvet dark blue of the night are calming and cool. In colour therapy, colours are used specifically to improve certain conditions. Some of them are:

Deep Red - for lethargy and a lack of energy.

Magenta - for aimlessness and the feeling of inner emptiness.

Pink - for emotional or physical tension and emotional pressure.

Orange - for periods of despondency and sadness without an obvious cause. Also, when fighting against fears and sensibility towards external influences at the same time.

Yellow - for constantly feeling unhappy and easily offended on irrelevant grounds.

Green - for severe mood swings.

Turquoise - for periods of depression and sadness without an obvious reason and if you have the tendency to worry, ruminate and if your thoughts are going round in circles. Can also help with hay fever.

Blue - for impatience and feeling rushed, stress and muscle tension. Often used for headaches and migraines.

Deep purple - for severe inner tension as a result of despair and hopelessness.

Methods for colour therapy
The simplest method for self-treatment is to expose oneself to a colour lamp. Generally, every lamp which is equipped with the desired colour filter can be used. The application time should not be longer than 15 - 20 minutes per day. Relax in a calm, warm space where you won't be disturbed. You may sit or lie down, but it is essential that you can absorb the colour light in a relaxed state. You can also use incense sticks or aroma oils and listen to lovely music, if you like, while enjoying your colour light.

You can also wear a nice scarf to complement your wardrobe and to give yourself a colour boost. A wide variety of beautiful silk scarves or other natural fibres are widely available on the internet.

People with dyslexia often benefit from coloured glasses. During a treatment session at Grove Wellness Clinic, the client is given special colour therapy glasses in different colours with which they attempt to read a printed document. In many cases, the clients say that they can read without difficulty when wearing the colour glasses. Colour glasses are also used in combination with Psychological Kinesiology.
