Biotherapeutic Drainage

Biotherapeutic drainage is prescribed as an advanced drainage remedy at Brio Integrative Health Clinic. The goals of drainage are to restore balance to the body at the cellular level, repair organs affected by chronic disease, and to build up the body’s tolerance and resistance to future illness. Drainage is the process of detoxifying the body by opening the emunctories. Emunctories are defined as main routes that the body uses to eliminate toxins from any source, namely: the liver, kidneys, skin, intestines, mucous membranes and the lymphatic system. Dr. Dhiman has studied under pioneers of drainage: Dr. Guinot, MD; Dr. Dickson Thom, DDS, ND; and Dr. Bouku Leve.

Biotherapeutic drainage is a system of healing that has been practiced in Europe for over 100 years.  The Unda remedies are considered biotherapeutic drainage, and are complex homeopathic formulations that originated in Belgium in the 1930’s.  The remedies are formulated on the basis of homeopathic, botanical, Chinese medicine and anthroposophical traditions.  The remedies are very gentle but deep acting.  They are dilutions of plants, minerals and metals.  This system of healing has been practiced in North America for over ten years and requires extensive training before it can be used by practitioners.

We are all continuously exposed to environmental toxins, poor nutrition, poor lifestyle choices, pollutants, medications, parasites, yeast, bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals such as Mercury.   Toxic emotions such as fear, worry, and stress, as well as past trauma can also be part of our programmed thoughts.  All of these are toxins can result in the formation and accumulation of bodily toxins.  If the build up of these toxins exceeds the body’s ability to eliminate them then chronic disease occurs.  Toxins are eliminated through the emunctories: liver, kidney, lungs, and gastrointestinal system.  If the emunctories become inefficient at removing toxins, then chronic disease states can arise with a variety of changing symptoms.   Biotherapeutic drainage is key in treating chronic conditions, as well as for maintaining good health.

Toxins will present as dis-ease if the emunctories are inefficient.  Blocked emunctories are similar to a house in which all doors and windows are locked.  Throughout the daily running of the household garbage is accumulated and placed in bags.  The garbage bags are filled and placed by the doors, but trapped inside the house.  After some time, there is quite the build up of garbage bags by the locked doors.  The indoor system of the house will eventually become broken down and polluted.  Unlocking the doors is the only way to get rid of the garbage.  The body will and must find alternate routes to eliminate these toxins.  If left untreated, they can manifest as disease:   

• Detoxification

• Weight loss

• Arthritis

• Migraines

• Sinusitis

• Eczema/psoriasis/
• Asthma/hives

• Urinary tract infections

• Cardiovascular issues

The above-mentioned are a few of the conditions treated via drainage. Virtually every person will benefit from drainage.  The drainage and homeopathic remedies are used at very low doses.  The remedies help the body to detoxify at a cellular level by stimulating each cell to work more efficiently to eliminate toxins.  Drainage not only helps the body to discharge toxins, but also helps stimulate the proper function of the organs and enzymes of the body.  Through regular repetition of the drainage remedies, the organs will detoxify and the enzyme systems will be recharged.  

When patients' organs are balanced and their toxins eliminated, their overall health is excellent, and they experience a state of deep wellness. 

Drainage is a system of treatment often used in our River of Health Program:

Phase 1 of the river:  The river is quite polluted at the bottom.  Remedies are prescribed to treat symptoms or areas of concern patients have when they come into the clinic.  Patients are clear and concerned about their symptoms.

Phase 2 of the river:  The river is calm and beginning to clear.  Patient are feeling quite well and their symptoms are decreasing in severity.  This point includes an exploration of how and where their symptoms originated, and the prescription of remedies to correct their imbalances at the root level.  Prevention of future illness is also key at this level. 

Phase 3 of the river:  The peak crystal clear origin of the river has been reached.  Patients feel extremely well.  Remedies are now prescribed to create the kind of life the patient intends to live.  Their bodies no longer expend energy fighting and fixing inward imbalances, so now they can use that energy outwardly to create their best life! 

Note:  Practitioners at Brio are well trained to treat patients starting at any level of the river, and to guide them as far along the river as they want to go.
