Clinic Closure over Christmas

The House of Health Clinic will close on Wednesday 23rd December, and reopen for business as usual on Tuesday 12 January. For any emergency health care over the closure period, we do have a practitioner on stand-by. Just leave a message on our answer-phone 09 360 0550 and your call will be returned within a day or two.

$80 Gift Vouchers – an Ideal Christmas Present!

All vouchers are $80 for one hour (a saving of at least $10!). Offer expires 23 December 2009.

2% Surcharge on all Credit Card Transactions

Up until now we have been absorbing credit card fees. We are now faced with increasing prices to accommodate this, however, rather than charge everyone a transaction fee - we will be adding a 2% surcharge to credit card transactions only. This will take effect from 1 January 2010 – but you will still have the option of paying by direct credit or EFTpos in order to avoid paying this surcharge.

Thyroflex

At the end of January, we will have an electronic machine that non-invasively measures your thyroid function. The Thyroflex machine's instant results give an accurate understanding of your thyroid activity and resting metabolic rate, all at an affordable price. Watch this space in our next newsletter!

Christmas Salad

A decorative and nutritious complement to a Christmas barbeque!

Ingredients:

½ cup grated (raw) carrot
¼ cup peeled and grated (raw) beetroot
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ cup toasted pumpkin/sunflower seeds/cashew nuts*
¼ cup sprouts
Dark leafy greens

Stir ingredients together, add salt and pepper to taste
Serve on dark leafy greens

*To toast seeds/cashews: stir the raw seeds/cashews into 1 tsp olive oil in a small saucepan over a low heat. Stir frequently for 5-10 minutes until lightly browned (or when you hear the pumpkin seeds start to pop). Do not leave unattended or else the seeds will burn. Cool before adding to the salad.

The Team at House of Health wish you and your family
good health over the festive season!
