Asthma

Homeopathy dates back about 200 years ago when it was first invented in Germany. It is a system of traditional medicine which addresses the whole person: the physical, the mental and the emotional. It treats each patient individually with highly diluted natural substances with the aim of triggering the body’s natural self-healing abilities. Homeopathy not only restores the balance of your prevailing health condition, but also heals the underlying mental or emotional toll you might be suffering from.

A double-blinded, placebo-controlled study from the University of Glasgow, Europe’s largest medical school, showed that over 80 percent of the 24 asthma patients improved significantly after they were given homeopathic remedies.

How does a homeopathy consultation at Balance Health look like?

1.  First consultation: In-depth interview about medical report, symptoms, personality, and lifestyle factors (1-2 hours)
2.  Analysis: evaluating body, mind and emotions
3. Medical application: prescribing customized remedies (within the first consultation or the day after)
4. Follow-up Consultation: observing the health condition and healing process (5-7 days later)

Functional medicine is about getting to the root cause of a disease or dysfunction, by identifying the triggers, imbalances, pathogenic influences and toxicities. It combines the consultative expertise together with the appropriate diagnostic procedures, like laboratory tests, to help the patient regain balance, wellness and vitality. Diet, detoxication and supplementation are the key tools to correct any imbalance.

The treatment with our functional medicine practitioner and holistic nutritionist Miles Price is built up in three evaluation steps:
1. Conducting a thorough health, family history, lifestyle and diet evaluation
2. Evaluating blood tests and laboratory results
3. Prescribing specific dietary modifications, with supplemental detoxification support if needed

The benefits of this holistic approach combined with clinical support result in more energy, vitality, and elimination of symptoms.

Acupuncture can have a remarkable effect in relieving acute asthma symptoms. Many patients experience immediate relief and improvement after their first treatment, feeling that their airway blockage simply disappeared. Acupuncture helps to release naturally tensioned muscles and blockades without side-effects that are very common with conventional treatment methods such as inhalers. Acupuncture points for “calming the spirit” are widely used as the stimulation of those help to relax the parasympathetic nervous system and to relieve both physical and emotional stress. In combination with Chinese medicine, herbs can strengthen your lungs and immune system and reduces the likelihood of a return of an upcoming asthma attack. In total, patients not only experience a physical release from bronchial spasms, but also an emotional release from the fear of suffocation.

According to the British Acupuncture Council acupuncture is beneficial because of the following:
1. Reduces patient’s use of medication
2. Reduces inflammation
3. Improves patient’s subjective experience of their symptoms
4. Improves immunological parameters

The Yuen Method has its roots in ancient Chinese Shaolin temples and outshines by its simplicity as it can be applied anywhere and anytime without the necessity to physically touch the patient. More than half of our patients have never been physically present as a Skype or Face time call is absolutely sufficient. It is an energetic principle that looks at the human experience in its core components of body, mind and spirit. It believes that you are either ”strong or weak” to any given subject matter, person or situation. The aim of the Yuen Method is to find this weakness, strengthen it and finally delete it.

Our practitioner Victor Geronimo works to make sure that all levels of consciousness are harmonious. It works to remove energy blockages and help you to overcome any given problem - even your long lasting asthma.
