The study focused on four indicators of moisture or mould in the home, including mould odour, visible mould, visible moisture and history of water damage. (Environ Health Perspectives 2005)
Acupuncture in School
A school in Somerset is offering acupuncture to pupils identified as suffering from anxiety and stress, ADHD and problems controlling anger. The project, at a 900 pupil Stanchester Community Comprehensive School, is entirely voluntary. The pupils who are offered treatment almost always go for the needle option. |
