Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine is used to promote the body’s remarkable self -healing abilities, prevent disease, enhance vitality, and improve overall health. Herbal medicine has evolved over the years to include both modern and traditional approaches to formulas and preparations. The use of Herbal Medicine is now evidence-based medicine and in Australia, Herbal supplements are approved by the Government Therapeutic Goods Commission,
At the clinic, Encapsulated formulas are prescribed based on your individual diagnosis and condition.
NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
Nutritional Therapy is at the foundation of health as we are what we eat and think, Nutritional Therapy looks at the individual needs of the person and their constitution and formulates plans for strengthening the body’s nutritional needs for treating various disorders. Hippocrates was the first physician to say – may food be thy medicine and medicine thy food. This is true today as it was of old. A good diet is the foundation of health through all stages of life.
Medical Pulse Diagnosis
The workings of the body and its functions are reflected in the pulse which is felt at the wrist. Pulse diagnosis has been practiced in the Orient for thousands of years and may be considered the first traditional way of determining body organ functionality. Each pulse position relates to a body organ and the overall pulse quality can relate to body metabolism. The pulse diagnostician feels for strength or weakness, depth, force, and width of the pulse that can reflect the balance of that organ or tissue. MPD is a modernized version of these ancient practices and is a great advancement in determining imbalances in the body.
