Feeling Sluggish? Toxic? Out of Balance? Try Biotherapeutic Drainage
Feeling toxic? Sluggish? Out of balance? Biotherapeutic Drainage May Help!
Biotherapeutic Drainage is a type of detox, both gentle yet profound, that aids in the elimination of toxins & waste products, restoring balance to the body.
Created in Switzerland by physicians in the 1920-30’s, the Unda numbered compounds are homeopathic drainage formulas that blend both plants and minerals. The plants act as guides in the formulas due to the affinity plants have for specific organ systems (e.g., Juniper for the genitourinary tract, Hawthorne for the cardiovascular system). The plants carry the mineral component to the appropriate organ system, and the mineral provides a therapeutic effect through facilitating localized enzymatic activity. Thereby, Undas aid in optimizing biochemical function at the cellular level within specific organ systems.
Outlined below are some main characteristics of the biotherapeutic drainage system and considerations of how these remedies may provide clinical benefit.
-Safe: As homeopathics, they can be taken with all pharmaceuticals, herbs and supplements without caution or contraindication. So, they are a great adjunct to an existing treatment regimen and may help to decrease the toxic burden of medications on the body.
-Targeted: Biotherapeutic Drainage therapy can focus on one particular organ system that may be most symptomatic for a person.
-Gentle (yet profound): These remedies are great for all but may be especially helpful for sensitive patients who poorly tolerate medications or supplements. Kids respond very well, too.
-Mental/emotional: Unda numbered compounds can be used to clear mental/emotional toxicity, using the understanding that many organs have corresponding emotional functions as well as physiological.
-Balancing: They may be helpful in patients who are feeling “stuck” and have tried everything because these remedies can work to address underlying toxicity and imbalance at the cellular level. This in turn can make other therapies more effective.
-Individualized: There are 76 Unda numbers in total, which allows a knowledgeable practitioner to customize treatment to the unique nature of each person’s presentation.
Biotherapeutic Drainage is great for most ailments, but here are a few examples of conditions that I have seen improve or resolve with these therapies: anxiety, depression, menopause, infertility, persistent grief, recurrent urinary tract infections, numbness/tingling/nerve, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s, insomnia, acid reflux, thyroid disorders, joint pain, PMS.
In addition to my four year naturopathic medical training, I participated in a year-long Biotherapeutic Drainage mentor program with Dr. Dickson Thom, DDS, ND- the foremost expert in the Unda Numbered formulas and am the sole provider of these therapies at the Stram Center. In practice I have witnessed these remedies be profoundly beneficial for a wide range of conditions.
