East Meets West

Eastern Garden Natural Health Center Opens

When walking through your neighbour’s melon patch, do not stop to tie your shoe.

Not all Chinese proverbs are very wise.

But if you agree that he who plants a garden plants happiness, head to Eastern Garden, the new natural health center in Notting Hill, where you can tend your own physical, spiritual and emotional patch.

With 25 talented practitioners of Eastern therapies — including shiatsu, tui na, aromatherapy, and tai chi — there’s someone to solve any ache, pain, gripe or crisis. There’s even a life coach.

Therapies take place on handmade king-size futons; green tea and Japanese flute music ease the way.

Because if you can’t be wise, at least you can be well.

Eastern Garden, Portobello Clinic, 12 Raddington Road, W10 5TG (020 8962 9738 or easterngarden.co.uk). DailyCandy subscribers who book a treatment (£60) can take a friend for free until end of March.
