What primarily distinguishes holistic healing from either alternative medicine, complementary medicine or integrative medicine is that physical health is not necessarily the main focus.
Even though it may be physical issues that first prompt the pursuit of holistic healing, holistic or whole-istic healing means addressing all parts of the entire individual, not just the physical manifestations of illnesses. As such, holistic healing is not intended to serve as a band-aid or quick fix. Instead it is based on the premise that physical illnesses are simply symptoms of a greater imbalance not necessarily with the root cause being in the physical. Holistic healing is therefore an ongoing journey of discovery, ultimately involving the aim of living better, being healthier, and striving for wholeness and balance.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of healing that addresses a wide range of health problems, both physical and emotional. Rather than simply looking at symptoms or conditions in isolation, the whole state of health is examined and medicines are given in accordance with this.
Profound and deep changes often follow homeopathic treatment. These changes involve not only a resolution of specific problems, but also give a renewed sense of wellbeing and health. Homeopathic medicines are largely of plant or mineral origin, in a unique preparation. Their action is gentle, free of side effects, and suitable for all ages.
Cosmetic Aroma-Flexology
This is a simple, non-invasive method to help balance the body and face. It has been described as a natural therapy that requires the application of a specific type of pressure on particular areas. Rather like reflexology, cosmetic aroma-flexology is based on the principle that there are reflexes that correspond to every part of the body. The results include relaxing the body and face, alleviation of pain, improved circulation, improved elimination/detoxification, and providing a simple overall way to bring the body back into balance.
Acupuncture
Originating from ancient Chinese philosophy and medicine, acupuncture is the art of healing by stimulating specific body points. This is usually done with the insertion of tiny pins or needles that sometimes carry faint electrical current. Traditionally, acupuncture has been used to heal and restore body functions and various illnesses. It is also a great way to treat all manner of pain, blockage, migraine, jetlag and many more health issues.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic acupuncture stimulates all 57 of the facial muscles, subsequently circulation of the facial area is accelerated and the body's production of collagen is encouraged. In addition, the facial muscles become tighter. This particular form of acupuncture delivers a fresh-faced radiance while diminishing the signature signs of ageing. This remarkable treatment therefore improves physical appearance from the inside out.
Cosmetic acupuncture can eliminate fine lines and reduce deeper wrinkles. Bags under the eyes are diminished, droopy eyelids lifted and sagging and puffiness are gently smoothed away.
Food Intolerance Testing
It is most important to note that food intolerance is not the same as food allergy. A food allergy involves an abnormal response in the immune system caused by an antibody reaction to a protein in certain foods. Food intolerance happens when the body is unable to digest a particular type of food - often simply because there are not enough enzymes or chemicals in the system to digest the particular food.
Food intolerance does not normally involve the immune system and symptoms can often be delayed. Symptoms vary from person to person and can include bloating, headaches, eczema, rhinitis, constipation, depression, lethargy, arthritis, migraines, asthma, diarrhoea, nausea, stomach ache and a generalised feeling of not being well.
At HB Health through taking a tiny sample of blood, we are able to give extensive and accurate information to eliminate any food intolerance and associated symptoms.
Hair Mineral Analysis Testing
Hair testing is employed to assess the body's mineral and toxin levels. This method can check for - and identify - even the smallest amounts of toxins, heavy metals, trace elements and contaminants. The purpose of establishing information through hair tissue mineral analysis is to be able to re-balance body chemistry through individually designed diet and supplements. Properly followed this may then enhance the body's ability to more efficiently utilize the nutrients that are consumed, resulting in improved energy, productivity and health. HB Health offers a full hair mineral analysis profile and the subsequent report details individual metabolic profile. Dr Malik then recommends a full dietary solution and detoxification program on the basis of the metabolic profile.
Anti Stress Program
Stress is a reaction to our external environment as well as our inner thoughts and feelings. In essence, stress is our body's natural response to danger, involving the fight or flight mechanisms or the body's preparedness to do battle or flee from danger.
Stress can generate many symptoms and ultimately lead to diseases. In the long term, sustained or unaddressed stress can cause changes in immune function, hormonal response and biochemical reactions. These then influence body functions in the digestive tract and cardiovascular, neurological, or musculoskeletal systems. A wide variety of problems such as headache, backache, infection, even heart disease or cancer in the long-term, may result.
Clearly, stress has a negative effect on the body and ultimately reduces it's capacity and ability to cope with everyday living. The Anti-Stress program by Dr Malik can take many forms and usually is customised for each individual. The program can include acupuncture, massage, reflexology and more.
Ear Candles
Ear candles have been widely used throughout North America and Asia for centuries, and were even used by the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. Ear candles are hollow tubes made from cotton flax stiffened by and impregnated with extract of honey and herb oils - in particular chamomile, sage and St Johns Wort. The healing properties of these herbs have been known for thousands of years, hence no change in the recipe. The treatment is gentle and relaxing and takes up to an hour, depending on the condition being treated. The candle is placed over the ear orifice and lit. As it burns it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and herbs soften the ear wax and draw it into the base of the candle. The candle is then removed and the ear and surrounding area is then massaged paying particular attention to the sinus areas. Ear candles can help with the treatment of sinusitis, rhinitis, earwax, earache and irritation of the ears including tinnitus. It is also suitable for the treatment of headaches and migraines. It is not suitable for those with perforated eardrums, where grommets are in place or those who may have an allergy to the ingredients. It is a safe and gentle treatment for children.
Vitamin and Mineral Injections
Vitamins and Minerals are essential to the body and in particular the immune system. In your nutritional consultation, Dr Malik will determine if any additional external support is needed. This is normally done with an injection of the specific elements such as B12, B6, Iron etc.
