" Illnesses may be identical but the persons suffering from them are different"
(Ta Ch'un).

Health is not just an absence of illness, but also the positive balance of all aspects the whole person, including body, mind, emotions and spirit. Accident, injury, physical or emotional stress, can throw this balance out and lead to uncomfortable symptoms or disease.

The life medicine clinic is based on the following principles:

• Focussing not on the symptom or the disease, but on the individual
and on his or her unique way of life and response to their condition

• Supporting the body's own ability to heal and rebalance itself and
thus strengthen it for the future

• Giving control back to the individual and offering them the information
and skills necessary to maintain their health in the years ahead

• Helping people to find creative ways of dealing with stress and
enabling them to recreate their health as they would like it to be

• Offering alternative treatments when drugs or surgery
have failed or integrating both approaches when appropriate
