Praxis für Natur- und Sportheilkunde

• Federally certified naturopath

As a federally certified naturopath, I am the first and complementary point of contact for complaints relating to the musculoskeletal system, digestive organs, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, urogenital tract, immune system, nervous system, and endocrine system.

I treat my patients using manual methods such as structural craniosacral therapy, which follows the osteopathic concept and was developed from it, as well as classic and sports massages. I also provide advice on nutrition, micronutrient supplementation, and phytotherapy.

Intestinal health is at the forefront as the basis of all health and disease phenomena and can be evaluated using appropriate diagnostics and brought into balance using special naturopathic remedies and procedures.

I follow the general principles of humoral medicine based on the four humors theory, iris and facial diagnostics, and specifically the concepts of F. X. Mayr, Pastor Kneipp, and Pastor Künzle.

• Structural craniosacral therapy

Structural craniosacral therapy was developed from the concept and philosophy of osteopathy and offers a direct and gentle way of releasing blockages that prevent both physiological posture and self-regulation and thus healing. Blockages can be caused by poor posture, prolonged one-sided strain, or trauma to the body and/or psyche.

Since the human being is a whole, disturbances of the internal organs and organ systems can influence the musculoskeletal system and vice versa. One of the most common causes is chronic stress. For example, digestion that is disturbed and impaired by stress will result in micronutrient deficiencies, which in turn can cause disturbances throughout the body.

Structural craniosacral therapy treats the person on a physical, mental, and emotional level. It treats the whole person.

• Classic massage

Classic massage with the release of muscle tension is the supreme discipline among manual techniques.

Sometimes it is enough to treat the tension in a muscle group a few times and the symptoms disappear.

This is particularly successful with what is known as functional massage.
 

• Sports Massage

Sports massage is a special form of classic massage that is tailored to the needs of the athlete.

Depending on whether it takes place before or after the competition, toning or relaxing or regenerating techniques are used.

Massage products can enhance these effects through warming or cooling effects.
 

• OM therapy

OM refers to therapy with orthomolecular agents such as minerals, trace elements, amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins. It is based on an existing deficiency that can be caused by malnutrition, high consumption in stressful life situations, or soil depletion caused by conventional agriculture.

Deficiencies can be detected, for example, by a hair mineral analysis.

• Nutritional counseling

Let your food be your medicine. Nutrition is the basis of our energy balance and thus our well-being and health. Preference should be given to uncontaminated foods that are organic, regional, and seasonal. Nutrition is an individual process that can be identified by changes in food preferences. What suits the tailor may not suit the blacksmith. Not everyone should eat tomatoes or herring. Only those who tolerate them well. In order to identify which nutritional type a patient is and where they are currently in their life, humoral medicine and iris diagnosis are also used.

• Homeopathy

Heal like with like. If China can cause shaking fever, it can also cure it. Those who suffer from hay fever in the spring, e.g., due to hazel pollen, could make their own homeopathic dilution from it.

In addition to Schüssler salts, the range of homeopathic remedies includes all potentized active ingredients in potencies from D 1 to C 10,000 from the company Ceres. These are available from St. Peter Apotheke Zurich, for example.

• Phytotherapy

Nature has given us a herb for every ailment, tailored to our individual needs. Here, too, the characteristics of the individual, such as temperament or nature, as well as their constitution as a basic predisposition and current state of health, determine the basis for the appropriate remedy. In my practice, I mainly work with mother tinctures from Ceres or recommend the addition of herbs in the kitchen in connection with nutritional advice.

• Body detox

Detoxification and purification are functions that accompany and determine the entire life process, especially of the skin, liver, and kidney systems. Body detox supports these functions.
