Following last week's spotlight on Fairtrade and food, this week we turn our 'You ask, they answer' series to look at organics and beauty. For the next four days, ethical skin and body care products firm Neal's Yard Remedies will be doing its best to answer your questions below.Neal's Yard Remedies started life back in 1981, with a focus on using natural herbs for health and beauty. Since then, it's grown to 38 stores across the country, and started a range of green initiatives, including a number of certified organic products, bought carbon offsets to reduce its emissions and encouraged customers to recycle and reuse old packaging.This is your chance to grill them: from the controversy surrounding the chain's removal of a homeopathic malaria remedy to the benefits and reasons to switch to organic beauty products.
my bus has crashed - I've got a compound fracture in my right leg, the bone is sticking out from under the skin and is wedged into the 'Used Tickets' receptacle, my skull has had a good old thump against the seat in front and is impersonating a boiled egg after the first thump with the teaspoon, and my ribs have been broken into bits like a packet of smokey bacon crisps someone has stood on.What herbs and aromatic oils would you recommend?
Dear Neal's Yard,I notice you sell kaolin. If I eat enough of it, will I be able to shit crockery?
Does it also cover natural remedies for Heterosexuals?
Homeopathy Giving patients medicines that contain no medicine whatsoever.Herbal MedicineGiving patients an unknown dose of an ill-defined drug, of unknown effectiveness and unknown safety.AcupunctureA rather theatrical placebo, with no real therapeutic benefit in most, if not all, cases.ChiropracticAn invention of a 19th-century salesman, based on nonsensical principles: shown to be no more effective than other manipulative therapies, but less safe.ReflexologyPlain old foot massage, overlaid with utter nonsense about non-existent connections between your feet and your thyroid gland.Nutritional TherapySelf-styled “nutritionists” making untrue claims about diet in order to sell you unnecessary supplements.Spiritual HealingTea and sympathy, accompanied by arm-waving.ReikiDitto.Angelic ReikiThe same but with added “angels, ascended masters and galactic healers”. Excellent for advanced fantasists.Colonic IrrigationA rectal obsession that fails to rid you of toxins which you didn’t have in the first place.Anthroposophical MedicineInvention of the mystic barmpot, Rudolf Steiner, for whom nothing whatsoever seems to strain credulity.Alternative Diagnosis: Kinesiology, Iridology, Vega Test, etc:Various forms of fraud, designed to sell you cures that don’t work, for problems you haven’t got.Any Alternative “Therapist” Who Claims To Cure Aids Or MalariaAn agent of culpable homicide.
I liked the concept of homoeopathic money!
