How Charles Segard Works to Heal Your Body

Everything Charles does is about bringing the whole body into balance. When balance is reached, issues in isolated areas are often resolved. Charles then focuses on the remaining problem areas because chronic and recurring problems may continue until addressing the underlying imbalance.


Although when the body is brought into balance, the individual issues disappear many times. However, chronic or recurring issues will continue to occur until the underlying imbalance that caused them is addressed.
