Robyn: "after 15 years of severe fatigue and many doctors and naturopaths, my fatigue is very mild now, my digestion returning to normal, my aches and pains are minimal. The Health Lectures and Cooking Demonstrations have helped me cater for all my food sensitivities, which has renewed my interest in and love of food and eating." |
Tony: "The best thing to happen to me in my life was to come to Highwood Health. I learnt how to start to enjoy my life and learn to eat the great foods for my well being. I have never felt better in my life..." |
Amidst majestic mountains, lofty trees and nestling on the Great Dividing Range is Highwood Health Retreat, 102 acres of beautiful gardens, lawns, forests, mountain-streams and trails of unsurpassed sanctuary for resting, relaxation and restoration.
We are a Natural Health Retreat, dedicated in restoring and maintaining your health. Natural treatments at Highwood Health are used wherever possible. However, guests on medications can relax too as our doctor can monitor and advise on drugs and communicate with your General Practitioner or Specialist when needed. He can also order Medicare billed blood tests to check your vitamins, minerals, cholesterol and other things.
A qualified Australian medical practitioner will consult with you shortly after your arrival at Highwood and will tailor your programme to suit your needs. This may include steam sauna, massage, clay wraps, far-infrared therapy, supplements, lymphatic drainage, fever baths, aromatic oil therapy, herbal teas, juice fasting, enema, a special diet, an exercise programme, etc. Our doctor is available to discuss your needs or consult with you during your entire stay and is on call in case of emergency. He will carefully monitor your progress during your stay and seek to investigate the causes of any of your ailments that are still poorly understood.
Our health treatment programmes of four, eleven or eighteen days focus on such things as:
Nature is the effectual restorer and possesses curative powers. All intelligent men and women can bring about great physical improvement when they understand the true philosophy of health.
Our aim is to guide you towards a life of physical, mental and spiritual healing. We want to offer quality, natural health care at a price affordable for all. We offer a special rate for pensioners and health-care card holders.
