Iridology works on the theory that the eye, particularly the iris, represents a ‘map’ of the entire body, thus revealing to the practitioner any areas of weakness or past injury.
Magnetic Therapy is the use of magnets to aid healing by influencing the body’s natural bioelectrical currents. It works on the premise that the human body cells have a magnetic force.
Buteyko is a series of breathing techniques that works according to the principle that certain conditions are caused or, at the very least, aggravated by ‘over-breathing’.
Naturopathy works along the principle that the body can heal itself. Treatment includes diet, herbal preparations, exercise, massage, and hydrotherapy, along with many other disciplines.
Massage is a form of touch that enables the body to relax, thus inducing a feeling of well-being. More vigorous forms of massage can free up tense muscles and help with stiff joints. Sometimes deep-seated emotions are released during a massage.
Kirlian photography works on the principle that the body has an energy field that can be ‘photographed’, and that any irregularities in the energy field recorded by this technique denote potential health hazards.
