    5.11.11 - the Dr Hauschka Lemon Body Moisturiser

    " I am 84 years old and that moisturiser is the best I have ever used"

    " that was just amazing"  and another comment  "I feel 10 years younger"

    "I would like to express my gratitude to the team at Bodywise for their help with my two year old daugther recently.  I found the staff at Bodywise to be patient, good listeners and very professional in their approach to my concerns for her health.   The recommendation given was for Aconite and Dry Cough Mixture medicines.  These were given to try and combat respiratory problems that Marae would experience with every common cold she had caught over the previous few months.  Almost all these colds had resulted in hospital admissions which was of course very stressful for her and for myself.  I am relieved to say that since using these products we have not yet returned to the childrens ward as her wheezing, coughing and respiratory difficulties during a cold have definitely been reduced.  Thank you to the Bodywise team!.  Deborah and Marae.

    2009:  Carole Fisher launches herbal medicine teaching textbook
    Bodywise registered herbalist and author Carole Fisher has launched her second textbook, Materia Medica of Western Herbs. Carole says that arising from her years of teaching herbal medicine it became apparent that a textbook of medicinal herbs was desperately needed.
    “I co-authored Materia Medica of Western Herbs for the Southern Hemisphere with Gil Painter in 1996 and this book became a standard text in all the major institutions teaching herbal medicine across Australia and New Zealand,” Carole says.  “This year I updated this book, which is now entitled Materia Medica of Western Herbs and contains a fully referenced review of 180 medicinal herbs.” 
    The monograph for each herb includes information on any scientific research, clinical trials and interactions with drugs. Textbooks are available from calendula@xnet.co.nz
