Tracy Breuning - Natural Nutritionist - Your Consultation

During your initial consultation we will follow the ‘three stages approach’ looking at diet, techniques and supplements.

1. Diet:

The aim of looking at diet is to reduce any challenge that there currently is to the body. To switch off the dehydration alert in terms of oil and water to hold the hydration needed for each cell in the body.

We aim to assist the body in doing its natural cellular cleanse and thus reduce toxic load.

When looking at diet we are aiming to bring our bodies more in line with the seasons. Eating seasonally matches the natural energy of the time. In the summer foods grow faster and there is a lot of colour around. As Autumn comes we see that the vegetables are getting starchier and there are more grains. In the Winter the vegetables grow underground matching the darker more contemplative season.

2. Techniques:

We may suggest the use of gentle naturopathic techniques in order to achieve balance in any systems of the body which are struggling. An unhealthy body is not functioning at optimum and these techniques are employed to ensure that any toxicity is leaving the body by an appropriate route and not backing up to another system and creating further problems. We are working with the body’s natural detoxification process.

These techniques vary according to each case and at the speed they wish to work on themselves. Children in particular respond well to the non invasive techniques. These should only be undertaken under supervision from a practitioner.

Out of the body

If the detoxification process is impaired then the toxins can get blocked at any stage and we need to give some support.

 

The Lymph:
Toxins often show here as swollen glands and sore throats. We can assist this with techniques such as Skin Brushing and Hot and Cold Showers/Baths aimed at thinning the lymph.

The Skin:
We may use the skin to draw out toxicity. Epsom Salt baths may be suggested.

The Liver:
This is usually the first place to show congestion. The liver is only 1.5kg in weight but, it is the activity centre for chemical processing. All of our systemic blood enters into it for detoxing. It is also a storage site for essential minerals and vitamins. It is able to regenerate up to 90%. A technique that we would use, where relevant, to support the liver is Castor Oil Packing.

Castor oil may be used to assist the liver or to treat gastrointestinal problems, lacerations, skin disorders, and to relieve pain and stiffness associated with arthritis and rheumatism. It is also used to support the lungs where there is asthma or a chest infection.

Castor oil has been used externally for hundreds of years. There are several theories as to how it works. Castor oil's effectiveness is probably due in part to its unusual chemical composition with almost 90 percent its fatty acid content consisting of ricinoleic acid. The high concentration of this unusual, unsaturated fatty acid is thought to be responsible for castor oil's remarkable healing abilities.

It also emits white light which penetrates the cell giving it energy to promote movement thereby lessening the stagnation. In addition it is known that the cell produces its own measurable light (in the form of bio photons) from within its D.N.A helix. This action of castor oil packing promotes this creation of cellular light to be used as energy for healing.

The Bowels:
If there is a build up of waste in the Colon which is 5 feet long then Colon Hydrotherapy may be suggested. However, this is not a technique that we would recommend to children.

3. Supplements:

We may suggest some initial use of supplements according to the case to hydrate the body at cellular level. The philosophy is very much that we do not want to overload the body with lots of different messages from supplements.
