Lagan’s is one of the few pharmacies in New Zealand that have an integrative pharmacist, Raewyn, who is a qualified natural health practitioner.
The benefit to you of having this kind of knowledge when wanting a more natural or holistic treatment enables you to get the best help when it comes to your own needs.
When purchasing your natural medicines at Lagan’s we can guide you to the most effective solutions for you that, most importantly, help improve the underlying issue you have and not just treat the symptoms. We ensure you get the correct product and dose that is safe for you. We check interactions with any prescribed medications you are taking and your medical conditions.
In our consultations we often hear customers say they have wasted money on products they have purchased elsewhere that didn’t help them and so often these products make no sense to us for the customer’s condition. The best marketing or the lowest price of a product does not always mean the best value for you and your needs. We have a quality range of products including practitioner only supplements.
In our Wellness Clinic you can also book an appointment with Raewyn, in one of our private consult rooms, where she can assess your condition and put a bespoke package together for you based on your personal needs and can discuss the evidence based science with you.
A ban on the use of residential sprinklers and irrigation systems will take effect in Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Porirua from tomorrow, Friday 14 February.
Hi neighbours,

Water is available for residents impacted by this outage to collect outside 53 Severn Street.
The number of properties in Severn Street affected by the water outage has been reduced from 250 properties to 70 (between 15-77 Severn Street).

However, those left without water to their homes will have another significant wait until service can be restored – the estimated time of repair is at least 8 hours.
Two nights in a row without water is unacceptable and very disruptive. We’re sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused and understand that it’s just not on.
Replacing the aged water pipe is currently scheduled to begin in March 2020; we’re looking into what can be done to speed the process up.
Hi Neighbour,
Windows' catches are some of the most well used and abused moving parts of any house and therefore most likely to fail.
If you have any loose, wobbly or broken window catch around the house, show them some TLC this Valentine's week and book a visit with Exceed!

It's been a mixed summer so far for New Zealand. Much of the country has seen record breaking temperatures, drought-conditions and scrub fires. But in recent days the West Coast and Southland have experienced heavy rains, flooding, evacuations and closed roads. Our thoughts are with affected.

But in recent days the West Coast and Southland have experienced heavy rains, flooding, evacuations and closed roads. Our thoughts are with affected.
Our skies have been coloured by smoke blown over from the Australian bushfires, meanwhile Wellingtonians are just stoked if they get to see the sun.
How has your summer been?

These services will have the letter ‘a’ at the end of the route number and will be provided by Mana Coach Services so the buses will look different to the usual Metlink buses which operate this route.
These trips won’t be visible on the RTI or our Metlink website timetable until 8 March, so please see the Service Update for the full list of services. www.metlink.org.nz...
