At the Bunbury Natural Health Centre we use several investigations to assist in our diagnostic processes. These include:

Iridology

Iridology is the study of the iris (the coloured portion of the eye). The study of the various colours and patterns in the clients iris can help determine potential health problems. It is also able to inform the practitioner about the underlying strengths and weaknesses a person carries in their system. By knowing this information a positive and effective treatment plan can be implemented.

Iridology is a safe, non-invasive technique that allows the practitioner to assess a clients past, present and future health by observing the various patterns shown in the iris. Although there are various groupings of eye patterns, no two iris' are the same. This is because each person experiences life and health in a different way. The trained Iridologist can determine how these patterns affect and influence a person's health. Iridology does not reveal specific diseases as many diseases can display similar characteristics and changes in the body. Rather, Iridology is a preventative practice that helps people understand their basic health issues and help to inform the practitioner about the steps that can be taken to help their client to improved health.

There are many other tests available to our clients. If required our clients have the option of accessing further testing, via their GP or via an independent outside Laboratory.  These include testing for bowel problems, blood tests, saliva tests, hair analysis and allergy testing. These are undertaken only with the clients permission and of course only if needed. These tests are additional to the normal consulting process and incur an 'at cost price' from the outside provider. 

Aside from medical tests still the most valuable part of a health appraisal comes from a detailed medical questionnaire and detailed history.  This is still a very accurate way of helping to determine the basis of a client's health issues.  This detailed history takes into account current symptoms, family history, personal medical and family history, prescription medication and other natural supplementation's the client may already be taking, (and looking at any interactions that could contribute to their current health), their current diet and lifestyle, their sleep patterns, stress levels, social situations and work (and exposure to toxic materials etc).  These and other questions are considered in the clients overall health assessment. 

Other in house assessments may also include tongue and nail diagnosis.  Once all this information is gathered and the Iridology photo is taken a comprehensive treatment programme can be implemented for the client.
