  • Homoeopathy & Bowen
    Homoeopathy & Bowen by Simone Guest SRN MCCH MARH MBTER The spur to writing this article was attending a meeting with some 25 homeopaths recently. I volunteered to be a guinea pig in an audience participation exercise exploring homeopathy and the treatment of asthma. When my turn came to speak, I said that my first line of treatment would be to use the Bowen Technique because it has such a good success rate. Presented with someone with asthma, I would use Bowen for the first two or three sessions and watch what happened. Then I would add homeopathy (if necessary and, yes, it can be IF!). The “if” seemed to take the audience by surprise! During the lunch break, three homeopaths approached me to ask for more details. I left out some leaflets concerning Bowen – and all these were taken. I then realised that there is a great deal of interest in the Bowen Technique among homeopaths yet little knowledge which seems a pity when the two therapies are very compatible, either in tandem or given at separate sessions. My Introduction to the Bowen Technique Homeopathic training completed, I was starting to practise and seeing some patients with musculo-skeletal pain which did not always respond to homeopathy. There is a growing awareness amongst some experienced homeopaths that homeopathy does not always have all the answers, that sometimes other things are necessary. Indeed, Hahnemann wrote in The Organon of the need for good diet, exercise, massage and baths. Here I must emphasise, however, that Bowen is not a form of massage.

According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow. There is no generally-accepted anatomical or histological basis for these concepts, and modern acupuncturists tend to view them in functional rather than structural terms, (as a useful metaphor in guiding evaluation and care of patients). Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world. Bowen Technique The Bowen Technique is one version of a group of technical interpretations of the work of Australian osteopath Tom Bowen (1916–1982) known as Bowen Therapy, which is a holistic system of healing.

  • 1 Bowenwork for Nurses and Healthcare Practitioners: Healing
    Bowenwork for Nurses and Healthcare Practitioners: Healing with Your Hands Sandra Gustafson BSN, RN Healing professionals, in their desire to help people, often aspire to make hands-on contact with patients yet still must maintain a healthy, therapeutic relationship. My career began as an Intensive Care-trained RN in a hospital setting in Australia. I loved to use my nursing skills to support my patient’s return to health after life-threatening events, but was limited in what else I could offer within my scope of practice. I became a Naturopathic practitioner, hoping to be able to work in a field that would combine my nursing and naturopathic skills. Fortunately, the positive trend towards Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), offering integrated, holistic care, has enabled me to fulfill my goals. I currently work in Santa Rosa, CA, in an Integrative Medical practice, alongside an MD Neurologist. Patients are offered highly skilled medical care as well as nutritional supplementation, herbal and homeopathic medicine, acupuncture and Bowenwork to support their recovery from illness or injury. Of all the modalities I use, Bowenwork is the one I use most often with my patients, giving me the satisfaction of connecting with them through my hands and intuition without any undue strain on my own body. The late Mr. Tom Bowen, from Geelong, Australia, developed the work from the 1950s through the 1980s and helped thousands of people with many different conditions, acute and chronic— infants, children, adults, disabled and elderly folk. Bowenwork is a very gentle, soft-tissue technique that resets dysfunctional tissue tension patterns, and supports the body in healing itself (Gustafson, 2010).
