Detoxification and Drainage

Dr Tan uses biotherapeutic drainage as a modality to detoxify and balance patients.  This is a philosophy and methodology of healing which has been practiced in Europe for more than 100 years.  It was brought to the United States in the last ten years.  Dr Tan has studied biotherapeutic drainage extensively with Dr. Gerard Gueniot, MD from France,  Dr Dickson Thom ND and Dr Mikhael Adams, ND, LAc. and is well versed in this gentle and deep acting modality of healing.

Drainage remedies are remedies that promote the excretory functions of as well as balance a particular organ or organs system. The reason this is necessary can be compared to repainting your home.  Before you actually paint, you must wash the walls, repair the holes and then prepare the surface to receive the paint..  If you paint the walls before removing the impurities, the job will soon begin to break down and will likely have to be redone before long.  The same is true in healing the body.  This is why biotherapeutic drainage is essential in order to help restore your body and maximize your vitality.

Drainage is defined as the process of detoxifying the body by opening the routes of elimination and discharging the toxic accumulations.  There are two categories of drainage routes. The primary,  which consists of most of the abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, lungs, stomach, pancreas, intestines) and the secondary routes which consists of the skin, joints and genitals.  These natural routes may not be active and functioning at all times and can lead to an unnatural accumulation of toxins.  The toxins may be the cause of many symptoms and diseases.  Your present health concerns may be the result of toxic accumulations in your tissues.  Drainage also serves to stimulate the proper functioning and balancing of organs in order to improve the person’s overall health.
