Reiki is a Japanese based hands-on healing technique used for physical and emotional discomfort. Through gentle touch it ignites the body’s ability to heal itself. I have seen amazing healings with Reiki from terrible leg ulcers, to cellulitis to emotional breakdowns all helped or healed with the use of Reiki. If you are constantly stressed, unable to switch off, feel out of balance but not sure why, Reiki is a wonderful non-invasive way to begin the process of your healing.

The principles of Reiki are:

Just for today do not worry
Just for today do not anger
Honour your parents, teachers and elders
Earn your living honestly
Show gratitude to every living thing

Tamara is a Reiki II practitioner and hopes to complete her Reiki Master’s certificate this year.

The goal of treatment in homotoxicology is to detoxify the body and restore the body’s natural feedback systems.

It was developed by Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg in 1952 and combines classical homoeopathy with medical science.  A homeopathically trained medical doctor, he combined the basic philosophy of homoeopathy (with its micro dose gentle medicines) and advances in the scientific understanding of the biological regulation processes of the mind and body.

Ridding the body of toxins is essential to achieving good health. Therefore, the aim is to facilitate the removal of toxins and stimulate the body’s capacity to heal itself.

Each human being possesses an innate self-healing mechanism that can prevent and treat ill health.  Homotoxicology seeks to boost the self healing and remove harmful toxins. Patients are evaluated for presenting medical symptoms, diagnoses, history, lifestyle factors, and other issues related to body, mind, and spirit.  After a comprehensive analysis, homeopathic remedies are recommended to treat acute symptoms, build internal functional strength, and ultimately cleanse underlying toxicity which causes the patient’s ailments.
According to Reckeweg and subsequent homotoxicology practitioners, illness is the body’s defence mechanism attempting to deal with the adverse effects of homotoxins; which he defined as harmful influences of a physical, chemical, biological, energetic or psychological nature.

Tamara Gries is one of Perth’s most expert bioenergy feedback analysis practitioners.

Patients go through a process similar to a virus-scan on a computer, looking for potential stressors such as viruses, deficiencies, weaknesses, imbalances, abnormalities and food sensitivities.

It reports on the biological reactivity and resonance in your body and indicates needs, dysfunctions and vulnerabilities. The information provided is fundamentally different from X-rays or blood tests, as it tells us about the electro-magnetic state of your body and the direction in which the body is focusing its energy.

The SCIO can map and balance your individual stress response to over 9000 stressors. These include but are not limited to: pathogens (bacteria, fungi and parasites), organ health, emotional factors, hormonal and spinal imbalances. The system feeds back a gentle rebalancing frequency to redress these stressors and bring the body back to its natural balance point. The initial consultation generally takes one hour with follow-up consults the same.

Tamara’s clients have found the SCIO to be hugely beneficial and are prepared to be quoted about this – have a browse of the Testimonials page to read and hear their first hand experience of a SCIO treatment.

Tamara trained in Perth, Adelaide and New Zealand prior to being asked to conduct the national SCIO training  in 1998.

Disclaimer: The SCIO system is to be used as a Biofeedback Multimedia System. It is designed for stress detection and stress reduction. The device does not diagnose or treat. Only a Licensed Practitioner can diagnose a patient. For the diagnosis or treatment of any disease please contact your licensed physician. No claims are made of the system or of its results.

Homeopathy is a gentle and effective therapy alternative, which has been around for over 200 years and is based on centuries of research and development.

Just because you may have only recently heard about it, do not dismiss homeopathy as a “new age” trend.  As more scientific studies are conducted, Homeopathic remedies are now recognised as distinct natural treatments.

The science of Homeopathy began in the late 1700’s, when the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann discovered that illness is not limited to physical issues, but is a combination of problems created by physical, mental and emotional issues.  He founded the practice of Homoeopathy (from the Greek words homoeo = ‘similar’ and pathos = ‘suffering’). It is built on the philosophy of “Let likes cure likes” (Similia Similibus Curentur).

Homeopathy is a gentle and effective therapy alternative. Its remedies are mainly obtained from natural sources which are converted into sub-molecular preparations by a process called “potentisation”.  This increases the healing effect of the original substance and removes any toxicity. This is an activating process involving dilution and succussion (shaking) which makes the remedies non-toxic and free from side effects.

They are safe for people of all ages including babies, the elderly and the pregnant. Homeopathic remedies can even be used with your animals. It is effective for both acute and chronic problems. The correct remedy can resolve deep-seated complaints such as arthritic, digestive, and respiratory disorders just as easily as minor ones like headaches, hay fever, and the discomfort of teething.

Mental and emotional problems such as lack of confidence, depression, panic-attacks, and children’s behavioural disorders also respond well to homeopathy. It truly is a remarkable system of healing.

Homoeopathy places its emphasis on the individual’s unique experience of symptoms. There is not simply one remedy for a particular illness, but rather one from a range of remedies is chosen, based on each person’s variation of the illness. This is why clients are often asked questions relating to lifestyle, temperament, likes and dislikes and family issues as well as considering medical history and the current symptoms. Homoeopathy uses all this information to find a correct remedy.
When the correct remedy has been selected, the person not only experiences the disappearance of symptoms, but an improvement in their general wellbeing – physically and emotionally.

How does Homeopathy work?

Because Homoeopathy considers the physical, mental and emotional symptoms, it brings together all aspects of your state of health, creating individualised remedies. Finding the correct remedy uses the principle of “Let like cure like” (Similia Similibus Curentur). For example cutting onions will produce streaming eyes and nose (usually lots of hot, clear fluid), and red eyes and nose. This is the “picture” of the remedy alium cepa. If we gave this remedy to a healthy person, h/she would display the symptoms of cutting the onions. If you present with these symptoms, you would be given alium cepa as the correct remedy to take – like cures like.

Another principle homoeopathy is based on is the “minimal dose”. This means we only want you to take the fewest number of doses to get you well. As soon as an improvement is seen, the number of doses you take is reduced.

As much as it causes discomfort, at times pain is a necessary form of protection. This is because our bodies are designed to experience pain as a warning.

Without this information, your body would be unaware of injuries, or the extent of the injuries. Not all pain is necessary. Harmony Health has had success by using natural medicines to bring relief to sufferers of chronic pain.  Sometimes it is as simple as course of natural remedies, following diagnosis.

Aches and pains from headaches, sore muscles, pinched nerves, or chronic conditions such as arthritis often persist long after the body has received the message.  Lower back pain, for example, is the second leading cause of absenteeism from work.

Herbs and homeopathic remedies have a long history of use to relieve pain. Feverfew has been used traditionally for headaches, migraines, and other bodily aches and pains. Arnica has been used homeopathically to treat bruising and reduce swelling. Boswellia serrata, an Ayurvedic remedy, has been clinically proven to reduce symptoms of arthritis.

It’s not in the mind – Homeopathy works. To cite one instance of many:  In a study conducted at the Centre for Complementary Health Studies at the University of Exeter, 82 osteoarthritis patients were given either white willow or a placebo. After two months, white willow bark was found to be far more effective at reducing pain than the placebo treatment.
Another trial involving osteoarthritis patients found that 100mg of white willow bark used over a two-month period helped to considerably ease pain and improve joint function. (Mills SY, Jacoby RK, Chacksfield M, Willoughby M. Effect of a proprietary herbal medicine on the relief of chronic arthritic pain: a double-blind study. British Journal of Rheumatology 1996; 35:874-8)
This and other clinical tests show that natural remedies are not psychosomatic – they do make a difference and the academic evidence is increasing as the number of objective studies grows.

Each person we see is considered on an individual basis as each person expresses their emotional pain differently. Homeopathic and herbal remedies are used to help stabilise brain chemistry, the nervous system, and adrenal system to bring about better function and coping mechanisms in times of chronic or acute stress. When our emotions go out of balance, so does the rest of our body.

Homeopathy can be used to balance emotional energy. The correct remedy can help free the mind to restore a sense of calm and stability. Homoeopathy treats the person as a whole. This includes spiritual, mental and physical aspects. We consider how the stress of life weighs on the capacity of each person to cope, and try to find the key to the signs of instability as they begin to show.

Bach Flower remedies are also used to create balance in areas of emotional and physical disruption. Bach Flower treatment specifically addresses the emotional body of the energy system and its purpose is to restore emotional harmony. The founder of Bach Flower therapy Dr Edward Bach wrote in his book, The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies: “In treating cases with these remedies, no notice is taken of the nature of disease. The individual is treated and as he becomes well the disease goes, having been cast off by the increase in health. The mind being the most delicate and sensitive part of the body, shows the onset and the course of disease much more definitely than the body, so that the outlook of the mind is chosen as the guide as to which remedy or remedies are necessary.” Bach Flowers can be used in conjunction with any other form of treatment and will not clash or interfere with it.
