The Soil Association is today launching 2014's Organic September campaign - the UK's biggest celebration of all things organic, which takes place in a year which saw the organic market return to growth and scientific evidence showed nutritional differences in organic vegetables, fruit and cereals. Building on the success of the 2013 campaign, which saw a sales increase by 9% during September, this year's theme is once again Small Changes, Big Difference.

Water-to-Go is an easy-to-use, pocket water purification bottle you can use anywhere to turn tap, stream, river or rainwater into drinking water - and it is set to revolutionise the way we look at water when we are out on the go.

Natracare organic cotton wipes have received organic status from the Soil Association, making it easier for shoppers to distinguish the product's benefits from the synthetic equivalents.

In October 2012 we tried and tested the then new Air3 Pet after VAX launched their Air3 range of light, full-sized, multi-cyclonic upright vacuum cleaners.

Arthritis can be a very debilitating condition to which osteopathy may offer a very welcome relief from painful symptoms. Contrary to common misconceptions, osteopathy is not aggressive and does not always involve high velocity thrusts to ease joint restrictions. We asked Osteopath Nicholas Coysh his thoughts on the practise of treating arthritis with osteopathy.
