What is Asyra PRO bio-energetic health screening?
Health screening with the Asyra Pro is a painless, quick, simple, and most importantly, effective way of finding out how your body is functioning. It allows you to monitor your nutritional levels, hormone balance, toxin levels, and the energetic health of your organs. It can also help you discover any food or environmental sensitivities that are making you sick. The results from health screening allow us to give you an accurate prescription in order to promote health and healing. Plus, by keeping an eye on your nutrient levels and avoiding intolerant foods, your body has the best chance of maintaining and promoting health, fitness and well-being.
What problems can it help?
Asyra health screening can help to improve anyone's health and wellbeing and is helpful in a wide range of health concerns. It is particularly useful for people suffering from:
allergies; autism; arthritis; asthma; candida; depression; digestive problems; low energy levels & fatigue; food sensitivities; headaches; hormonal issues; hyper-activity; IBS; insomnia; menopause; ME; MS; migraines; parasites; PMS; skin problems; stress; thyroid problems; weight gain or weight loss.
Is it age-dependent?
Any age can be tested - from young babies to the elderly. Asyra testing is non-invasive and painless
What happens at an Asyra screening and how does it work?
Health screening with the Asyra PRO simply involves sitting in a chair and holding two small brass bars connected to both the diagnositc machine and a computer. The Asyra then uses a process called bio-feedback to test and record the body's energetic response to various substances. There is no waiting for results and a printed report will be given to you to take away.
What is biofeedback?
We all respond to our environments in various ways. If you see, taste or hear something you really like, you will think good thoughts and your body will physically respond by relaxing, producing saliva etc. If, however, you experience something undesirable you will respond very differently; tension, shallow breathing, thoughts of how to avoid it, etc. Bio-feedback is the body's own electrical process of monitoring how your body responds to various stimuli. The Asyra screening simply passes different stimuli through the body and records how it responds.
Is it scientifically proven?
The original concepts of Electro Dermal Screening (EDS), which is the principle behind the Asyra Pro, were developed in the 1950s by Dr Voll. Since then numerous technical studies, tests and research papers have been produced, verifying the effectiveness of the process. The Asyra Pro System is also registered with the Federal Drug Administration in America, the first such system to have both its hardware and software approved, and is used by many health practitioners around the world. In one study a 97% correlation was found with blood tests for thyroid dysfunction. Details of research studies and the history of the Asyra can be found at www.asyra.co.uk.
What do the results tell me?
The results give you a clear snapshot of how your body is functioning at the time of the test, and any areas of weakness or stress. Depending on the specific tests carried out, the results may give indications of any nutrient deficiencies, hormone or neurotransmitter imbalances, any toxins present, any viral, bacterial, fungal or parasite signatures picked up, and also any food, chemical or environmental sensitivities. We will explain the results to you and the suggested treatment so that you have a clear picture of your current health status and what needs to be done to improve it.
How long does the consultation and test take?
The Asyra screening itself is very quick, but you should allow between one and one and a half hours for the entire process. This allows time for an initial consultation where a thorough case history will be taken so that you can inform us of any health problems or concerns you have. Time will also be needed after the test to interpret the results and explain the findings to you, to run any further tests if required and to discuss recommended treatment with you.
How much does it cost?
Cost varies - please see our Fees page for more details. The cost includes the consultation, any asyra tests run and a personalised treatment plan. The price also includes support between appointments, via email or phone, if needed. Prices do not include any indicated remedies or supplements. However, if these are indicated, we can provide these for you at a discount.
Will I need further appointments?
Follow up appointments are recommended as they help you to see your progress. Also healing often occurs in layers, and once one layer is treated, the next can be addressed. It is usual for patients to have a follow-up appointment a month after their first consultation to monitor progress. This is very individual and will depend on your needs and the asyra test findings. Most patients need between 3 - 8 appointments, each spaced between four to eight weeks apart, to achieve an optimal health level. This, of course, also depends on the seriousness of the symptoms, how long you have suffered with the condition and how you respond to treatment.
The Healing Pond is a natural health clinic in Banstead, Surrey. Begun as a homeopathic clinic over 10 years ago it has evolved with its founder, Eleana Needham, to become a multidisciplinary clinic providing quality natural health care throughout the Surrey area and further afield (we even have patients come to us from Bath, Hertfordshire, London, Sussex, Kent, Essex and Wiltshire). As well as asyra health screenings Eleana Needham and fellow practitioner Callie Willows provide nutritional therapy, homeopathy, flower essences, herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, reiki, meditation, space clearing and dowsing and frequently give talks and workshops on numerous health topics such as food intolerances.
Most clients come to our main clinic in Banstead. Based in a quiet residential area, complete with free parking, we are proud of the healing space we have created here. Callie also provides asyra screenings, particularly for food intolerances, from Mystery Mountain in Dorking and Quest in Ewell. We are easily accessible from most places in South East England, but appointments are available in other areas by demand.
