About Naturopathy- Foundational health + restorative therapies
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is a unique school of healing that harnesses the beneficial powers of Nature’s elements—water, air, sunlight, earth power, electricity, magnetism, exercise, rest, proper diet, various mechanical treatments, and mental and moral science.
While none of these alone can cure every disease-
the naturopath recommends the combination best adapted to the individual’s case.
Naturopathy is a platform for all healing- the all-inclusive Mother of Natural Therapy.
“Naturopathy is the science of nature, the biological way of right living, the natural way to cure…”
In Naturopathy, disease is viewed as the accumulation of toxins, known as Toxemia.
Ill health occurs when the body is exposed to toxins, whether naturally occurring or synthetic/environmental, leading to an overload that the cells cannot cope with.
Under normal conditions, the body is a self-sustaining organism, and the theory of health and disease is based on Nature itself.
Ill health results from the departure of healthful living- being out of harmony with Nature’s laws.
The degree to which you adhere to those laws directly correlates to the degree of the body’s inherent healing powers to restore itself to normal.
While prevention is viewed as the best “cure,” the actual “cure” comes from the body’s innate healing capabilities restoring itself to homeostasis.
I work only to identify the cause of the problem, eliminate toxin exposures, recommend substances to restore physiological function while balancing deficiencies and stimulate the body’s natural healing capabilities.
Physically- there are five core elements required for the cell to be healthy + recover from illness -
1. Proper nutrients from a whole food diet rich in vegetables
2. A toxin-free environment from both natural (i.e., mold) and unnatural substances (i.e., petrochemicals)
3. Proper rest
4. Good blood flow from physical activity throughout the day
5. Protection via herbs from microbes constantly present that erode and wear away cells.
What Naturopathic Consultations Accomplish -
Naturopathic consultations aim to gain insights into the foundational health + lifestyle habits
that may contribute to your current symptoms, imbalances, + illness across all body systems –
physical, mental-emotional, + energetic/spiritual.
Using naturopathic techniques, I determine your constitution,
allowing me to make informed recommendations of support based on it and your foundational health findings.
Support comes from air, sunshine, water, light, heat, electricity, energy, body manipulations (i.e., Chiropractic/Massage/CST), rest,
natural vital foods, organic vitamins, organic minerals, and herbs - combined with cleansing and elimination processes.
Each of these supports the body’s inherent healing processes.
Addressing the Foundations-
As we’ve discovered, healing involves more than just the physical.
Emotion, energy, and stress must be addressed.
Some foundational recommendations may seem overly simple, but the reasons behind them are much more complex.
Proper nutrition should stem from a variety of foods - to obtain the
various types of calcium and other minerals needed to sustain the human body.
"Eat the Rainbow!" Variety is the spice of life - it provides our body with the proper fuel for optimal functionality.
Proper hydration is essential for all bodily functions and produces more potential energy.
Movement aids in detoxification and lymphatic support.
Adequate sleep is crucial for your body’s ability to recover, repair, + detox.
Reduced sleep leaves the body acidic, leading to increased inflammation + physical dysfunction.
Supporting the body's 'BULLS' or detoxification pathways is essential for proper waste elimination.
This comes in the form of nutrient, herbal, and adjunctive therapy support for the
(B) bowel/colon/intestines, liver, gallbladder, (U) urinary- kidney and bladder, (L) lungs- detox Co2 and circulation of oxygen, (L) lymphatic fluid detoxification and white blood cells (S) skin detoxification—circulation for sweating.
Stressors come in many forms - perceived or not - from chemical and environmental to physical and emotional.
Chemicals in our food—such as preservatives, additives, artificial dyes, palm oil, BHT, high fructose corn syrup, 5G, and more — cause stress that should be avoided, detoxed, and balanced.
Environmental stressors can include emissions, herbicides, EMF/5G, and plastics in clothing and household goods to chemicals and pesticides used in our foods.
Emotional release techniques to support energy and stress balance are tapping, reiki, meditation, and visualization.
Bach flowers, homeopathy, and mood-stabilizing herbs are utilized for emotional support.
Lifestyle modifications include healthier overall personal choices, such as not smoking or drinking or creating a routine and meal prepping to lower stress and chaos.
Separating yourself from the negativity of news, social media, and people is equally important,
along with focusing on goals and gratitude!
INTEGRATED bio-field therapy- understanding ENergy + emotional balancing
The field of energy medicine has roots dating back two centuries - holding a significant place in our history.
The U.S. Healthcare system officially recognizes it as a subspecialty within Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a testament to its enduring relevance.
Energy medicine is not just a complement to other approaches to medical care but a powerful tool for self-care and self-help.
It empowers individuals to address physical illness, emotional or mental disorders, or strive for high-level wellness and peak performance.
The body heals by activating its natural healing energies and restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of balance.
Energy is defined as the capacity to work or the capacity to create change.
Forms of energy are-
- Kinetic
- Thermal (heat/metabolism)
- Mechanical (metabolic work in motion/move)
- Electrical (nerve impulses)
- Magnetic,
- Sound + Light Energy
- Potential energy
- Chemical (storage form)
- Elastic
- Nuclear
- Gravitational
Integrative Biofield Therapy, akin to Energy and/or Emotional Balancing- is a technique to unlock and support your body’s healing abilities.
It balances, opens, and supports your auric energy, chakras, meridians, and other energetic systems to promote health + well-being.
Energy, particularly electrical energy, flows through the body along nerve pathways known as Meridians.
These meridians form a complex and intricate network, linking limbs and organs through which electromagnetic signals (energy) travel.
This understanding, first observed thousands of years ago by Chinese healers who identified the 12 meridian pathways, has enlightened us about the potential for balance and health restoration through energy work.
Chakras are invisible centers of concentrated energy that constantly turn and radiate energy when strong.
While they are not physical entities in and of themselves, they strongly affect the body as they embody spiritual energy on a physical plane.
Suppose energy flow (life energy) is blocked.
In that case, energy in the organs + areas of the body where these energy wheels are located is diminished.
Diminished energy equals illness and sickness becoming potential. Without electrical energy in the body, communication to and from cells is interrupted.
understanding flower essences
What are Flower Essences-
Flower essences work on a deep cellular and subtle level, balancing the current vibration and emotional states.
Unfortunately, modern medicine misses the emotional component of all physical healing, which is necessary for whole healing to occur. If emotions are off, everything is off.
Flower essences are frequency - meant to be taken internally. They are safe and can be used by anyone of all ages - on or off medications.
History Behind Bach Flower Essences-
Dr. Edward Bach- a physician and homeopath- who was also a successful surgeon and bacteriologist- found that modern medicine fell short when it came to serving the whole person in areas of health and wellness.
He felt the medical society did little except try to suppress symptoms and burden sick people with heavy medical fees.
Sound familiar?
He noticed that the same treatment did not always cure the same disease, with each patient's response to their complaint varying based on their emotional state and reactions.
He found the patient's personality was more important in the healing process than the physical body's state.
Personality was the prime indicator of the treatment required - as patients with the same disease but different attitudes/perceptions and personalities healed differently with the same treatments.
He became convinced doctors were treating the disease- and not the patient – focusing too much on the physical body and not the patient as a whole- resulting in unsuccessful curing.
How Flower Essences Work-
Bach recognized that people could have a specific nature or personality (Type) while behaving a certain way in a temporary situation (Mood).
He strived to find substances that were natural and non-toxic to promote energetic/emotional balance and healing.
Thus, the discovery and creation of Flower Essences occurred!
Through a traditional Bach Flower Consultation combined with utilizing these various flower essences -
I aim to provide support by bringing balance and alignment to various 'Moods' - while supporting the fundamental personality or 'Type' of the individual present.
By focusing on the whole person and not just treating the symptoms, we avoid driving the issue deeper into the body to be expressed elsewhere.
Addressing emotions without connecting how they're expressed on the physical plane
only denies you the ability to understand your physical reflection and risks—past, present, and future.
a deeper look - How rife frequency therapy works
Rife frequency therapy is designed to support the destruction of pathogens, support detox systems, and transmit resonant healing frequencies.
To understand the 'killing' process, imagery is a helpful tool for painting a picture. There is an unsuspecting pathogen, minding its own business- making your life miserable- all the while buzzing along at its own natural frequency.
In a flash, it now vibrates with a much greater force.
Why?
Because I’ve just transmitted its natural frequency into your body- cracking the ‘frequency whip’ on that pathogen.
By adding two identical frequencies, we have significantly increased the energy in the targeted pathogens system.
The overlaying waveform transmitted via the Rife generators now controls how those conjoined energies behave.
Specific waveforms will cause electrical state changes that can damage, disable, or devitalize a pathogen
- so a pathogen can no longer reproduce, take in sustenance, or move- thus quickly dying.
When working with killing frequencies
having proper foundational health + utilizing restorative detox therapies supporting the BULLS (Bowels, Urinary, Lung, Lymph, Skin) detox pathways and cellular detox pathways is crucial.
When these aren’t functioning optimally and become overburdened with toxins, one can experience a ‘Herx’, aka the Herxheimer Reaction or Detox Reaction.
These include flu-like conditions, headaches, inflammation, digestive issues, and sweating.
(For more information on these, please see my Herx Reaction section, which explains them in depth.)
For Detoxification Support -
The repeated application of energies works to “bump” pollutants out of the cell and tissues to where they can enter the blood or lymph and be removed by the liver and kidneys. The frequencies work like a jackhammer, resulting in dislodgment and movement of materials of toxins to the body.
For Healing Support -
This process is entirely different and works on the principle of frequency entrainment.
To understand this, imagine two grandfather clocks against the same wall. Now, set their pendulums swinging out of sync with each other.
Within a few days, both pendulums will come back in perfect sync and remain until disturbed.
This is entrainment.
Taking the frequencies - for example, of a healthy liver - and transmitting them back into the body where they are lacking - within a few days’ frequency entrainment will occur, and the liver will start functioning better.
how PEMF Therapy works
We are bioenergetic beings, with every cell being like a battery providing energy for millions of ongoing processes 24/7.
Bodies are amazing factories of healing and regeneration (H + R). When a body faces injury that the H + R factory only repairs to 80%, it can plague the body with issues and pain.
Why does this happen?
There are many factors, but at a foundational level, the H + R factory didn't have enough energy to repair back to 100%!
PEMF is an outside energy source that infuses the body with the energy to heal and repair itself. It pumps healthy frequency back into the body, seeking low-vibration cells and plugging into them to recharge, push out toxins, and circulate nutrients.
It reminds the body of how to do what it's designed to do, with fully recharged cells functioning optimally.
PEMF is cumulative, with each session recharging the cells and accumulating until they hold their charge.
More + more, the body learns how to re-hold its' own frequency for health!
All disease + pain is an indicator of low cellular voltage.
Disease occurs when the body cannot make new healthy cells.
In trying to restore the body, one cannot use dead or diseased cells, making it a top priority for your body to create new healthy cells.
PEMF is an energy supplement that optimizes the self-healing and self-regulating functions of every cell it interacts with.
DC (direct currents) are generated by a copper coil and pulsed into the body via application accessories—across clothing and skin—crossing the cell exterior and shocking the structures within the cell.
No current of any kind contacts the body.
PEMF passes freely through living tissue to deliver cellular exercise- helping cell perform their many jobs better.
In its intelligence, the body may call attention to "hot spots" or areas of low voltage where it needs energy most.
This can present in various ways, such as assisting with muscle fatigue after exercise, supporting relaxation, increasing energy, and balancing the body's systems.
We are still determining what each body's response will be. Still, decades of research show the body utilizes PEMF to keep the H+R factory working optimally!
Muscle Response testing - HOW IT WORKS
The body has an electrical network or matrix within and surrounding it- consisting of pure energy.
Energy runs through the muscles in our bodies- so anything impacting your electrical field that doesn’t maintain or enhance your body’s energetic balance- will cause your muscles to “short circuit” or weaken.
Things that impact your electrical system are foods, thoughts, emotions, + other substances.
MRT is based on understanding reflex arcs within the nervous system and the energetic nature of the human body.
Reflex arcs are neurological and sensory mechanisms composed of nerve pathways that travel through the nervous system, controlling a reflex or immediate response to a particular stimulus.
Our bodies are like a “biocomputer”—
we process information in a binary way.
Neurons running the muscles can only fire or not fire—
lock or unlock.
A lock in the muscles indicates,
“Yes, I am in balance,”
while an unlock response communicates,
“No, I am unbalanced—there is too much stress for me to work properly.”
Using your muscles, we can identify what substances + emotions “weaken” or “strengthen” your body.
When the reflex being tested needs support, the body’s energy “localizes” to that area, and the muscle being tested loses strength.
