Hale Clinic

The Hale Clinic is a multi-​methodology, holistic medical center. When you feel like traditional western medicine or approaches do not fully address what is going on, this is the place to go. The treatments are too numerous to list, but they run the gamut of massage and facials to accupuntcure, all the way on down to more serious medical treatments.

This place is amazing. It’s been at the forefront of complementary medicine for about 25 years, I believe. In fact it is more integrative than that. There are doctors and complementary practitioners and talk-​therapists here. Well-​known for colonic hydrotherapy but there are the most fantastic nutritionists here, massage therapists and healers as well as a dentist specialising in gum disease. One therapy that comes particularly highly recommended is the unusual sounding ‘Crystal Light Bed’, sounds spooky and it’s very powerful. There is a really good nutritionist who is really good with skin problems, very thorough. There is a service you can call here to help decide what would be best out of the enormous choice on offer. A very well-​known shop is in the basement, The Nutricentre, selling a biggest and best range of vitamins and herbs and everything you can think of and a lot of things you’ve never heard of. Also a really good bookshop.
