The Kyolic Garlic & Aerobic Fitness Trial
Arterial stiffness is a cardiovascular risk factor, which increases naturally with age. Kyolic garlic has been shown to improve the flexibility of arteries, and slows down blood flow, which may improve oxygen uptake, associated with aerobic fitness.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient, holistic system of health and wellness that has been practiced for thousands of years. Rooted in the principles of balance and harmony, TCM emphasises treating the root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. It views the body as an interconnected system where physical, emotional, and spiritual health are intertwined. At the heart of TCM lies the concept of Qi (pronounced “chee”), the vital life force that flows through the body. When Qi is balanced and flows freely, the body thrives; when it is blocked or deficient, illness may occur. TCM employs a range of therapies to restore balance, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy, tai chi, and qi gong.
TCM offers a natural, personalised approach to health. It is widely recognised for its ability to:
cupuncture is one of the most well-known therapies within TCM. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of Qi and restore balance. Acupuncture points are located along pathways called meridians, which correspond to different organs and systems.
Acupuncture is a versatile therapy with numerous proven benefits, including:
Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture are increasingly integrated into modern health care practices. Whether you’re seeking relief from a specific condition or looking to enhance your overall health, TCM offers a time-tested, natural approach to wellness.

Real Talk: What Our Patients Really Think
James S 2025-07-04 I have been seeing Dr. Poonam Chuni for approximately 9 months which has been a wonderful experience. I have been able to assessment and diagnose underlying issues I didn’t know that I had which have drastically improved my overall health and well-being. She’s very attentive and goes above and beyond with care. Definitely great for those looking for a different experiences to conventional GP appointments Marlene Derengowsky 2025-07-04 The first thing I notice upon entering the reception area is the stillness and peaceful atmosphere...no noise, just breathing of those who work there and the clients who are waiting to be seen for their appointments. Not loud, but gentle acknowledgement as to who you are to see there. Quietly spoken with some delicate humour. I've always found Dr Peter Holsman the most incredible gentle, patient and thorough doctor. That's why I'll always be seeing him for my diagnosis and follow-up services. Effortless and streamlined pure professionalism, but incredibly warm-hearted and undeniable eye-to-eye contact that shows that he really does care. With today's hussle-and-bussle, it's a very important part of dealing with the "pain" that one's body is experiencing on a day-to-day level. The receptionist that dealt with payment for the service was extraordinarily warm, polite and without any sign of just "pay-up and out the door" attitude. Incredibly honest and warm service. The whole building vibrates with gentle souls and spirits that work within its walls. People always ask me why I travel so far to get treatment...where else can you be lucky to find a place that makes you feel like you are special. Thank you so much Dr Peter Holsman. Anne-Marie Webb 2025-07-01 Lovely Clinic. Good to have a place where you feel listened to. Excellent care from Dr Walters.
