Crystal of the Month: Aprictot Agate
Tumblr media
Apricot Agate is a name used for a pale pink/ pale orange/ pale yellow agate in colours that remind some people of apricot fruit. It's often banded with a white/ cream agate. It is a variety of Chalcedony; a fibrous variety of Quartz.  Apricot Agate forms as small nodules usually in igneous rocks. They are almost always banded and frequently have a crystalline centre. The stones we sell are small nodules that have been tumbled to a round and smooth finish. I use this stone to remind me of the childlike innocence we all have but forget.  ‘Looking at the world with freshness and clarity’.  A lovely ‘ahhh’ in your pocket.
Mentally
Strengthens the mind and body by bringing a sense of strength and courage.
Patience with adults who act childlike.
Emotionally-
Promotes sense of calm.
Instils gentle confidence in ourselves.
Connects with your inner child. Seeing the innocence and a childlike view of the world.
Happy go lucky tendencies.
Physically
Strengthening bond between mother and child/foetus.
Gentle protection.
Strengthens Sacral Chakra.
Spiritually
Provides focus for meditation.
It can be worn constantly on the body as jewellery for long periods of time giving quiet confidence, strength and protection.  
Apricot Agate tumble stones are now available at the Amber Zone.

Testimonial...
‘Having suffered migraines for many months, I was at the point of seeking medication from my GP when I decided to try the holistic route first and made an appointment at the Amber Zone, I’m so pleased I did! The combination of acupuncture with Ray and a soothing full body massage with Lydia, led to my headaches disappearing within a couple of weeks. Two years on and I’m still visiting the Amber Zone regularly, my headaches have gone but a regular massage and occasional acupuncture ‘booster’ sessions have kept them under control. There are many reasons why I recommend the Amber Zone, on a practical level – it’s value for money. With such high quality holistic treatments, therapists could certainly charge more but by keeping their prices competitive, customers are able to benefit from regular visits. Not only am I grateful to the Amber Zone for helping me overcome my debilitating tension headaches, I also appreciate their kindness. It is rare in this increasingly frenetic world, to meet a small group of people, who put customer welfare at the heart of their business and are willing to go that extra mile to ensure they overcome their health concerns. It is all too easy to reach for medicines when you’re not feeling at the top of your game, I would urge anyone feeling below par - to try the Amber zone first!

Acupuncture Awareness Week 7th - 13th March
Acupuncture For Arthritis...
Tumblr media
As you know by now; We Feel Good When You Feel Better! Our tag line which couldn’t be more true. This testimonial is particularly warming given how much pain this client was in.
Electro-acupuncture treatment for osteoarthritis on recent patient and her testimonial. J from Maidenhead: “Well, I would not have believed the difference acupuncture could make to osteoarthritis if I hadn’t had the treatment myself. After the first session my left hand was so much easier and that improvement has continued. As I am very right-handed I expected the treatment to be a little longer in yielding results but really by third treatment my hand was pretty much back to full, pain free use. For the relief it gives, I certainly intend to continue this form of treatment - in my opinion so much better than pain killers. And as a bonus I feel so relaxed after a session its like a mini holiday break !!”
You can book in to try Acupuncture by calling us on 01628-773988 or email us: [email protected] with any queries.

Testimonial
Tumblr media
Dear Ray, I was discharged on Sunday 21 June 2015 from Stroke Ward 8 of High Wycombe Hospital after diagnosis of Bell’s Palsy on my left face by my Consultant who had given me 10 days medicines including steroids. I am 71 years old and was advised to do some facial exercise from YouTube as well as start neurological physiotherapy. Despite my request to my G.P :  an appointment for Neurological Physiotherapy is still awaited through NHS…!! My daughter: Zahra Shk Aqil from Houston, Texas-USA inspired me to start Traditional Chinese Acupuncture ( T.C.M.) immediately as her some family friends in Houston, Texas had also Bell’s Palsy and were cured after treatment of T.C.M. in very short period. I found you as an expert and very qualified on T.C.M. B.Sc ( Hons ), M BAcC, LicAc after searching on Google and was lucky to have 1st session with you on Saturday 27 June 2015 from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon at your Clinic The Amber Zone in Maidenhead. I got full faith on your T.C.M. Treatment and requested you to book me for another 6 sessions lasting till 11 August 2015. Today was my 5th Session ( on 04 August 2015 ) with you and I must confess that according to my family & friends my recovery is over 90% as a result of your T.C.M. Treatment. Hats off to you for your help and assistance in curing my illness in such a short time. I am confident that on 11 August 2015 my 6th session of T.C.M. Treatment will cure me 100%. I shall appreciate if you can publish my above testimony in your website for benefit of other Bell’s Palsy patients. Thanks! Kind regards: Yours sincerely, Saifuddin Lakda/Mr

Has The Menopause Got It’s Claws Into You?
According to the news this morning, England’s Health Watchdog, NICE, has said that “Doctors should be more prepared to discuss hormone replacement therapy as a possible treatment for the menopause”. Whilst the report acknowledges that many women are “suffering in silence”, it does not say that more women should be taking HRT. But it does urge doctors and patients to look again at the potential risks and benefits of HRT. Sadly, the only alternatives mentioned are healthy eating, exercise and CBT!
I started the menopause at the age of 40, and my GP recommended that I took HRT.  The reason was that owing to my age then, there was a higher risk of heart attack or stroke. Upon taking it I immediately felt wonderful, and continued to do so for about 10 years, when we decided I should stop it.  BANG! The symptoms returned in full force, and of course now I was 10 years older, and less tolerant of the ghastly symptoms such as night sweats, hot flushes and extreme tiredness!
Let’s get one thing straight.  I am NOT against HRT when it is recommended for medical reasons. Also, many poor women start the symptoms just around the time their teenage children develop raging hormones, and life at home can’t be easy!  But, having done some research I have discovered that many women experience the same as me – the symptoms return when they stopped the HRT, and I do believe that this should be explained before taking it.
Don’t despair! There are good alternatives.  In my case, acupuncture helped me get through my second menopause unscathed.  Homeopathy is excellent, too, particularly if it is started before stopping the HRT, and I recommend both to my clients.  
Many books have been written on the subject, notably by Marilyn Glenville, whose knowledge is extensive, and her original book, Natural Alternatives to HRT, was very helpful to me.  She has since written many more, all of which are excellent.
So, I feel that it is important to discuss all the alternatives with your GP.  It’s all about weighing up the different choices. Don’t suffer in silence – there is help out there!
Visit www.theamberzone.co.uk to look at our extensive list of therapies and treatments or send us an email with any questions you may have [email protected].
We are here to help you feel good!
