IRIDOLOGY

Eyes are windows to the soul, and our well-being

 

What do your eyes say about you?

Iridology is a holistic/ alternative modality of analyzing the body through the Iris. First Discovered by Dr. Ignatz von Peczely a Hungarian scientist, Physician, and Homeopath who observed the changes in the eyes of animals after suffering trauma. These observations sparked curiosity in Dr. Ignatz von Peczely to further study the effects and markings in the eye. Inspiring other practitioners to further the field, most notably by Dr. Bernard Jensen who modernized Irigology and after over 60 years of researched created the modern day method of Iridology. His teachings continue to inspire curiosity into the interconnection between the body and the Iris.

What can Iridology teach us?

According to Iridology, the iris can show trauma to the body, deficiencies, toxicity, and inflammation. This is a tool that we use here at Bell Holistic Center to better guide our clients to meet their health goals. By observing the formation/markings of the Iris we can get a better picture at what the body needs. Along with diet and lifestyle changes Iridology can be a great tool to bring about positive changes.

Note: Iridology does not diagnose and cannot be used to detect illness.

About an Iridology consultation

Iridology consultations is between 30-45 min. It is a non invasive consultation, without any physical contact to the eye or the use of any mechanical equipment. Here at Bell Holistic Center we let our trained practitioners make their observations without depending on an electrical machine to analyze the eye. Iridology is not an exact science and may need further understanding of the individual to get better results, this is why we believe that a personal approach is best. We do this by observing the eye through a magnifying glass and a non damaging LED light to mark our findings. After making notes we then discuss the findings with our client to better understand why those specific areas require support. Creating a nutrition plan, herbs, homeopathy, Bach Flower Remedies and if necessary lifestyle changes or other forms of therapy.

Homeopathy Consultation

What are Homeopathic remedies?

Homeopathic Medicine originated in the early 1800s by a German doctor Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) who developed the classical homeopathic law of Like cures Like. Developing remedies that would help the body heal through a process of introducing a very diluted form of the active ingredient to the body which would help the body heal on its own. In the early days of Medicine, the USA adopted the Homeopathic method of healing and created Homeopathic Hospitals, treating all kinds of diseases and health problems of the time. Homeopathic remedies continue to this day and are available over the counter and in most health foods stores, and even in some pharmacies. Its been over 200 years and Homeopathy continues to thrive as a none habit, no side effect, and less harsh option to pharmaceutical medicine. Homeopathic should not take the place of traditional, prescribed medication but it can help manage symptoms and in some cases help the body heal. Here at Bell Holistic Center, we consult our clients to best guide them and recommend homeopathic remedies.

The personal approach to consultation

When it comes to Homeopathic remedies its not just about the symptoms but also about the persons state of mind and emotional response. Understanding the personal environment and emotional stimulus that can drive the symptom is key in understanding the right Homeopathic remedy. This is why here at Bell Holistic Center we take a personal approach to our consultation to further understand the individual. With over 100 different homeopathic here at our office we probably have the one you need, if not we can always order it.

My personal story with Homeopathic remedies

Here at Bell Holistic Center we have hundreds of stories of people benefiting from Homeopathic remedies. Yet I always find that the best experience is the personal story of how Homeopathic medicine saved my life. I was born premature, as with any premature birth, children tend to require special attention and in many cases may suffer from severe health problems. From the start my health was in jeopardy and little was known about how this would effect me throughout my life. Doctors told my parents to be prepared for what they described as a constant set of symptoms ranging from lowered Immune system, Learning disabilities, stunted growth, respiratory problems and who knows how many more complications. Less was known about premature babies at the time. My parents spoke about how tough it was to see me like that, so small and fragile. They told me that by the time they brought me home, none of the clothes would fit they were too big on me and most people were shocked to see how small I was. I was often sick with infections and trouble keeping up with kids my age. Often suffering from allergic reactions and respiratory problems due to complications with nasal discharge and infection. At around 5 years old my parents wanted to try something different, so they looked at the only logical option they considered at the time, a experimental surgery to help me fight infections. Desperate to find something different my mother heard of a Homeopathic doctor who had a clinic near by and was recommended to her by a close family member. With nothing to lose, she took me to a consultation and to her surprise the doctor said that my condition was treatable with Homeopathic remedies. My mother was still skeptical but knew that she wanted me to have a normal childhood. The instructions were simple, give these Homeopathic drops orally every 1hr. the entire night until they finished. I can still remember the pain of the ear infections, the inability to see form having eye infections, the feeling of the cold wind as if they were knifes going into my nose. My life was miserable, a childhood put on hold by my condition. My dad opposed the idea and was reluctant to try something so outrageous, he contested but my mother being stubborn decided to stay up all night. My mother reminds me of that night often, telling me her memories of the night she stayed up giving me little drops of water to heal me. The morning came, and to her initial surprise I had woken up earlier than usual and was now playing in the living room with my toys. My face had changed and my wheezing nose was clear. The infection had subsided and the pain was gone. My mother felt it was a miracle and after noticing the initial response my father was quick to praise the efforts of my mother that night. The Homeopathic continued then after, all night for about a week, then less and then only once a day. The Homeopathic had worked, no longer did I suffered from infections, my energy level improved and I was free from the ailments that clouded my childhood. I continued to grow just like any normal child, yet still continuing my homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy saved my life, a life that doctors thought would be filled with illness and complications. To everyone’s surprise I became a stand out student, top of my class and was reading and writing at an early age. The teachers would have never guessed that I was born premature and as an avid swimmer and runner I never had any of those symptoms again and continue my life free of ANY pharmaceuticals, and continue to live a happy healthy life. I’ve now dedicated my career to further teach my clients on the many natural and alternative options. Offering education, therapies and a holistic approach, similar to the one that helped me. Let me help you through this journey and I know that we can work together to create your own success story.

AROMATHERAPY

The nose knows

How can Aromatherapy help you

What is Aromatherapy?

The Senses provide us with information about the world around us. Although many times we do not present great attention, the sense of smell is very powerful. And it has been discovered that the sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic system, the part of the human brain that controls emotions and also has important functions related to memory.
We perceive an odor when aromatic molecules penetrate the nasal cavity stimulate the nerve terminals responsible for detecting odors. These terminals convert the influx of aromatic molecules into nerve impulses and send them to the limbic system where, depending on which they stimulate memories. For example when we smell food and remind us of moments, memories, and specific situations, as if it were a point in time that we open instantly.
In addition to working through smell, aromatherapy is used directly on the skin. Using the essential oils directly, or with lotions, massage oils, or as specific points to send signals directly to the system using acupressure points. For the reason that the essential PURE oils are composed of extremely small molecules that penetrate easily through the skin reaching the blood. Several studies have been carried out in which it has been found that some aromas can calm the claustrophobic sensation that some people feel in elevators. It has also been studied how certain scents can improve productivity at work. And just as are the topical remedies of essential oils to improve the skin, for cuts and infections of the skin. The uses of Aromatherapy are endless and there has been continued studies to desipher the curative properties of Pure Essential oils.
Warning: Aromatherapy is very complex. Each person responds differently to the various methods of aromatherapy. And the essential oils, although they are simple natural and pure products of a single plant, in reality they are very complex and powerful substances that must be used with great care, knowledge and experience.

Topical use of Essential oils in Aromatherapy

Its important to note that most oils should not be applied directly on the skin without testing the sensitivity of your skin to that particular essential oil. Most oils should be diluted before applying directly on the skin, being safe and around essential oils is key to obtaining their benefit. Here at Bell Holistic Center we offer classes and educational material to further understand the benefits and uses of Aromatherapy. Using Aromatherapy and applying it on the skin can be a very direct way of obtaining all of the benefits of essential oils, due to the highly concentrated and small molecules of essential oils, they can penetrate through the skin and reach the capillaries or small blood vessels under the skin, this allows the small particles to travel through the bloodstream and transfer its beneficial properties to the body. I like to point out that any substance that is applied to the skin and absorbed can easily travel to the bloodstream, this is not exclusive to essential oils but also harsh chemicals from shampoos, lotions, powders, makeup and many others. This is why its important to find natural and less harsh alternatives to anything that is applied to the skin (even cleaning solutions). Topical Essential oils are used to help restore skin elasticity, hydrate, clear out bacteria, relax muscles, relieve pain, and much more.

Psychoaromatherapy

The term psychoaromatherapy is used to describe the psychotherapeutic benefits of essential oils, derived mainly from inhalation but also from other methods of application. In Psychoaromatherapy, the way in which the aromas of plants influence moods and emotions is studied. For example, the effect of inducing certain moods, such as relaxation or, on the contrary, by its energetic and stimulating effect. With the healing and relaxing effect of what essential essences are, they are adequate tools for the positive support of bad emotions and all the harmful effects they cause. Due to the direct connection between the Olfactory sensor and the Limbic System, Aromatherapy can be an effective therapy to balance emotional response. The benefits of Aromatherapy in a Psychotherapy session have proven to benefit emotional release and control. The benefits can be amplified by utilizing a cold vapor defuser, around home and office to improve productivity, relaxation, and have an overall sense of well being. Here at Bell Holistic Center we utilize Psychoaromatherapy to enhance the benefits of emotional release during our sessions and we teach our clients how best to use Essential oils.
