Biopuncture

What is Biopuncture

• Biopuncture is an injection therapy that uses biological products (homoeopathic and herbal products) into specific areas of the body.  The homeopathic and herbal preparations are dilute microdoses of plants or minerals given intramuscularly in one small injection site.  One injection intramuscularly has a systemic effect on the entire body.  Most injections are given under the skin or into the muscles.  Commonly used products in biopuncture:

  • Arnica – Used for sprains and strains, haematomas and muscle pain
  • Nux vomica – Used for digestive problems
  • Ignatia – Used for stress-related symptoms
  • Echinacea – Used to regulate the body’s immune system
  • Lymphomyosot – Used to assist with drainage
  • Traumeel – Used for inflammation and injuries
  • Zeel – Used for Whiplash, tennis elbow and osteoarthritis

  Biopuncture aims to regulate the inflammatory processes and support the natural repair mechanisms of the body.

Where are injections given?

• Most injections  are given into or just under the skin, others are given into specific muscle points or around joint areas.  At each session various injections are given into a certain zone of the body.

  Many patients are surprised at how quickly they are injected, these injections use a finer needle and the quantity of preparation injected per site is small often contributing to the painlessness of these injections.

  The products used for these injections are natural noting that they may be slower acting than conventional drugs, it is usually recommended that patients have between 4- 10 session of injections before relief is obtained, also noting that the more chronic the condition the more injections might be recommended. By encouraging your body’s own immune system to heal you, this is a more lasting and  effective way to promote the natural regulatory processes in the body that reduces inflammation, enhance the body’s natural immunity, promotes healing and better health.
