Bioregulatory medicine, also known as biological medicine or European biological medicine, is based on the concept of homotoxicology. Homotoxins can be any substances, both exogenous (originating outside the body) and endogenous (originating inside the body) that directly or indirectly affect the body’s regulatory mechanisms.
The bioregulatory medicine healthcare movement was born in the early 1900s in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and is based on the traditional healthcare practices such as homeopathy, physiotherapy, natural medicine or naturopathic practices utilized in those parts of the world. In addition, bioregulatory medicine has been influenced by anthroposophical medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and the ancient Greek physicians.
Bioregulatory medicine looks at the person as a whole and takes into account each individual person’s unique biochemical, energetic, structural, sociological, and/or psychoemotional patterns. Treatment protocols are individually based to address the particular factors coming up for each person and can include a variety of natural remedies and treatment methods. The focus is on addressing the underlying deeper layers of dysfunction as they come up instead of treating surface level symptoms or treating the person as a label or their diagnosis.
The main focus of treatment is on drainage and detoxification, optimizing organ function, and immunomodulation in order to support and restore the body’s intrinsic self-regulating and self-healing mechanisms.
