Biomesotherapy Helping your body heal
Biomesotherapy is a relatively new therapy in Australia but is great for alleviating many types of pain, and restoring normal function in degenerative conditions and with injuries (old & new) .
If you are having trouble finding relief from conventional medicine, why not find out how biomesotherapy works? You may find that it is perfect for you!
How Does Biomesotherapy Work?
Biomesotherapy works by stimulating the body’s own capacity for healing. This is done by using homoeopathic potency natural medicines and the stimulation of acupuncture and trigger points.
The homoeopathic medicine is given to the client via an inhaler, so that the body is able to absorb it faster. The specific medicine chosen is dependent on the organ or tissue that is to be treated. Once the solution has been given, less than one millilitre of sterile saline is injected underneath the skin into an acupuncture or trigger point. This is designed to stimulate the deeper organ systems and is known as the cutivisceral response. The saline solution is exactly the same as the body’s natural fluid makeup.
To properly understand how biomesotherapy works, the client needs to understand acupuncture and trigger points. Acupuncture points are part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and they help to control the flow of energy through the body. Twelve main energy channels are used. Trigger point therapy originated in the USA and trigger points are small knots that are found in the muscles. These trigger points can often cause referred pain.
By using these acupuncture and trigger points, the body’s ability to heal itself is stimulated, muscles are relaxed and imbalances are corrected. The point of biomesotherapy is not to suppress pain as many conventional forms of medicine do. Rather, it changes the information in the body in order to promote healing.

What is Biomesotherapy?
To read this on a printable form go to BIOMESOTHERAPY
Biomesotherapy is a therapy consisting of:
- Stimulating the body by putting a sterile saline solution (which is exactly the same as the body’s fluid composition) under the skin.
- This stimulates deeper organ systems known as a cutivisceral reflex arc. Oral homeopathic medicines are given simultaneously which focus upon the organ or tissue requiring treatment.
Over 70 million Biomesotherapy treatments take place in Europe each year. It is a popular form of natural medicine. Biomesotherapy offers and excellent safety profile; studies show that it as safe as oral homeopathics.
Examples of diluted natural medicines commonly used in Biomesotherapy are Traumeel and Zeel ampoules. They contain no impurities. Stimulation of local tissue does not become contaminated with preservatives and additives.
Traumeel is used for inflammations and sports injuries. Zeel is used for tennis elbow, whiplash and arthrosis. There are hundreds of different Biomesotherapy products available throughout Europe in clinical practice.
Where is the saline solution inserted?
People are often very surprised at the ease of the treatment.
The needles are fine, like acupuncture needles, and inserted into a self-loading device called an ‘inject-ease’ device. Saline is inserted just under the skin or into specific muscle points.
Some of these points are trigger points or acupuncture points. Acupuncture points are derived from ancient Chinese medicine, while trigger point therapy has its origin in the USA.
Treatment into and around joints is also common. For example, if you have elbow pain your practitioner will look for several painful spots in the arm muscles and may treat each one.
In most cases, several small treatments are given in a specific zone of the body at each session.
What about the safety and efficacy of this technique?
Practitioners of Biomesotherapy are using a technique that adheres to strict technical guidelines. They have a duty of care as a professional clinician. This involves using correct technique and sterile disposable material. This technique often has much less discomfort than the average acupuncture treatment.
Biomesotherapy uses carefully calculated diluted substances, commonly known as homeopathic potencies. Specific healing combinations of these medicines are used for particular conditions. These medicines contain low concentrations of substances, usually of plant and mineral origin.
Many of these products have been tested in modern double blind and drug monitoring studies.
The medicines used in Biomesotherapy may not be as effective as prescription drugs in the short term. Three or more sessions may be required before results are comparable. However, many patients may receive immediate relief from pain and discomfort after their treatment.
How does it work?
Biomesotherapy stimulates your body’s own healing capacity. The body is encouraged to start healing itself.
Many of the products are formulated to relax muscle tension. Pain in the knee or hip region can have a muscular origin. This means it can be treated without touching the joint itself.
The practitioner can also approach the body by working on the body’s major systems including the brain and nervous system. Biomesotherapy aims to normalise nervous system imbalance.
Another important area of Biomesotherapy is detoxification. Detoxification literally means cleaning the body. Toxins that have accumulated in the body from the environment, poor diet or from medication are able to alter the immune defense system resulting in inflammation. Toxins can also disturb the responses of your nervous system, causing pain and discomfort. These toxins are the reason why the body may not be functioning at its optimum level. Eliminating toxins (homotoxins) is an important strategy, especially when dealing with chronic disease or pain.
Biomesotherapy helps eliminate toxins and normalise an imbalanced system. Some combinations of medicines are specifically designed for this purpose, and are used in conjunction with muscle point stimulation in oral preparations.
When do practitioners suggest using Biomesotherapy?
Biomesotherapy cannot heal all your medical problems and is not a miracle therapy.
It is up to your practitioner to decide if Biomesotherapy is appropriate for you. The majority of patients are treated with Biomesotherapy as an alternative for pain management.
Although there is pain relief it is important to realise that Biomesotherapy does not suppress the symptom as with conventional medicine. It simply reorganizes the body’s information to support a healing response.
Pain is an important warning that something is wrong in the body. The source of the pain reaction must be addressed. More than one treatment may be necessary for initial improvement. If your pain is recent it may be treated in two or three sessions. If the pain has been present for months or even years, it may take several treatments.
After the first treatment, although rarely, it is possible you may feel a little worse. This is because the healing process is being activated, but it should only be for a short period. Your body may have to work on the cause of the problem and, in doing so, produces some discomfort. This means that real healing is taking place.
Many practitioners use Biomesotherapy for minor orthopedic problems. These include neck and back pain, ankle sprain, sciatica, frozen shoulder and Achilles tendonitis. Biomesotherapy is also very successful in treating sports injuries.
This modality is often suggested for those who have tried orthodox medicine without success. Other patients experiencing medication side effects may me seeking alternatives.
In some patients it may be advantageous to combine a conventional approach together with Biomesotherapy. It is not necessary to stop your current pharmaceutical medication if this is prescribed by your doctor.
If in doubt, always contact your practitioner for professional advice on whether this therapy is suitable for you. Each case must be assessed individually by a trained Biomesotherapy practitioner.
When is Biomesotherapy not indicated?
Biomesotherapy cannot heal cancer, heart disease or AIDS. It is also not suggested for the treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes, depression or epilepsy.
In many cases, such diseases are too serious or too aggressive, and can only be stopped through emergency intervention, surgery, or alternative treatments.
When serious tissue damage has already occurred it is difficult to reverse the process and bring the body back into balance again, but even in such conditions Biomesotherapy offers dramatic healing potential. Biomesotherapy is indicated for particular conditions and physical symptoms.
Biomesotherapy is a safe and efficient technique in complementary medicine. It uses a procedure to stimulate the natural self-healing capacities of the body.
Biomesotherapy is worth considering if it can help you with your personal health problems. Consult your practitioner for further information.
Homotoxicology
In homotoxicology, diseases are considered to be ultimately caused by toxins, whether toxic chemicals, bacterial exotoxins, biological endotoxins, post-traumatic cellular debris and also byproducts of the bodies metabolic processes. Furthermore, disease symptoms are said to be the result of the body’s attempt to heal itself and should not necessarily be suppressed.
In homotoxicology, homeopathically manufactured combination products are designed to work with the body’s defense mechanisms and facilitate the body’s elimination of toxic substances. When used in combination formulations which contain measurable amounts of homeopathically-prepared active ingredients, they can be utilized by Physicians to treat specific indications. Combination homeopathic products in Homotoxicology are easy to understand and use by health care practitioners trained within the conventional medical paradigm, as well as those trained in nonconventional medicine.
Homotoxicology is a bridge between orthodox medicine which has a focus on tissue integrity and homoeopathy which has a focus on the systemic effects of imbalance within the person. Whether it is an imbalance of thought, management of symptoms or lifestyle, Homotoxicology can provide a framework to understand its effect at the tissue level, furthermore it can provide health care solutions which may be used alone or used to complement orthodox treatment without drug interactions. It studies the influences of toxic substances in humans, where symptoms and disease are seen as a result of the appropriate biological resistance to these toxic substances (homotoxins). Homotoxicology views disease as a process within humans – and antihomotoxic preparations are therefore designed to deal with the distinct stages of an illness.
EVIDENCE BASED THEORY
Homotoxicology is a (sophisticated) modern form of homoeopathy and is the most prescribed form of natural medicine in Germany, where it has been used for over 50 years and is practiced by conventional doctors and natural therapists alike. In fact, 80% of orthodox doctors in Germany prescribe homoeopathic or antihomotoxic preparations for their patients. The efficacy and safety of homotoxicology is supported by close to 100 clinical trials and provides health professionals with medicines that complement orthodox treatments and provide the patient with better health outcomes than they can achieve through orthodox medicines alone.
The guiding diagnostic and prescriptive tool used in homotoxicology is known as the Six-Phase Table. This table allows the allocation of symptoms to defined phases of the body’s reaction thereby facilitates the choice of the appropriate medications.
DESCRIPTION
Excretion phase
In this phase the body’s defensive system is intact and can excrete homotoxins in various ways such as through diarrhoea or rhinitis (a runny nose).
Inflammation phase
If excretion is not sufficient, the body has an inflammatory response (such as a fever) in an attempt to neutralise toxins.
Deposition phase
If homotoxins are not sufficiently excreted and continue to flow into the body, the toxic products are stored in the extracellular space. This phase often occurs without symptoms.
Impregnation phase
Once toxins have invaded the cell and the toxins themselves become part of the connective tissue and matrix. Increasingly severe symptoms are typical of this stage and indicate damage to organ cells.
Degeneration
Abundant toxins within the cells destroy large cellular groups within an organ, resulting in organ degeneration.
Differentiation
Illnesses in this phase are characterised by the creation of undifferentiated, non-specialised cell forms. Malignant diseases lie at the end of this phase.
How do antihomotoxic preparations work?
Antihomotoxic preparations act against symptoms and also stimulate the detoxifying functions of the lymphatic system and the connective tissues. A great number of health problems respond well to antihomotoxic therapy. The phase of a patient’s symptoms or disease determines which particular antihomotoxic preparation a health practitioner will use. Antihomotoxic medicines are specialised preparations that are available only from health professionals and pharmacies with experience in homotoxicology. This ensures that patients receive the maximum health benefits offered by this system of natural medicine.
