Our bodies have an innate ability to heal themselves. Suppressing symptoms we experience is counter-intuitive and delays our return to health. Instead, we need to listen to our bodies and support them to accelerate our recovery.
We are constantly bombarded with products that claim to support our immune system, bolster our defences and protect us from harmful, external pathogens. The terrain model is the antithesis of this fear-based approach to health.
The terrain theory proposes all disease is built by the body itself. It is the host’s responsibility to build and maintain a healthy and robust environment, capable of moving and expelling toxins and waste. The solution is not to kill, cut, burn or poison your way out of illness, but to treat the body holistically and consider the influence of toxicity, deficiency and trauma.
