Three levels of Healing

Iridology, Energetic Herbalism and Self-Awareness

Some background on Pieter van der Westhuyzen.
Pieter is a chemical engineer by training, who took a great interest in natural healing methods and conducted a 24 year investigation into Iridology, Naturopathy and Energetic Herbalism. As a result of his research and associated trials, he founded and directs a company that manufactures and supplies herbal remedies, namely “Energetic Herbals”. This company has the distinction of offering enhanced absorption and deliberate remedy “direction” in its herbal blends, through the correct use of herbal conductors.

Pieter has lived in McGregor, Western Cape, for the past 11 years, where, together with his partner Susan, he helps to raise and home-school a family of four children, aged between 9 and 17. For one week in every four, he sees clients in Stellenbosch, followed by a week in Hout Bay.

Pieter has over 24 years of association with Iridology, Herbalism, Nutrition and Naturopathy – starting, initially with two courses run by Farida Sharan of the British School of Iridology, in 1987, whilst he was completing his degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Natal, Durban. He travelled overseas, quite extensively for the year that followed, seeking out and purchasing every worthwhile book that he could find on the topics of Iridology, Naturopathy, Herbalism, Ayurveda, TCM and Energetic Medicine.

Upon his return to South Africa, Pieter worked awhile in industry as a process engineer, firstly for the aluminium-processing giant, Alusaf, in Richards Bay, KZN and then for Vandenbergh’s (Unilever) Edible Oils Refinery, Durban, overseeing the manufacture of margarine and cooking fats/oils. After leaving industry, Pieter lectured in Chemical Engineering at Mangosuthu Technikon and later in the Food Technology department of the Natal Institute of Technology, Durban.

This was accompanied, all the while, by his passion for natural healing methods, leading to ongoing and extensive research. He finally left Chemical Engineering eighteen years ago, after six years further of part-time study and experimentation with natural healing methods, to enter a full-time role as researcher and advisor in natural medicine.

His area of special interest in Iridology is the understanding of the mental and emotional patterns of people, as revealed by the iris of the eye and he is a very active researcher and teacher of a branch of Iridology that is coming to be known as “Psych-iridology” – a term used by Pieter to describe the mental-emotional aspect of Iridology.

In herbalism his ongoing fascination is with the application of the principles of Energetics, to both Western and Eastern herbs, along with our indigenous South African herbs, in which he has received practical training from traditional healers.

Iridology.

Iridology is a system whereby one studies the iris and the sclera (the coloured and white parts of the eyes, respectively) under magnification, taking note of any markings, their shape, depth and colour – all of which have a specific meaning - and matching the position of these to an accurate Iris Map. The positions and the nature of the markings indicate the organs, or systems affected and the extent thereof.

At a few glances it is possible to reveal what the body’s strengths are, as also to detect genetic and/or acquired weaknesses, such as:

Early warning on cyst or tumour formation, accumulation of toxins, tissue damage, the levels of nerve and blood supply, muscular tension, deficiencies, mucous or lymph elimination, parasite infestation or infection - and much more.

More fascinating, still, is what the irises of your eyes have to say about your mental and emotional tendencies, but more can be said about that later…


Energetics

You can get to know your body and its needs in terms of this language of logic.

Find out what your temperament is, the specific syndrome of each organ in your body and how this is strengthened or weakened by the food, drink and supplements that you consume. Such knowledge can help one regain and maintain health through foods, herbs and lifestyle.


A range of herbal blends is based on Pieter’s experience in using herbal medicines to balance the temperament of the illness as it combines with that of the “afflicted” person’s temperament, these are known as Energetic Herbals.


Self Awareness

By now most of us have heard enough and seen enough, to know that there is a state of healing that goes beyond even what a healthy body, good relationships and excellent finances can offer. This is the healing from mass-delusion and the return to our natural state, in which the mind and heart are at rest and living presence is felt.

Pieter is available to give talks on any of the above topics. He teaches short courses entitled “Iridology”, “Psych-iridology” (Mental-Emotional Iridology) and “The Energetics of People, Plants and Food.” He has written a hand-book on each of the above subjects, as also a short book on the subject of Non-duality, entitled, “Awareness Itself.”
