Our Philosophy
The Natural Way to Health
~ My lifelong Goal ~
Ping Zhao
Nature is doing her best each moment to make us well. She exists for no other end. Do not resist. With the least inclination to be well, we should not be sick…Henry David Thoreau
My goal, the natural way to health, is based on the following principles:
1. Nature has healing powers
I believe that the body has considerable power to heal itself. Our role is to enhance this process with the aid of natural therapy.
2. Identify and treat the cause
I believe that finding the cause of a disease, whether physical or emotional, is the most important job for us. Symptoms are viewed as expressions of the body's attempt to heal.
3. Treat the whole person
The Chinese ideogram for a human being pictures a figure rooted like a tree in the earth with hands outstretched like branches toward the heavens. If a branch has a problem, we need to find the cause from the root.
4. The natural health therapist should be a teacher
The Natural Health doctor should be educating and motivating clients to be responsible for their health by adapting their attitude and lifestyle.
5. Prevention is the best cure
The Natural Health doctor should be a specialist who recommends different approaches for their patient to prevent illness.
In order to reach this goal, we are using the following approaches in our practice:
Iridology analysis
Iridology is the study of the iris of the eye and its association with health or disease in the body.
Iris analysis is based on the markings, fibers, structures, pigments, and color variations in the iris which are located in specific areas.
Every part of the body is attached to a nerve. These nerves travel up through the spinal column to a part of the brain and then the nerves dead-end into the optic nerve. At approximately 9 weeks of development, the fetal optic nerve is produced as an extension of the brain.
When we look at the iris we are seeing nerve reflexes from every part of the body. We know what part of the body is being affected by using a chart.
The history of Iridology goes back thousands of years and a great deal of research is being done today all over the world.
Acupuncture and Acupressure
Acupuncture and acupressure are part of ancient medicine systems which teach us that life is based on the flow of vital energy (chi). Both systems involve the stimulation of certain specific points on the body along "chi" pathways called "meridians". Acupuncture points can be stimulated by inserting and withdrawing needles; acupressure is performed by is using fingers or applying moxibustion, hot stones, cups and electronic acupuncture or a combination of these methods.
Botanical Medicine
“... Plants have always provided for human life. They have nourished us with food, provided shelter, and supplied medicine — time tested medicine from the wisdom of the earth combined with the wisdom of the universe.” - Dr. Malte Hozzel
As a naturopathy doctor, I greatly appreciate the helps plant giving to human beings. They provide heat, cool, moisten, dry to nourish, and calm our organs. When we are stressed, overuse our energy and get sick, the plants are always there to help us bring our balance back.
Homeopathic medicine
Homeopathic medicine is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago. It’s based on two unconventional theories:
“Like cures like”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people.
“Law of minimum dose”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people.
Homeopathic products come from plants, minerals, or animals. Homeopathic products are often made as sugar pellets to be placed under the tongue. They may also be in other forms, such as ointments, gels, drops, creams, and tablets. Treatments are “individualized” or tailored to each person—it’s common for different people with the same condition to receive different treatments. Homeopathy uses a different diagnostic system for assigning treatments to individuals and recognizes clinical patterns of signs and symptoms that are different from those of conventional medicine.
Holistic Nutrition
Holistic Nutrition—the use of diet as a therapy—serves as the foundation of natural health. There is a growing body of knowledge that supports the use of whole foods and supplements in the maintenance of health and treatment of disease.
Tai and Qigong
Tai Chi is a centuries-old Chinese discipline for health, relaxation, longevity and improved well-being. It was originally developed as a martial art and has evolved through the ages as a system of exercise and personal development. Tai Chi is a series of slow, continuous movements, one flowing into the next, designed to relax and develop the whole body.
Qi (pronounced “Chee”) means “energy”. Qi is invisible to the eye but it is the vital life force that flows through the body and forms the very essence of human life. Qigong contributes to the growth of Qi, adding to one's life force and delaying the process of aging. Qigong involves physical movements, mental meditation, and breath control to enhance the blood, bones muscles and skin, resulting in energy and vitality.
Tai Chi and Qigong can be practice anywhere, any time and any age. The movements are simple to learn. They are considered a healing exercise because of its reputation for alleviating many health ailments. The stretching movements make the body limber, tone up muscles and create a sense of well-being.
Conclusion
I am a naturopathy doctor (ND). The naturopathy is a Latin – Greek hybrid which can be defined as “being close to or benefiting from nature”.. I am using Iridology, Acupressure, Homeopathic Medicine, nutrition, herbal supplements, Tai Chi and Qigong approaches to help our clients. I believe that all these methods are related to each other and lead to the one goal – the natural way to health.
