YOU SAID IT
CUSTOMER L VE
WORLD VEGAN MONTHNovember is world Vegan month and commemorates
the founding of the vegan society in November 1944. Join in a
community of people pledging to eat vegan for a week or the whole
month. First time vegan eaters are surprised at the array of
delicious food options food one doesnt usually think of adding to
the menu. Think beetroot hummus, nut butters and nut milk, sprouts
and micro herbs, scrambled tofu, vegan sausages, hash browns,
essene bread, roasted veggies, falafel and more. Log onto
http://www.veganoutreach.org for ideas.
VEGGIE POWERHats off to 18 year old Constantia Waldorf scholar
Deva Argue for fulfi lling her lifelong ambition of climbing Mount
Kilimanjaro. Deva has always followed a strict vegetarian diet that
excludes eggs but includes a small amount of diary like yoghurt and
chocolate.
Being a vegetarian doesnt mean subsisting on almonds but being
mindful about a balanced and healthy diet with vegetables that
contain protein. My personal favorites are broccoli, green peas,
artichokes and spinach - and of course, nuts, seeds and legumes. I
also eat soya and Frys products for protein. And of course, bananas
are the ultimate energy food perfect for hard work outs.
Ive never been tempted to eat meat. There are so many yummy
vegetarian meals like melanzane, Indian curries, Italian-style
pastas and Oriental style stir-frys. Supplements have also never
been necessary to maintain my energy levels or athletic ability.
According to registered nutritionist Caryn Davies, nutritional
health cant simply be justifi ed or guaranteed according to dietary
exclusions or inclusions. It is the overall balance of the diet
which is important, and a well-planned vegetarian diet can
certainly be nutritionally complete. As with any type of diet,
every body is literally quite different and every athlete will have
unique dietary needs.

WINNERS We are delighted to announce the lucky winners of the
Beaucience Skin Care Hampers Competition from the September Issue
of Wellness Magazine. Well done to Cynthia Dean and Reuben
Khan.
Tell us how you feel, what you like or dont like, or anything
else you would like to say about your experience of Wellness
Magazine or Wellness Warehouse. Wed just love to hear from you and
you might win a suprise prize. Email [email protected],
send us a tweet @wellnews or fi nd us on facebook
We would like to thank Leesette Turner for emailing us with her
feedback and have awarded her three free smoothies for her effort.
This is what she said.
My recent great Wellness experience:
I always buy a smoothie from Wembley but you never think about
the point at which you become a regular. Last week I popped into
the Wellness Caf at Wembley after a week in bed with flu, still
feeling awful and not really up to even choosing a juice. Yannik
was so professional - not only did he recognise me, and ask me how
I was but went on to recommend a juice (I said I wanted something
sour!) with loads of ginger. He insisted I taste it before I took
it away to check that the choice was correct! Brilliant personal
service. Even better when you feel awful and someone cares enough
to make the difference! And it really did...
WE TRIED ITIn pursuit of a summer ready body Rouxmia Bougas took
herself off to the Romney Park Hotel and Spa to try out a body
sculpting treatment called UChique. She reports.
Summer is creeping up and if you arent keen on going through a
detox or spending hours in a gym, this new and effortless
technology is for you. It is a brand new anti aging and body
sculpting treatment designed to make you look years younger and get
rid of cellulite. It uses a machine called the Alma Laser with
ultra sound and radio frequency to remove pigmentation and tighten
winter fl ab. It is the most relaxing and nicest feeling ever and,
as far as I am concerned, the most comfortable and effective way to
tone your body and get gorgeous. It targets areas with wrinkles,
pigmentation, sagging skin and helps move fat deposits and
cellulite. Eunice Grobler did my treatment and she was fabulous.
Trust me, you feel as though you could lie there all day. It has a
therapeutic heat massage effect. The results are immediately
visible and after just one session you can feel it on your body
especially if you target your butt, like I did. It is safe and
painless. A face treatment takes between 20 and 30 minutes and the
body can take up to an hour. It is affordable and very effective. I
would defi nitely go back for a few more sessions.
For more information call them on Tel: 021 439 4555

YOU SAID IT
CUSTOMER L VE
WORLD VEGAN MONTHNovember is world Vegan month and commemorates
the founding of the vegan society in November 1944. Join in a
community of people pledging to eat vegan for a week or the whole
month. First time vegan eaters are surprised at the array of
delicious food options food one doesnt usually think of adding to
the menu. Think beetroot hummus, nut butters and nut milk, sprouts
and micro herbs, scrambled tofu, vegan sausages, hash browns,
essene bread, roasted veggies, falafel and more. Log onto
http://www.veganoutreach.org for ideas.
VEGGIE POWERHats off to 18 year old Constantia Waldorf scholar
Deva Argue for fulfi lling her lifelong ambition of climbing Mount
Kilimanjaro. Deva has always followed a strict vegetarian diet that
excludes eggs but includes a small amount of diary like yoghurt and
chocolate.
Being a vegetarian doesnt mean subsisting on almonds but being
mindful about a balanced and healthy diet with vegetables that
contain protein. My personal favorites are broccoli, green peas,
artichokes and spinach - and of course, nuts, seeds and legumes. I
also eat soya and Frys products for protein. And of course, bananas
are the ultimate energy food perfect for hard work outs.
Ive never been tempted to eat meat. There are so many yummy
vegetarian meals like melanzane, Indian curries, Italian-style
pastas and Oriental style stir-frys. Supplements have also never
been necessary to maintain my energy levels or athletic ability.
According to registered nutritionist Caryn Davies, nutritional
health cant simply be justifi ed or guaranteed according to dietary
exclusions or inclusions. It is the overall balance of the diet
which is important, and a well-planned vegetarian diet can
certainly be nutritionally complete. As with any type of diet,
every body is literally quite different and every athlete will have
unique dietary needs.

WINNERS We are delighted to announce the lucky winners of the
Beaucience Skin Care Hampers Competition from the September Issue
of Wellness Magazine. Well done to Cynthia Dean and Reuben
Khan.
Tell us how you feel, what you like or dont like, or anything
else you would like to say about your experience of Wellness
Magazine or Wellness Warehouse. Wed just love to hear from you and
you might win a suprise prize. Email [email protected],
send us a tweet @wellnews or fi nd us on facebook
We would like to thank Leesette Turner for emailing us with her
feedback and have awarded her three free smoothies for her effort.
This is what she said.
My recent great Wellness experience:
I always buy a smoothie from Wembley but you never think about
the point at which you become a regular. Last week I popped into
the Wellness Caf at Wembley after a week in bed with flu, still
feeling awful and not really up to even choosing a juice. Yannik
was so professional - not only did he recognise me, and ask me how
I was but went on to recommend a juice (I said I wanted something
sour!) with loads of ginger. He insisted I taste it before I took
it away to check that the choice was correct! Brilliant personal
service. Even better when you feel awful and someone cares enough
to make the difference! And it really did...
WE TRIED ITIn pursuit of a summer ready body Rouxmia Bougas took
herself off to the Romney Park Hotel and Spa to try out a body
sculpting treatment called UChique. She reports.
Summer is creeping up and if you arent keen on going through a
detox or spending hours in a gym, this new and effortless
technology is for you. It is a brand new anti aging and body
sculpting treatment designed to make you look years younger and get
rid of cellulite. It uses a machine called the Alma Laser with
ultra sound and radio frequency to remove pigmentation and tighten
winter fl ab. It is the most relaxing and nicest feeling ever and,
as far as I am concerned, the most comfortable and effective way to
tone your body and get gorgeous. It targets areas with wrinkles,
pigmentation, sagging skin and helps move fat deposits and
cellulite. Eunice Grobler did my treatment and she was fabulous.
Trust me, you feel as though you could lie there all day. It has a
therapeutic heat massage effect. The results are immediately
visible and after just one session you can feel it on your body
especially if you target your butt, like I did. It is safe and
painless. A face treatment takes between 20 and 30 minutes and the
body can take up to an hour. It is affordable and very effective. I
would defi nitely go back for a few more sessions.
For more information call them on Tel: 021 439 4555

BE SKIN CANCER WISESouth Africa has the second highest recorded
rate of skin cancer. If you have any concerns about your skin, take
adequate precautions by visiting a dermatologist for a skin check.
This involves a quick and simple body scan to analyse moles, spots
or skin abnormalities. Skin cancer can be dealt with effectively
with early detection. We spoke to local dermatologist Dr Moodley
operating from the Christian Barnard Memorial Hospital in the city
centre for some advice. For a melanoma check on moles he recommends
following the ABCD rule. Melanoma may present as a change in an
existing mole but can also occur on normal skin. Any part of the
body, even parts of the body that are usually covered including the
feet need to be checked.
It is recommended you go for a check up if:A. your mole is
asymmetrical. B. there is irregularity in the border C. there is
colour variability (varying shades of brown, blue,black and pink)D.
the diameter is greater than 6 mm
If a spot develops and doesnt heal in three weeks, it needs to
be checked.
Dr Moodley is a dermatologist with a medical, surgical and
cosmetic dermatology practice He is Fellowship trained in Mohs
Micrographic Surgery, a state of the art treatment for skin cancer,
and has extensive experience in Dermatology having worked as a
specialist in the UK and South Africa. Contact him on 021 424 4352

Doryce has done so much for the aromatherapy industry and is
truly an inspiration. This is the story of the Aromatic Apothecary,
the union between two families and the delightful working
relationship and environment that has resulted.
After spending time studying and qualifying as a pharmacist,
Doryce was never really sold on the idea of dispensing a pill for
every ill and after ten years in hospital and retail pharmacy she
wanted something more. I sat on my bed one day and asked
God or the mystery out there. what do you want from my life?
Almost immediately the word aromatherapy came to mind. Her fi rst
fl irt with aromatherapy was in a book called How to Banish
Cellulite Forever. Instructions on how to make a bath or massage
oil with detoxifying essential oils, got her going. She went on a
course, started massaging from home and fell in love with making up
different recipes. On a whim she made bath oils to sell at a
market, she fi lled up medicine bottles with an anti-stress oil
recipe and they were a hit. The next week she doubled her quantity
and sold out again. Even husband Clive was roped into a market and
he too came back with an empty basket.
A BLEND OF TWO FAMILIES Many years ago when the kids were little
Clive and Doryce Sher had an angel sent to them in the form of a
domestic worker. Hilda looked after the house and their two sons
allowing them to go to work every day. When Hilda wasnt looking
after them, the boys pretty much grew up at markets between bottles
of fabulous smelling fragrances. At that stage, the Shers had no
idea Hildas extended family would become integral to the Aromatic
Apothecary business. They also didnt know their son would be
actively involved and it would grow into a thriving operation
employing 17 people, four agents and three part-time staff
supplying over 300 health shops and outlets with two of their own
retail kiosks.

Plant, bark and fl ower extracts have been scientifi cally

did you know?Aromatherapy includes both inhaling and absorption
of essential oils through topical application. It is believed the
inhalation of essential oils stimulates the part of the brain
connected to smell - the olfactory system; a signal is sent to the
limbic system of the brain that controls emotions and retrieves
learned memories. This causes chemicals to be released which make
the person feel relaxed, calm, or even stimulated.
My most favourite in-store department is the one fi lled with
bottles of aromatherapy. There is something so exotic, uplifting
and mood enhancing about these fl ower and plant oils. We are
particularly excited to feature Aromatic Apothecary spearheaded by
the amazing Doryce Sher, master of olfactory ingenuity who can mix
up a potion for almost any type of affl iction.

MEET THE TEAM Clive Sher oversees the marketing,
sales and personnel division. His marketing skills come from
both the pharmaceutical industry and the corporate world before he
joined his wife at Aromatic Apothecary. He is also a qualifi ed
massage therapist and has completed several counselling
courses.
Doryce Sher handles the fi nancial and product development
division and oversees production and public relations. After
working in pharmacy and being troubled by over use of prescription
and over the counter medicines she welcomed a different therapeutic
solution that was safe and pleasurable. Doryce has incredible
insight into aromatherapeutic products and their extensive benefi
ts.
Daniel Sher has added youthful passion and ideas to the
business, growing the brands image, driving it through social media
marketing and delving into the development of a new easy-to-use
online shopping site for Aromatic Apothecary.
Lumka Hildas daughter rapidly learnt how to blend and mix oils
professionally. Her attuned aroma nose is an advantageous skill in
the business.
Ndimphiwe Hildas son is the chief driver, he knows all the
retail outlets, can merchandise and educate suppliers on products

Pastel, deals with customers, couriers and more.
Siyanda Hildas grandchild, besides helping everyone he is
learning skills from Pastel, to manufacture to packing.
FROM MARKETS TO MARKETINGA humble start selling bottles of
aromatherapy at markets in 1992 led to formalizing the business and
trading from a barrow at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in
Cape Town. In 1998 Aromatic Apothecary opened the fi rst exclusive
aromatherapy shop in South Africa where the lure of aromas wafting
down the shopping aisles attracted numerous customers. The shop was
a huge success. These days Aromatic Apothecary is still at the V
& A trading from a kiosk. They also have a successful kiosk at
the Gateway shopping centre in Durban. Besides markets, Expos and
kiosks Aromatic Apothecary has an extensive wholesale business.
Growth along the way included opening and closing a few shops but
their core business is on expos and wholesale along with online
orders.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Immense help, training, encouragement and
career development has been a natural part of Aromatic Apothecarys
business ethic. After a fi re in Gugulethu burnt down the rented
shack Hilda was staying in, Clive drove to Gugulethu at 3am to help
out - inspiring the idea that Hilda and her children need their own
home. A few months later, Hilda bought a beautiful home in
Gugulethu with the help of a government subsidy, a gift from Clive
and Doryce, and a small bond which they paid off in fi ve years.
Doryce and Clive have helped their staff with interest free loans
enabling team members to own their own homes. They have supported
weddings, births, schooling and more. Lumka and her husband through
Aromatics assistance have built a Habitat for Humanity house. Their
staff is so much a part of their family. The Shers attribute the
success of their company to their amazing staff.
DORYCES FAVOURITE BLENDAromatic Apothecary produces a wide range
of products. There are numerous formulations, everything from pain
relief, sinus relief, muscle roll-ons, rub ins and spray-on to
products like HeadAcare, Scrubzit, Burngo, Close shave, Feet treaty
foot cream, room sprays, incense, diffuser oils, anti-bug, products
for children, for ageing, for relaxation and so much more. Doryces
personal favourite is a blend called Silent Moments. It has
chamomile, lavender, neroli and geranium. When I fi rst started
mixing oils I made up this mixture, put a few drops in my bath and
had one of the best sleeps I had ever had. It really worked
well
therapeutically. Besides that, the mix of the oils creates a new
aroma the concept of the whole is more than the sum of its parts,
just like the whole of aromatic (the people) has created more than
the sum of its parts.
OUR PHILOSOPHYAromatic Apothecary makes products that are
authentic and helpful in a world of quickfi x medications. Our
philosophy comes from the Dalai Lama Our job is to help people in a
pleasant manner and if it doesnt help them at least it wont harm
them.
WAKE UP & SMELL THE FLOWERS Everyone knows the huge feel
good factor in smelling a beautiful fl ower but aromatherapy goes
much further than that. Plant, bark and fl ower extracts have been
scientifi cally verifi ed as therapeutic aids. Even more, when used
correctly, they do no harm and bring great pleasure. There is
nothing like a long lavender or patchouli bath to relax and
de-stress. While most people think of aromatherapy oils as boosting
mood, they also work for specifi c ailments. Essential oils used in
aromatherapy have a different composition compared to other herbal
products because the distillation used in aromatherapy recovers the
lighter volatile molecules.
STAR PRODUCTKeep fragrance dispensing throughout your house with
this incredible Scentstation. There is no need to burn out candles,
you simply plug it in and it warms the bowl allowing the oils to
heat and waft through your house or offi ce space. Experiment with
it yourself. Find the aroma you like best, plug it in and see how
it uplifts your mood.
ESSENTIAL OILS When applied to the body, diluted in a carrier or
base oil (since essential oils are very concentrated) , the
essential oils are absorbed rapidly through the skin into the
tissues, muscles and are metabolised locally. Aromatherapists claim
there is a synergy between the body and aromatic oils as their
precursors are molecules made during photosynthesis in plants, they
are already in harmony with our bodies.

Edvige Antonia Albina Maino was born in Lusiana, a dozy hamlet
nestled against the verdurous slopes of the Italian lower Alps. Her
father Stefano, owned a building company while her mother Paolo ran
their modest household.
When Albina was about 9 years old, Stefano and Paolo moved the
family to Orbassano, a small village in Piedmont. The Mainos had
ambitions for their daughters, and enrolled them in a convent nine
miles away, in Giaveno. Albina chose an academic course and had
private lessons when needed. To Albina, this was a time of great
simplicity both at home and school. She is remembered as being
conscientious, curious, thoughtful and intelligent. When 18, Albina
and her eldest sister were sent to Cambridge to study English. I
suspect sister Anouchka was there to keep an eye on the beautiful
Albina.
This was the swinging sixties. The Beatles were turning young
woman into shrieking, possessed, twisting sisters. It was a time
when peace, freedom and protest were all in harmony with sex, drugs
and Rock n Roll. Across the pond, waves of anti-war protests were
sweeping through the USA. The nation was torn and punch-drunk, and
Rose Kennedy had just packed her black frock away when Bobby
Kennedy was shot. It would have been a time of great anxiety for
old Stefano, sitting in the quiet of the shadows of the Italian
Alps his daughters far away in the land of the Jack the Ripper and
the hideous Morris Minor.Albina found work in a Greek Restaurant
popular with students. For a simple girl from
Italys North, the buzz would have been intoxicating. Albina
would have relished the cobbled charm of her academic surroundings,
and been enchanted by the variety of cultures co-existing in the
womb of English academia. But one night everything changed when, as
clich would have it, a tall dark stranger walked into the
restaurant. The smitten young woman could not have imagined the fi
ne-boned man with the piercing gaze and lightning smile was her
ticket into a life of love, power and tragedy.
Rajiv Ratna Gandhi was the eldest son of Indira and Feroze
Gandhi. He was sent to London to complete his
