Yippee! Christmas is nearly here! I love Christmas time, seeing all the shop
windows dressed to impress and bringing us joy. I wonder who will win this years
Christmas shop window competition? Judging takes place on the 12th of December
so there is still time for shops/businesses to enter! Please send in any photos and
we will share them on our ever-growing facebook page.
There’s free parking again this Christmas in all shoppers car parks in Christchurch
and Highcliffe from Monday 17th December to Monday 24th December - come
and show your support for the town centers this year. Don’t forget that the
Christmas Lights Switch On will be on December 1st - always a great occasion to
bring the kids into town and give them a day they won’t forget!
Congratulations to Heather & Geoff of Mr Simms Sweet Shoppe who won this
month’s Business Award for Christchurch, having received some lovely testimonials
sent in by you, our readers. If you would like to nominate a business that has served
good news in the town, that’s what it’s all about!
Please, please, please support your town and shop locally where you can. We’re not
saying don’t go to the supermarket/out of town for everything, just make that little
bit more effort to think about whether you could actually get it locally, you’d be
surprised at what a difference you can make especially if we all try and do the same.
Finally, it’s Happy Birthday to us! Local Eye Magazines have been running for three
years this December and have gone from strength to strength. We have listened to
our readers and advertisers and with your support, have been able to produce the
Highcliffe Eye in addition to the Christchurch Eye to you earlier this year, which has
received an overwhelming response from you all. Thank you so much for all your
kind words and support, they really do keep me going!
Merry Christmas to you all.

I would like to tell you about two products that could provide a good option to help rheumatic problems. Pain can be so distressing. We all know that constant use of pain-killing tablets and some creams brings unwanted side effects. I would like to tell you about Devil’s Claw and Arnica Gel which can also be used in other complaints such as back ache, sports injuries and muscular pain.
What is Devil’s Claw?Devil’s Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) is a plant originally found in the Kalahari desert. Because it became endangered and because of its importance, it is now sustainably cultivated there.
Numerous studies have shown that Devil’s Claw extract reduces pain in patients with rheumatic problems, and improves mobility. It can be taken over the long term with no adverse side effects. Its analgesic
due to containing bitter substances. Bitters are well-known to help painful indigestion, bloating and related problems. Devil’s Claw can also improve appetite. But don’t worry, it does not mean it will make a normal appetite bigger!
Devil’s Claw has been used in cases of
it has been seen to improve the condition
Injuries to the ligaments and muscles caused by sports activity or trauma
also respond well to Devil’s Claw. Combined with Arnica gel it soon gets you back to doing what you like best.
Arnica gel for faster relief. Arnica Gel is a herbal remedy made from
easy-to-apply, non-greasy gel. It is great for muscle aches or pains, stiffness or after sporting injuries. It can be used up to 4 times a day. There are no contraindications when using other medication and it does not have a strong smell.
A Vogel delivers quality you can trust.Herbal remedies are only as good as the ingredients used. Our preferred Devil’s Claw product is Atrosan. Atrosan, has been licensed for the relief of rheumatism. It can also be used for joint pain (knees, shoulders, hips, etc) back pain and muscular pain. Atrogel is also an A Vogel
favourite at our stores.
Glucosamine and Fish Oils.Atrosan and Atrogel combine well
glucosamine. Where pain and swelling is moderate to severe it would be well-worth trying this combination.
We want you to feel better. Try this combination at a special price. For more information visit our stores in Ferndown and Christchurch or our web store www.myhealth365.co.uk

Christmas Day in South Goa
December
Minutes to midnight last day of December.
Days have been like cricket balls flying so fast
My memory cannot catch them to remember
The present is fading full astern into the past.
Seems a short time ago we were walking in the snow
Intoxicated again on last New Year.
The stars shivering. The wind trying to blow
The light out from the moon in bad temper.
Did all of your resolutions lapse like mine?
Did you fulfil your vows like you wanted to?
I vowed to be patient, and to drink less wine.
Okay as usual I got none out of two.
Close to midnight. Big Ben emits silent powers.
Vow not to waste time. Cannot recycle hours.

Christchurch is going Totally Locally, come and CHRISTCHURCH
If every adult in the CHRISTCHURCH AREA
spent just
£5 per week in their local independent
shops, instead of online or
at the big supermarkets,
it would be worth AN EXTRA
£8.2 million
per year going into the
local economy.
Which means more jobs, better facilities & a nicer
place for us all to live.
Makes you think doesn’t it?
