What can I expect from my appointment?
As well as taking a thorough case history, your naturopath will be observing
physical signs and performing an electrodermal screen.
Your treatment will be completely individualised, and may comprise homœopathic,
herbal or nutritional remedies, as well as dietary and lifestyle advice.
What is Electrodermal Screening?
The system used at our centre is known as a Bioscan. It is a non-invasive way of measuring electron movement along pathways in the body known as meridians.
This screen requires you to hold a brass electrode in one hand; this is the source of a minute electrical current (5 volts). Your practitioner will place a blunt pencil-shaped probe at a number of points on the hands and feet, measuring the resistance of the body to the current from those various points.
Points of increased or decreased resistance indicate areas of weakness or inflammation. When these are encountered, your practitioner will use her knowledge of human physiology, and the actions of herbs, homœopathics and nutrients to reestablish balance.
As well as providing you with a treatment, we strive to send clients away with an understanding of the various influences on their health, so they can ultimately become responsible for their own health and healing.
Your practitioner will look at reactions to chemicals, pesticides, solvents, bacteria, viruses, parasites, heavy metals, dental materials, phenolics, pollens, moulds and other toxins.
Bioscan can also be used for evaluating vitamin and mineral absorption, and non invasive food sensitivity testing.
Electrodermal screening devices are listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.
