BOWEN THERAPY
"Heart and Hands"
Sometimes called The Bowen Technique or Bowtech, Bowen Therapy originated from one man Mr. Tom Bowen (1903-1982) who devoted a lifetime to developing his gentle and innovative approach to re-balancing the body, in Geelong, Australia.
The Webb Report of 1975 an Australian Government survey on natural therapies, revealed him to be treating some 13,000 patients a year. 90% of these were first or second treatments, and this is a feature of the technique that patients usually need very few sessions to deal with their problem.
Bowen is a dynamic, remedial body technique, which is extremely gentle and very relaxing. It empowers the body's own healing resources achieving balance and harmony, resulting in fast and lasting relief from pain and discomfort.
Bowen is an all embracing vibrational energy therapy, safe to use on anyone, newborns to the elderly, with any condition from sports injuries to chronic or organic complaints.
Nature knows how to repair itself. The philosophy of the therapy is that each part of the human body relates with every other part and with the whole in order to fulfil its function and maintain a general harmony. Every tissue, each tiny cell, has influence on every other part of the body. This is not a new concept but one that we are rarely aware of. Each part knows its function and Bowen simply empowers it to perform that role. For example, pressure applied at the origin and insertion of the muscle, combined with gentle pressure over the 'belly' of that muscle will relax moderate contraction simply and effectively.
With many therapies a complaint is diagnosed and then treated, Bowen is non-diagnostic. Bowen allows the body to restore and integrate its own harmonies. It is therefore completely safe for all conditions presented. It is the key that rewinds and gives direction to the main-spring. Eighty per cent of Bowen patients respond within two treatments administered one week apart to achieve recovery. Many respond after only one session. In many cases, such as Arthritis or Multiple Sclerosis, significant structural damage already exists. In these conditions, Bowen can offer a safe, drug free management of the associated pain and discomfort.
As Bowen produces an integrated body response it consequently improves circulation, lymphatic and venous drainage, assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins, joint mobility, normalisation of cellular physiology and tissue integrity.
Conditions that have responded well include:
* frozen shoulders
* stress disorders
* whiplash
* sports injuries (chronic and acute)
* accident injuries (chronic and acute)
* neck and head tension
* strokes
* musculo-skeletal pain and imbalance
* bed wetting
* acute and chronic fatigue
* a general feeling of 'not being quite right'
* organic complaints-respiratory-digestive-menstrual-hormonal
BOWEN BALANCES THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL PLANES.
ITS REJUVENATING EFFECT EMPOWERS THE QUALITY OF OUR LIFES.

COLON
HYDROTHERAPY
The techniques used in Colon Hydrotherapy were first recorded in 1500 BC and have been used in traditional and naturopathic medicine since that time. Using sterilised equitment, filtered water, at a carefully regulated temperature is introduced under gentle gravitational pressure, through the rectum into the colon. Special massage techniques soften and cleanse the colon of faecal matter and old compacted deposits which are piped away with the waste water. Since it is a closed process, there is no smell or external contact with the water. The patient is well covered and their modesty respected at all times.
Colon Hydrotherapy can help constipation, diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, mucus colitis, colitis, spastic colon, diverticulitis, liver sluggishness, halitosis, skin problems (acne, eczema and psoriasis), abdominal bloating, allergies, fatigue, some forms of depression and lethargy.
. It is also of benefit prior to and following barium enemas and during
therapeutic cleanses, fasting and detox courses. Some complex conditions such as Crohn's disease, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and intestinal candida are helped by the detoxing effect of Colon Hydrotherapy. It is more effective than an enema as the whole colon is treated and the water is not purposely retained.
To compliment her other therapies along with her on going interest in
the skin and general detoxification Teresa has gained a qualification in
Colon Hydrotherapy and is now the only accredited practitioner on the
Isle of Wight.

DE-TOX / CLEANSE PROGRAMS
PRACTITIONER SUPPORTED
Did you know that the LUNGS filter approximately 16 pints of blood per minute? They are comparable with an air - conditioning unit
filtering out poisonous environmental fumes. In fact, our entire BLOOD content should be filtered of carbons and revitalised with oxygen every 4 seconds!!!
The LIVER de-toxifies over a litre of blood every minute!
The KIDNEYS handle about 175 litres (38.5 gallons) per day of filtrate, 1.7 litres (approx 3 pints) of which are flushed into the bladder and the remainder reabsorbed into the blood!
Recent provings of Quantum Physics with DNA and other finite, scientific discoveries have confirmed that WE PRODUCE OVER SIX MILLION NEW CELLS PER HOUR, (some lasting 7 years, some only until tomorrow)
Detoxification is a process of cleansing, nourishing, and resting the body. It is an ancient concept that appears as part of many healthcare systems around the world. As a treatment detoxification is more important than ever today, surrounded as we are by high levels of toxic exposure. Environmental pollution from industrial waste, a build up of metabolic poisons due to nutritional deficiencies, and antibiotic-induced abnormal bacteria in the gut. All this adds to increased toxicity and a decrease in our health.
TREATMENTS
All of the Detox /Cleanse programs offered are personalised. Starting with a questionnaire, an in depth consultation and a highly individualised Iris Analysis to determine your constitutional type. The personalised prescription takes into account that emotional and mental, as well as internal and external pollutants need expelling.
Most programs are 7 - 14 days depending on the individual. Within your detox program you and your practitioner will allocate specific treats daily for your personal, mental/emotional and spiritual refreshment., aligned with the specifics for your Physical De-Toxification, bringing it all together , at every level for TOTAL REVITALISATION…………………

IRIDOLOGY
Iridology is a safe, painless, non-intrusive form of analysis via the study of the iris, (the coloured part of the eye), using magnification, to ascertain inherited genetic weaknesses (and strengths) and tendencies towards certain organ/system dysfunctions. Each part of the iris relates to a particular part of the body, and is as unique to the individual as a fingerprint.
The iris is made up of connective tissue, containing approximately 28,000 nerve endings; all of these are connected to the brain. In this way, the brain receives continual information regarding organ function and records these messages in iris markings. These genetic markings, passed from parent to child, give an overall blueprint of the constitution and can point out weaknesses often several years before symptoms or discomfort become apparent. In this way the root cause of illness can be more accurately analysed and the appropriate treatment easier to ascertain.
There are three main constitutional types:
Lymphatic = blue, blue green, grey
Haematogenic = dark brown
Mixed Biliary = hazel
These basic groups are broken down into sub-groups, before the iris is studied more closely for organ markings. Many illnesses are merely symptoms of organ dysfunction, i.e. headaches, dizziness, shakiness and itching could all be a result of liver dysfunction.
Iridology is not a new science. Hypocrates and Philostatus used Iridology, and it was taught at the medical school of Salerno. Records of Iris markings painted onto stone slabs were left by the Babylonians in 1000 BC. During the 17th, 18th,
and 19th centuries, research and records were kept mostly by medical practitioners.
Iridology is part of the curriculum in medical schools in Moscow, the Bobigy Faculty of Medicine at the University of Paris Nord and various Greek and Egyptian medical schools. World-wide there is an enormous amount of research being carried out utilising surgery, X-rays, scanning and chemical analysis and post mortems, involving millions of case histories.

Iridology is not offered separately, but as part of the consultation for most of the other treatments booked, especially
the personalised
detox/cleanses.

NUTRITIONAL ADVICE
The western diet of manufactured and 'fast' foods lacking in natural enzymes, the overall use of pesticides and fertilisers in the soil, antibiotics in animal feed and during rearing of them, chemicals in drinking water and the pollution of the air we breathe, can all overtax the body to the extent that supplements become necessary.
Nutritional advice is not offered as a separate therapy, but as part of the consultation for most of the other treatments booked. Appropriate diet and supplementation, taking into account current lifestyle along with any physical or emotional problems will then be discussed. This may include a urine test if appropriate and a blood pressure check.
