THE power of flowers is coming to the rescue of people all over Chard.

Treating problems from insomnia to stress, the flower essence dispensary, based at Chard Healthy Living Centre, has expanded its opening hours and is taking referrals from GPs.

Supported by Chard GP Dr Andrew Tresidder, the flower essence practitioners have also been working with the home-educated children at Clare House and with students at Holyrood Community School.

Opening hours at the Healthy Living Centre, in Boden Street, are Monday, Tuesday and Friday, noon-2pm and Thursday 10am-1pm. For more information, call Beth Luck on 01460-30715 or the Healthy Living Centre on 01460-239253.
