The Natural Solutions Clinic Healing Philosophy
At The Natural Solutions Clinic, I have a core philospohy as to how to instigate healing and return anyone to a state of lasting vibrant health. It is based on my own three stage approach to lasting wellness. The three stages involved are:
Cleansing
Rebuilding
Supporting
These three elements are applied for the following reasons:
Cleansing - This doesnt always (although often does) mean detoxification, the cleansing stage of treatment referrs to our first port of call on the therapeutic journey, and that is halting all influences that are currently making us sick and wearing us down. This may indeed mean that a detoxification programme is required, in order to remove the toxic bombardment that the body is facing and is pushing all systems to their limit. Conversely, this could refer to the removal of habits, thought patterns, lifestyle elements, stressors etc, that are causing our bodies to move in to a state of disrepair. Once these factors have been removed, we can then move onto the next stage which is....
Rebuilding - This stage of treatment is focused upon repairing the damage that has been inflicted upon the body, and rebuilding it to a state of youthful vibrance and vigourous health. This stage of treatment may involve herbal prescriptions to rebalance and restore organs or systems. It may involve nutritional supplementation and dietary changes, or may involve lifestyle changes and even referall to other therapies to support the overall programme.
Supporting - When we have reached a state where our bodies have been restored to a considerable state of health, and much of the negative consequences of past influences have subsided, it is then time to support and maintain this new state of health. This final element of your treatment programme will essentially be aneducational element. It will be a lifestyle, and dietary programme, and if there are any specific system weaknesses, a supportive herbal tonic plan to continue the healing process and maintain this new found level of health.
The three most important tools in my treatment plans are:

At any given moment, our bodies are striving towards one single goal - the maintenance of perfect health. When you cut open your finger, what happens? After a few days it is well on the way to being mended. To cut a long story short, the body is more than capable of healing itself if given the right circumstances. In today's modern world, there are many new and obscure challenges for our body's, which can sometimes get in the way of its own inherent healing abilities. One of the key areas of treatment at 'The Natural Solutions Clinic' is looking at elements of our lifestyles that are essentially 'keeping us sick'. From this we can set goals to set you on your way to complete healing. This tool is a core element in all stages of my programme.
Environment - Both our external and internal environments can prevent us from sufficiently maintaining good health. Environmental factors that can cause problems include being over exposed to pollutants, cigarette smoke, poor diet, and over indulgance of alcohol. Give the body the correct environment and it can do the rest itself!
Stress - This is something that has become somewhat of a norm in our fast paced modern lives. In some circumstances (such as being faced with danger) the stress response can be vital to our survival. However, when the trials and tribulations of day to day life leads us to be permanently in this state, much havoc is unleashed in almost all of our body systems. Our blood pressure increases, our digestive function is diminished, our muscles become tense, energy is used much faster, and our immune system become notably supressed. Stress management is a vital element to my treatments, and I often work on a multitude of levels to manage it (relaxation techniques, herbal medicines, etc).
