One of the oldest forms of natural medicine. Nature has provided a vast variety of plants that can be used to treat health problems. I use both western and chinese herbal medicines. These are usually administered in a herbal tonic, but sometimes in tablet form.
HOMOEOPATHY
A system of medicine developed by German physician and chemist, Samuel Hahneman. The principle is the theory of "like cures like". Symptoms that a substance can cause in a healthy body can be used to treat the same symptoms in an unhealthy body. One example is onion juice - botanically Allium Ceppa. It can cause a runny nose, watery eyes etc, so onion juice may be used homeopathically to treat symptoms of the common cold. Homeopathic medicine is completely safe, with no side effects, no interaction with other medications and easy to take. So it is an excellent treatment for everyone including, children, pregnant women and the elderly.
NUTRITION - See Your Health IRIDOLOGY
The study of the Iris. An alternative medicine technique that examines the characteristics of the iris to obtain information about a patients systemic health. Areas of the iris correspond to areas of the body, and these areas can be seen to be overactive, under-active, inflamed, or in distress. It not intended to be used for diagnosis alone, or as a method of treatment but is used as one of the methods to help assess the patient in order to achieve a more accurate diagnosis.
MASSAGE
Swedish massage restores, rehabilitates and revitalizes your body. It also relaxes your mind, lowers stress levels, increases circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system. So it is an excellent treatment for stress, poor circulation, headaches, toxification and fluid retention. Remedial massage is used when a more specific therapeutic effect is required. Deep muscle and trigger point therapy is used to relieve tense and knotted muscles. This can help with back pain, neck pain, headaches, a frozen shoulder or simply to relieve overworked sore muscles from overuse such as after the gym or gardening.
