I’ve had the good fortune of living in a family that seeks out natural ways to heal the body.
We’ve all heard the phrase, ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ The prevention is something each of us can learn and practice on our own, and in our homes.
My family are not doctors - though there are a few that earned their nursing degree - what they are good at, is thinking outside the box.
One way that we have colored outside the lines, is in the practice of Electro Dermal Screening.
EDS has its roots in acupuncture. While acupuncture uses pressure to release and move stored energy, EDS uses polarized electrodes to measure the health of the bodies organs.
Our skin has a galvanic resistance on its surface. Coupled with that galvanic resistance, are specific organ pressure points that allow us to know if there are nutrient deficiencies or slowing organ capabilities.
So how does it work? A patient will sit down and hold a brass rod in one hand, and place their other hand flat on the table. The trained practitioner will apply a probe that sends an electrical current through the organ projection area.
Sounds like science fiction right? Well, it works. I’ve had sat down with members of my family multiple times.
We typically discuss a few things that are going on health wise, and begin searching the health of the organs based on the symptoms we find.
For instance, when I was high school and struggling with acne, we tested the alignment of my spine.
While my food intake was on point - aside from ice cream of course - my spine was pinching parts of my intestine. That made sense to me then because of some digestion issues I had been having. Food was not finishing it’s cycle through my system, and bad bacteria was allowed to prosper. You get the idea.
There is so much science and intrigue to study in the world of EDS, and I encourage you to take a look at it.
The amazing thing to me is how the body always works in unison. When that fine melodic symphony is out of tune, indicators and notifications will begin popping up to let us know something is wrong. When you have a good conductor, it becomes a scavenger hunt to find the problem. I’m blessed to have so many in my family to turn to.
