HERBAL MEDICINE

Herbal medicine is the oldest form of medicine. From ancient times plants have been recognised for their healing properties and used very effectively to heal all forms of disease. All ancient civilizations from the earliest times including the Sumerians through Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome and of course the Monastic Herb Gardens of the Middle Ages; all recognised the value and efficacy of Herbs for healing. The modern trend to denigrate and ridicule herbs and those who practice this ancient art is both ridiculous and hypocritical.

Pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in having people believe that plants have no healing properties, yet these same companies expend $billions searching Tropical Rain forests to discover plants that have healing properties in order to isolate these properties and make a synthetic version that they can patent and therefore make vast fortunes from. This search for new plants is urgent in view of the rapidly diminishing natural environments as forests are destroyed and wilderness areas torn up in urban development.

Drug companies know that plants have powerful healing qualities; they just dont want you to believe this. Drugs can be patented and sold at vastly inflated prices but wild plants cannot.

Why Herbs Do Not Have Adverse Side Effects

Your body sees herbs as food and therefore you are able to extract what your body needs and discard the rest. The same cannot be said for chemical drugs. Your body was not created/evolved to deal with chemicals. Simple chemicals are damaging to your body, complex plants are supportive of your body truly healing agents.

An Herbalist seeks to determine what causes the disharmony in your body that we call disease and after discovering the cause of the disharmony the cause of the disease - choose the appropriate herb or nutrient to heal that cause and as a direct result cause healing.

Did you know that the World Health Authority (WHO a part of the UN) has stated that the vast majority of mankind relies on Herbal Medicine and that this form of healing provides a low cost and very effective means to treat disease and that this practice should be encouraged.

NUTRITION

Nutrition is the most neglected of the Health Sciences. Why is it important? Simply stated - without good nutrition no health treatment can possibly work.

The sages of old all knew and taught that Nutrition and diet were the cornerstone of good health but modern medicine thinks that all you have to do is give someone an artificial chemical and that will fix everything, how dumb can you get? Living a lifestyle and eating a diet that produce ill health and then taking a drug to fix that illness without changing the cause is called magic, and we all know that magic is only found in stories and movies, not real life.

You can't medicate yourself out of a problem that you ate your way into. Changing diet is the first step to wellness.

An ancient Chinese proverb says, He (or she) who takes medicine and neglects diet wastes the time of the physician. Hippocrates, the so called Father of Modern Medicine said; Let thy food be they medicine and they medicine be thy food and that wisdom was from over 2000 years ago.

If you want to become healthy, be truly healthy and stay healthy then good Nutrition must be a vital part of your health treatment.

At Abundant Life & Health we recognise the value of Nutrition and all our Practitioners are trained in good Nutrition. We also have a Specialist Nutritionist to ensure the very best Nutrition advice for our clients.

Our Nutritionist can design a Nutrition profile and program for you that fits both your health needs and your lifestyle goals. If fitness is important to you then you need good nutrition advice. If wellness is important to you then you need good nutrition advice, if you are seeking to have a baby both potential parents (and your developing baby) need good nutrition advice; if you want to live a long and enjoyable life you need good nutrition advice.

If you have a major or life threatening illness you need good nutrition advice more than anyone else. Dont waste time, whatever other treatment you decide on get the most important treatment first good nutrition. Nutrition gives your body the tools and resources to start and complete the healing process and build healthy cells.

You cannot gain or re-gain good health without good nutrition. No medical or surgical procedure can possibly be effective without good nutrition advice that is followed; all health conditions can be resolved with good nutrition. This is a bold statement but it is true. You have inbuilt healing abilities, we all have, but you need the resources to accomplish this. Nutrition is the only thing that provides these resources. Treat the cause not the symptom is our motto and the treating starts with good nutrition.

ALLERGY TESTING

Do you experience pain or discomfort or bloating after eating? Have you ever wondered if you were allergic to any particular food? Here at Abundant Life & Health we can do a simple blood test that gives the answer to these questions.

47 different foods or food groups are quickly tested for and you can receive the answer usually the same or next day.

Naturally discovering that you are sensitive to, reacting to or allergic to a food is only part of the problem. Food sensitivities or allergies indicate that there is something wrong with your digestive system. So while removing the food that is causing the problem will help in the short term, fixing the digestive issue that allows this problem to exist is the next step in the treatment.

After all, why should you be deprived of enjoying any food if you can be healed so that you can enjoy it?

OTHER TESTING & ANALYSIS SERVICES

The clinic now also offers:

• Test for up to 47 food or food group allergies
• Heavy Metal Test
• Comprehensive Hair analysis
• Candida test
• Celiac test

With results available same day (except for Hair analysis).

Make an appointment with us today and start to realise your goal of achieving your optimal level of health and vitality, utilising natural remedies that treat your problem holistically.
