MISSION STATEMENT
“TREAT THE CAUSE, NOT THE EFFECT”
NORMAN YOUNG and MITTS work in the field of complementary healthcare – not
‘alternative’ – and as such recognise the need for allopathic medicine.
We do, however, believe that there are benefits from using natural herbs and
treatments known to man for centuries. Massage is one of the most ancient and
universal of the healing arts. The sense of touch and of being touched by another
caring person is of fundamental importance to our physical and emotional growth.
By relaxing the body, massage can relieve stiffness, soreness and tension, its
primary physical benefit being to the muscular, circulatory and eliminatory systems.

MITTS PRODUCTS
MITTS attempts to source as many products as possible in Scotland, and,
where a supply has to come from overseas due to availability, it will normally
be bottled in Scotland.
A VOGEL PRODUCT
Many of these products are produced in Scotland, based on formulations founded by
the distinguished Swiss naturopath Alfred Vogel. This was formerly branded as
‘Bioforce’.
JAN DE VRIES ESSENCES
In the 1990’s Jan de Vries, the well known naturopath, found that many of
his patients were suffering from modern emotional malaise and set about formulating
a range of Flower Essences to help. Based on the original formulation devised by
Dr Edward Bach in the 1930’s, this range was reformulated by experienced
practitioners from Sun Essences to reflect the changing needs of our times.
NELSONBACH HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
From Hahnemann’s first experiments with quinine, he went on to prove the efficacy
of around 100 homeopathic remedies. In his provings, he worried that some patients
got worse before they got better after taking substances given to them. To prevent
this happening, he developed a new system of giving remedies. He diluted each
remedy and then shook it, and believed that by doing this he released the
‘energy’ of the substance. It was then found that the new system of
diluting not only prevented the worsening of symptoms, but also the more diluted
the substance the better its effects.
ANIMAL RANGE
Animals, like humans, can suffer emotional and personality imbalances. Unable to
vocally express how they feel or understand what is happening to them, their
reactions to difficulties may be communicated through uncharacteristic behaviour
such as withdrawal, destructiveness, aggression, etc. These remedies work by
providing emotional support, the benefit of which is frequently seen on a physical
level.
