Holistic Health

Health and wellbeing of all the people at Copper Beeches is important to us.  We are currently trialling Redbush tea, as recommended to us by one of the family members of Copper Beeches. Despite the fact it is three times more expensive as our current tea we are hoping that the benefits for all the people who reside, work and visit here, will outweigh the cost.   

 

Benefits  

• It is naturally decaffeinated and can be drunk just like regular tea.
• It is the perfect way to hydrate with every cup counting towards your daily fluid intake.
• It also contains no caffeine so is a great choice for people wanting to cut down on caffeine or who want a night time drink to help restful sleep.
 

 Nutrition  

• High mineral content and polyphenols can help maintain healthy skin, teeth and bones, and metabolic processes. 
• Like fruit, vegetables and green and black tea, Redbush is naturally rich in antioxidants. Foodstuffs containing free radical fighting antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and flavonoids, are vital for a healthy lifestyle.
• Redbush contains calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc as well as trace elements - copper and manganese. Redbush is also particularly rich in flavonoids, just like black and green tea.

 Therapies  

We are aware of many other natural products, remedies and therapies that may be beneficial to health, comfort, pleasure, enrichment to lives, beauty and wellbeing of the people who live at Copper Beeches.  We currently provide a one hour per week group Complementary Therapy session for our residents with Bridget Roberts CthA..  Residents can also have their own private sessions with Bridget for massage (including Indian head massage), aromatherapy, reflexology, diet and nutrition, lymphatic drainage massage and life coaching.  For further information you can reach Bridget on her email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
