IRIDOLOGY

It provides information from up to three generations back including genetic weaknesses/strengths, inflammation and toxicity. This information can help to provide clues into current health problems as well as potential future health issues.

HERBAL MEDICINE

Herbal medicine is a system which uses medicines made exclusively from plants to treat a range of conditions. The therapeutic activity of a plant is due to its complex chemical nature with different parts of the plant providing certain therapeutic effects. Herbal medicines come in a range of forms including liquid extract, creams, tablets and teas.

FOOD AS MEDICINE

Everything you eat has an effect on your body and can be used to either promote or decrease health. Many foods have wonderful therapeutic actions which can be used to restore health and wellbeing.
