Iridology Special

Iridology is a diagnostic tool that can be used to provide an assessment of a patient’s constitutional strengths and weaknesses. The classification system was developed by the German physician Josef Deck and uses a chart prepared by Bernard Jensen. Deck’s system has 10 individual constitutional types.

The classification of the patient into one of these  types sets limits which help harmonise lifestyle factors as well as tailor treatment for specific conditions. An iridology profile can be combined with D’Adamo’s blood type system to further assist the patient regain health, or simply to improve energy levels and vitality. Available Saturdays at Botanika Medicines Malvern.

Food Sensitivity Testing

Food sensitivity reactions are common and often lie at the heart of general gastro-intestinal symptoms, fatigue and erratic moods. We can test for them using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELIZA) or whole blood tests (ALCAT).

The Food Detective: this is a test for IgG antibodies that requires just a drop of the patient’s blood. It is done in clinic and the results are available in about 40 minutes. This test gives a scale of immune system reactivity to 48 common foods, including cereals, nuts & beans, meats, fish, shellfish, vegetables, fruit, egg, dairy, garlic, ginger, mushroom, yeast and tea.
