Natural Therapy
The Natural Therapy Centre is associated with the
Lotus Yoga Centre. Run
by Eric Doornekamp, a natural therapist with 35 years experience as an
alternative health practitioner, the Centre offers a wide range of
treatments and therapies. Eric's motto is "Nature Cures" and the
therapist assists in the process; health needs a holistic approach, and
his treatments involve a thorough assessment using nutrition and herbal
therapy.
A free 10 minute iridology assessment is available
by
appointment. Please contact us if you
are interested in any treatments.
The following treatments available:
Naturopathy:
The aim is to draw
on the curative powers inherent in each person. The naturopath assists
in this process by prescribing a health regime, such as detoxification
programmes with herbs. Vitamins and minerals are used as complimentary
medicine.

Massage:
The benefits are well
documented such as soothing nerves and relaxing sore muscles,
increasing circulation. Swedish massage involves deep tissue therapy to
relieve stress and Oriental massage on pressure points stimulates the
flow of qi or energy in the meridians.

The practitioner examines
muscular - skeletal structures. Massage is applied to loosen up tight

Nutrition:
There is a saying, "We
are what we eat." Maybe a somewhat simplistic view of health but
nutrition is important in the prevention and treatment of disease. A
correct diet is a major factor in every aspect of medicine. Of
course lifestyle also plays an important role, especially in times of
stress.

Iridology:
Abnormal markings in
texture and colour of the iris may reveal the physical - mental state
of the body. It is a useful tool in the preliminary diagnosis of an
illness before there is a serious breakdown in health. A free ten
minute assessment is available.

vitality and improved sleep patterns are amongst the benefits reported.

relief of physical pain or discomfort caused by injury, illness or
disease and speeds up recovery after surgery. Level 2 Reiki
