daughter, Anna Allman, the medical spa located at
502 Wall Street in Valparaiso offers an extensive menu
filled with a wide range of skincare treatments and
alternative medicines.
“In the end, if you have a health or aesthetic concern,
it’s best to come to us,” added Gaddis.
TREAT THE PATIENT RATHER
THAN THE DISEASE
Gaddis focuses on wellness through homeopathy,
a study of medicine using minute concentrations of
natural elements from plants, animals, or minerals to
create FDA approved medications.
“Using a homeopathic approach to medicine, we
don’t treat the disease; we treat the patient who has
the disease,” said Gaddis. What this means is one
determines which homeopathic medication will be
most effective by the patient’s response, not the illness
or the symptom.
For clarity, let's use a real-life example. Gaddis had a
client who had a rash around her mouth. To treat the
symptom, she was put on steroids, but the rash kept
coming back. For three years, her primary doctor,
dermatologist, surgeon, even the Mayo Clinic could not
figure it out. Gaddis dug into her health history, asked
why the rash was only around her mouth, and why the
steroids only worked for a little while. She discovered
the client was allergic to her toothpaste. Once she
stopped using that toothpaste, the rash disappeared.
ENHANCING THE BODY’S ABILITY TO
HEAL ITSELF
Sanctuary Skincare and Wellness Spa also delves into
energy medicine like LED, PEMF, and microcurrent. A
client of hers had poor circulation, unable to walk to his
mailbox. After getting treatment and buying energyenhancing
equipment, in less than a week, he was
walking out to his mailbox. In a month, he was mowing
his lawn and grocery shopping.
“All of your energy medicine, your homeopathy, and
even supplements usually don’t directly treat diseases;
they enhance the body’s ability to fight diseases,”
explained Gaddis.
A NATURAL, SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO TAKE
CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH
Gaddis’ passion for alternative medicine shows that
each of us has a unique energy reaction to a disturbance
in our body. Yet, there are natural, safe ways to prevent
and treat these reactions. It is our responsibility to
actively seek out self-care measures to live a healthy life.
“Our health is our most valuable asset,” added Gaddis.
Let’s not take it for granted.
