Introduction to Bioregulatory Medicine
Bioregulatory medicine is a comprehensive and wholistic approach to health, which advocates the use of natural healing methods to support and restore the body’s intrinsic self-regulating, self-healing mechanisms. Bioregulation literally means the regulation of biological processes. Bioregulatory medicine promotes disease prevention and early intervention through non-toxic approaches. It employs noninvasive diagnostic aids that view not only structural imbalances but also functional, regulatory, energetic, and psycho-emotional conditions present in the patient. Join us to learn the basics of this approach and its relationship with Biological Dentistry.
