The Health Store

I love visiting health shops to look at the alternatives that I could buy to cure all sorts of different complaints. if I had them,
Anyway, this is a good place to stock up on my sesame snaps that I really love and also to buy the seeds and vitamins that I favour.
The prices aren’t high so it’s easy to afford to give your immune system a boost with some healthy snacks and vitamins.

This shop is a lovely gem of a shop in the little town of Oakwood. It might not have the fruit and veg section as in Love Organic, Chapel A, but it certainly can match them for organic nuts and seeds! As well as this there is a vast selection of health supplements, which is surprising for such a small space, of all kinds from homeopathy right through to oral vitamins. They also have a huge selection of quirky items such as organic beers and alcohols, free from foods and even those awesome old school jam jars of sweets, like mint imperials, which are the kind of thing you expect from a gift shop in Devon.
The lady at the counter was absolutely lovely and gave excellent service — multi tasking a customer on the phone and a lady in the shop simultaneously! They also have an in house Doctor who can provide acupuncture, amongst other services — housed above the actual store. All in all I found this shop to be brilliant. For all your organic health needs, come to The Health Store in Oakwood.

A dinky little testament to healthy, alternative living this shop has well priced dried fruits, nuts and seeds section (albeit very small) yet a well stocked aromatherapy section that seems rather over-​priced. There’s a nice range of organic vegetables and wholemeal breads and scones, loads of biscuits and sweet things to feast your eyes on. There are the usual protein and vitamin supplements filling the shelves as well as a good selection of wine and a couple of bottles of cider. As I look at the wine the shop-​keeper assures me they are all very good as she had the job of sampling them all for the sake of us, the consumers. In conjunction with the shop is a therapy centre which I haven’t tried yet but it is useful to have both these things in the same place.
